Faith (3)
Written in the days leading to Jesuit High School 50 year "Class of '75" reunion. Based on a scripture reading depicting faith as a continual journey, rather than a place that you arrive at and settle into. We are all works in progress. And therein lies the need for continual prayer, unending forgiveness, and constant growrh.Though our Destination remains firm, our journeys continue...Vaya con Dios.

A song written over 10 years ago, shortly after my 40 year high school reunion. I have been working with it again lately as our class is preparing to celebrate our monumental 50th reunion in May. This is the lyric video for the song.

A song written over 10 years ago, shortly after my 40 year high school reunion. I have been working with it again lately as our class is preparing to celebrate our monumental 50th reunion in May. This version of the video uses GIF scenes from one of the greatest films in history, Citizen Kane, to enhance the mood.

A song written in the latter part of 2024, and recorded on 1/9/2025. Most of the images used are classic works of art which are now in the public domain, with the exception of one painting that appears at the 2 minute mark. I'm not certain what the title of that painting is, but it was created by my friend, Derek Damico, who has been instrumental in helping me learn about art. #faith #hope #ble...

Fantastic song Mike! Really enjoyed this one! Bravo! :)
@@davidjoshua 🙏✝️❤️✌️
Wow, Mike! That was supernatural brother! Really dig the layers both musically and lyrically to your song. Very moving. Deeply humbled by your words.
@@davidjoshua thanks, David...I tried to capture a mood that felt Joshuaish....once I heard the whistle, I went with it.
Bravo, Mike! You're soundin' great! Really am blessed to listen to your first offering of the year! Beautiful tune! Bravo! :)
Thank you, David...always nice to hear from you. Not sure if I reached put to you on something I did a while back....it was inspired by "Glory", and some of the similarity of our thoughts...the song was called "I Stumble"...if this link doesn't work, just scroll down my video list, and you'll find it...thanks for your inspiration. Keep fighting the good fight.... ua-cam.com/video/a8Lu8ymKjYY/v-deo.htmlsi=IxbhuMMed3m4q3yq
@@baluja123 You're welcome. Thank you for sharing your talent! :) It's humbling to hear you were inspired by one of my songs. I shall check out your song, I Stumble. Thank you again, for sharing your talent. :)
Love this performance ❤ Awesome soul track!
@FernandoGarcin Happy Año Nuevo...
The Hopper is not actually Hopper. But it's very interesting. Where did you find the image?
Who is the artist?
happy new year bro!
Que Dios te bendiga... ✝️♥️🙏✌️
the music evokes the same mood as the painting! love it!
@@daboiderinhoDerekDamico I totally agree. Once again, thank you for turning me on to these beautiful works.

@@daboiderinhoDerekDamico a did about 10 variations of this short....I love playing with it....
the hopper painting goes well with this melancholy gem! love it!
@@daboiderinhoDerekDamico I loved it so much, i had to lead off with it....i think what you said about using the green and red of Christmas was spot on....
love it maestro!
@@daboiderinhoDerekDamico the devil was trying to get me to delete it after I posted it, but the Master said, "don't you dare...'it's My word against his... donf be ashamed to put it out there."

Sweet stuff, Mike. Braddock St got more traffic than most of those early Bucs games.
@@jkdooley1Thanks for stopping by, John ... It was certainly more entertaining than some of those first games...
Lovely! Have a good one Mike Baluja!
@@HarryVsingersongwriter Thank you, Harry.... ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love this house my grandparents lived off of Abdullah and we always came to my grandparents for Christmas and we would always come by this house. What a wonderful memory. I am now 62 years old and I still remember how fun it was and how my eyes lit up when I sell all those beautiful Christmas trees my favorite was when they added the skating ring. Thank you so much for childhood memories back to me the good ones and thank you for my grandparents Joe and Ophelia Gonzalez, who brought us every year thank you for our home to yours the Urban.
It never ceases to amaze me...how much those who grew up in our generation affectionately remember those who made Chistmas special for us back then.This song is a well deserved tribute the love they put into displaying their Christmas spirit.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

such a nice song! your young singing voice, though not as developed, is cool to hear! it's like a jazzy velvet underground song!! love it! your huge fan, da boi d
@@daboiderinhoDerekDamico yeah, there's a quality to these recordings that I've discovered only by letting go of the inhibitions that kept them buried for so many years. They're really not as bad as I thought they were. The songs have always been with me, but I had totally abandoned these early recordings. I've always loved this song...it tells the artists story...the painter, the writer, the dreamer...it's about you and me... Fer and Booby G....all of us who put our hearts out there for everyone to see.
@@baluja123 damn right bro
Good stuff!
