Hello there, you're listening to Positive Tunes 好歌學英文.
My name is JR, and each week on the show we talk about a specifically chosen positive song for you.
We talk about the song, the artist. We sing it, and we teach you the English lyrics.
So the artist and song we've chosen today is - 'More Beautiful You' by Jonny Diaz.
Jonny Diaz comes from sunny sunshine Florida.
And after graduating from high school he was offered a full athletic scholarship to play baseball for Florida State University.
Actually, all of his brothers, four of his brothers were all offered college baseball scholarships.
Quite an athletic family.
His brother - Matt Diaz played in the major leagues.
So Jonny, he played on his school team for one year. But after that he felt that God was calling out out to him to pursue music.
Jonny released two independent albums within college.
But it was till his first major label album in 2009 that made his mark in the business.
It's called - 'More Beautiful You'.
The lead single of the same titled album peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs Chart.
This song is all about breaking the wrong idea of image and beauty that is sent forward by magazines and TV shows that we watch nowadays.
And according to Jonny Diaz, "It's contradictory to the truth".
So this song is basically just singing, "Hey, you know what. According to God, you were created with a purpose in mind, and therefore there can never be a more beautiful you."
So let's sing this song today.
I hope you like it. It's very positive, gives you a very great image about yourself.
And later on we'll teach you the English lyrics. So here it goes.
And that is your 'Positive Tunes' for today.
Jonny Diaz's 'More Beautiful You'.
