"kiss me slowly" parachute

wasn't a huge fan of their first release on their upcoming album, but with this one, i'm a parachute believer again. loving the simplicity of this video as well.

Whitney - she's still got it.

"sooner or later" michael tolcher

old song that a friend put on a new mix. heard & instantly loved. created a little nostalgia for baz luhrmann's "wear sunscreen" song :) cheers to a little sunshine today!

perhaps one of the most underrated musicians i've seen.

description:
"His music is acoustic guitar singer-songwriter fare, his poetic lyrics tinged with bittersweet memories and hope for the future. And his voice has a strong range capable of reaching a falsetto pitch that Justin Timberlake would envy."

lyrics:
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
for the weight of us, for the weight of us
for the weight of us, for the weight of all of us
The time has come, let us be brave....
Shake off all of your sins, the time has come, let us be brave, let us be brave

favorite track:
"where i belong"

Adele. enough said

You Go Girl...you 12yr old you!

lightning 100 bday bash

last night, i was blessed to see these nashville gems (among others). i was overwhelmed with the feeling of never wanting to leave nashville. ever. for me, live music is life giving.

Teach Me How To Dougie?...seriously.

eli "paperboy" reed

one of paste's top 10 solo artists of 2010. hard not to smile when listening to this marvin gaye-esque song!

Should i be embarrassed?

perhaps a dance party?

i found this song on my friend Ben's wall. he loves fun music, so this definitely falls in that category. enjoy Robyn!

"love came down" - brian johnson

we've been singing this song at Midtown recently, and each time i tear up. there's something so moving in singing out with a congregation about God's love for us and repeating "i am Yours". the line "mountain high or valley low - i'll sing out, remind my soul" is so evidenced in my life. as i sing out, God allows music to speak His Truth into my soul. so thankful for the limitless ways He reaches us via song, art, nature...

Andrew Allen? i like it.

can't get enough

no shock to you, but i am a little more than sick with a Bieber Fever. the ESPN guys love him, along with Johnny Depp and many many others...including Chelsea Handler. i loved this interview so much. hopefully this fever will go down soon, but until then, enjoy:

andrew mcmahon

vocals for something corporate and jack's mannequin.

much appreciation for:

his story (leukemia survivor, non-profit starter)

his writing (“With each new day it becomes more apparent to me that everything and everyone in this world is connected in some beautiful and inexplicable way, and the more I accept that, the more my world seems to come together.”)

his music

Bieber love. One Time.

a sweet song from Train

"who are we fooling" - brooke fraser

enjoying everything about this song: lyrics, vocals, pacing, piano. calming rainy/snowy day tune.

"fire & dynamite" - drew & ellie holcomb - new video

so much joyful energy :)
