Amy Grant - It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The bestest holiday ever is coming uppp!!! Soo exciting!!! The Christmas trees and Christmas lights are all making an appearance. Such a happy, warm season :)

My parents bought the Christmas Amy Grant CD when I was tini and we faithfully played it every year. I can't seem to do without it now (thank God for youtube!). I've lost the CD but found the music. It never fails to bring that tingly Christmas feeling!!

Zara

Getting ready to do some online shopping and came across this on the Zara site: http://www.theselby.com/

This is why I love Zara!!! They are Random and dreamy :)

Savior, Please ~ Josh Wilson

I'm starting to understand why my lil cuz loves this song so much!

the eagles - love will keep us alive

Miss my family in Durham. Wish I could go back and be with them this week. Each one of them made this month special no matter the madness. It's so frustrating when your greatest source of happiness becomes your biggest heartbreak. Thankfully my foundation does not depend on any human. If it was my life would be a disaster!

Rain - Priscilla Ahn

Unedited pictures of November rain! Loving the weather (gloom). The best month of the yr has begun :) Enjoy the chill out rain music. x

Lykke Li - Tonight

Don't you let me go tonight....

Joshua Radin - You're the first the last my everything

I have no words to explain my excitement when I found this. I first heard it when Tiffany & co. released the advertisement for their 'true love' collection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sXfPGDLogY&feature=related) in April this yr and since then searched and searched for the whole song. They couldn't have picked anyone better to sing the song. Joshua Radin and his dreamy voice is PERFECT for the cover. He just took the Barry White classic and made it his own. What an artist. There is no pictures with this post cos I don't want anyone to get distracted when listening to this. I am in heaven. He makes love seem ridiculously perfect when he sings :) ENJOY!!! x

Moon River

Mindy Gledhill - Anchor

Mindy Gledhill such a good artist. Listen to moreeeee......... :) x

You Take My Troubles Away

Migration Installation

Found this on Saatchi Online and thought it was pretty interesting. It's a bit long but it makes you think :) x

The way I am

Strings

I just found this randomly and I love love love love love THEM!!! Look at them PLAY!! WOW!

(Pictures from my Copenhagen trip! These are my fav pictures. Really want to get them framed or just do something cool with them!) 

Can't help falling in Love with you

Shit day. Glad its over. 

Dishwalla

As promised, Dishwalla. Enjoy..

I Wish You Love

Collective Soul - Run

I used to constantly listen to collective soul. I am surprised I haven't heard them in so long. Dishwalla was another fav during this period. Will upload some of their tunes soon. Feels so good listening to something you haven't heard in yonks.

Lie In the Sound

All time favorite song! It's a drift away tune which I am in need of at the moment. I am in between homes and people I love. Letting go of the past and running into my future if that makes sense. Apparently it's time to grow up..

"Oh the timing is cruel
Oh I need and don't want to need
More than I should

I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love, but whatever
My heart needs around"

(Louisiana Museum of Modern Art  - Denmark. This is such a fab museum. Defiantly worth traveling to if your in Denmark. If art is not your thing the food in the cafe is ridiculously good. I'd recommend the mushroom soup. Heaven!! The layout of the museum is great. It's an art piece all by itself)

Quiet

 

 ( Beach in Sunderland the day after exams..)

Betray

Give me heart

How can you not like her!! Her voice and piano so dreamy. Such a good drift away song like everything I love. I am half way through my exams. Trying to keep it together and reach the end with my sanity.

(Miriam and friend at Hild Bede College day. Love the dance moves )

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (Live in L.A.)

I think John Mayer redefined boys with guitars. When he starts playing and singing it's hmmmm.....lovely! He has too many songs I like but this one is perfect for today. A smooth Jam to get lost in.

This message will change your life!

This is brilliant! I wish my lectures notes were described like this. Exam prep would be so much better. Also sorry if this is too much for you. It made sense to me and I got excited when I watched it so had to share :) xx

Who Are We Fooling

In absence

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence."

Look After You

With Or Without You

This is probably going to be frond upon but I think this cover is better than U2 original. I do love the U2 version but after a bit I get bored. When the song plays in friends I get a warm and fuzzy feeling but when I hear the song on it's own, a bit boring. Anyway this version is fab. Even if you love the original I think you can appreciate this one. Hope everyone is having a good week.

(Lora and my feet in York during the Easter break. Now we are back working for exams. Ew.)

Aftermath

"Now all I have I count it all as loss

But to know You and to carry the cross
Knowing I'm found
In the light of the aftermath"

"Eli, Eli lama sabachthani"

For he was forsaken so we would never be. (Psalms 22)

Everywhere I Go

Saw Lissie live last yr and it was something quite special. She wasn't the main act and I had not heard of her before so was not expecting much. Her voice blew me away. She has great voice control and strength when she sings and when she performs you can tell she really puts everything into it. This was her opening song and I still love it!
