Song of the week

Hello, Everyone:

Some days are just really long...

Some weeks are just really long...

And during those sorts of times I have some music that I refer to as my 'soul' music. It's the music that I connect to the most, that makes me feel like my very soul is touched by music.

There's one song in particular that I've been very into lately. It's in Italian (Okay fine. It's an Il Volo song...) and I listened to it while I read the English translation and I sort of fell in love with it.

I've sat her for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to make columns so that I could have the English and Italian side by side...
Alas and alack, blogger doesn't have that feature. Or I'm just to dense to figure it out.

So you'll have to settle with just the English translation while you listen to the Italian. Capisce?

(Oh yeah, and the music video is kinda purdy. :)
I'm here
Look at me
Me with you, I feel that
There's no other way that isn't ours
It's a breath with no ending

I'll be there if you want
If you'll be in danger
I'll protect you
From the evil you'll witness
I'll be there for you

I'm here
Live me
Every day
Until the end

I am a rather hopeless romantic I think. These lyrics are such a perfect description of marriage to me. I love how this song is kind of a 'no matter what, we're going to get through it together' sort of thing. 



There's never another way
That is not ours
The emotion between us
Has no end

I'll be there if you want
If you'll be in danger
I'll protect you
From the evil you'll witness
I'll be there for you

To defend your mistakes
Don't let the world change you
No, I'll fight for you
No, I'll be there for you

I'm here, I'll be there

I'll be there if you want
You'll see it will be beautiful
I'll protect you
From the evil you'll witness
I'll be there for you
I'm here
Live me

So yeah. This song gives me all the feels. All dem. On my more emotional days, I may or may not get a bit teary. (Though I've been known to get teary over lots of things, including lame motivational quotes so... )

Was this post a bit sappy? Well yes, yes it was. But I don't care!

Let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it? Come on! Talk music with me!

God Bless,
Amy

We are Love

Moonlight draws your colors in the dawn
While the sound of silence in the wind feels
Like an empty song

This seemed like an appropriate song to head back into the blogging world with. Mostly because they're currently the lyrics on my new header and I want y'all to have them in context. :)


It's no secret that I'm the tiniest bit obsessed with Il Volo....Oh wait. I haven't blogged in ages and there's no way for you to know that. So it probably is a bit of a secret!
Well, stick around, my friend, it won't be for long!

As the rain begins to fall down
Like a million tears
And the heaven shining
Through the clouds, girl
I can feel you here

There really isn't an Il Volo song that I don't like, but this song just grew on me. I listened to it  the first time like, "Ah, that's so pretty!" but it did get a little lost in the shuffle (literally. My mp3 shuffle) of my top ten Il Volo songs. Top Fifteen? Twenty? 
Never mind that. Skip (Look at all these so not intentional puns!) *Ahem*...skip to me listening to it again. And again and again and again. 


Don't you ever lose me
I could never lose you
Can't you feel?
We are love
Like the Earth and ocean
We're the same devotion you and me
We are love

I love the lyrics so much! They melt my lil' heart like an ice cube in direct sunlight. Puddles, people. Puddles.
Not convinced yet? 

Sunlight burning deep into the eyes
And it blinds the sadness of a tear so
We can see the skies

When you're ever feeling lonely
And life just gets you down
Hear the beating whispers of my heart
I know you've come around

Oh, and this song has the fabulous bonus of a really nice music video. Which you absolutely must watch, if for no other reason that to have little Italians with incredible eyes stare soulfully at you. 

I will always need you
If you ever need me, can't you see?
We are love
Like the Earth and ocean
We're the same devotion you and me
We are love

Lift you hands, let's your feelings rise
We're like a river flowing to the sea
You and me



Yeah, so...
This music...It's silly to say it makes me feel safe. But it does! 

What did you think? Love it, hate it? 
Do you have any music that makes you  feel safe? Come on, talk music with me!

God Bless,
Amy

Nothingness

Hello, Everyone.

I can't think of a good post. Not at all.

Nothing.

Nada.


I have something cool in the works which I will be springing on you in the near future. But today is unfortunately not that day!

Today is the day where I stare at my  laptop in great dislike and tap my keys repeatedly.

But since the big old V-day is coming up, and since this is likely my only 'free' time for the rest of this week, what with working at a flower shop and all, I wanted to pop up and say hi to you all. *Waves un-enthusiastically*

Hi.

I'm sitting here, listening to A Tale of Two Cities (which is a really good musical, btw) and thinking about making crepes and doing a round on my heavy bag before I get cozy on the couch.



Anyway.

This song has been my thing this last week or two. It just makes me feel very...peaceful?

*Nods*

Yes. Peaceful.

Because, number one, It's Josh Groban! 
And number two it's beautiful.
And number three, I find it very relatable. :)

Plus, I made a doodle-y thing of my favorite lyrics. So there.



Ta-ta. I promise a really post is coming soon. 

God Bless!

Song of the Week.

Hello, All!

IT'S ONLY A WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

To commemorate how freakin' exciting this is, I am going to post a song............

I suppose you probably guessed that from the title of the post. 

It was fairly obvious.

*Shrug*

This song has been a lot more a favorite of mine this year than it's been before. Isn't it funny how you can know a song for ages, and then suddenly you relate to it more, or for whatever reason you appreciate it more, and then it's like hearing it for the first time. I love that about music. It always manages to grow up with you.

 It's not a super Christmas-y song, I suppose. It's pretty much a sadder, prettier version of I'll be Home for Chrismtas. It makes me feel all nostalgic and fluttery inside. Happy and sad, you know what I mean?



~All With You~
On the wind the snow is drifting
Dances 'round my weary feet
Faraway a bell is ringing
Echoes through the empty streets
Oh, I can see you
I can still play make believe
Oh, I can feel you near me
I'll be sending a thousand kisses
I am far but I am all with you




On the night the air is bracing
Lights are gracing every street
I can hear the children singing
Midnight bringing hopes of peace

Oh, I can see you
I can still play make believe
Oh, I can feel you near me

I'll be sending you a thousand kisses
I am far but I am all with
I'll be sending a thousand wishes
Know on Christmas I am all with you

I'll be sending you a thousand kisses
I am far but I am all with
I'll be sending a thousand wishes

Know on Christmas I am all with you.


Well, there's that. Isn't it pretty? 

God Bless!

Song of the week

Hello everybody!

Happy Wed-nes-day! (In my best Winnie the Pooh voice.)

So, lately my sister and I have been watching a show called Flashpoint.
==

I'm only a few episodes in, (Seven, to be exact) but so far it's been squeaky clean and really impressively good. I love it.
The cast is awesome, the actors nail their rolls, and the tiny girl cop is cool. I don't object to her at all. Which is so nice. She's just cute and brave and good at her job. And tiny.

You want to see a trailer? 
Yeah... you really do. 
Trust me.



It's really nice because the show takes the time to highlight all the members of the team and there really isn't one main character. 

I can't vouch for the whole five season series yet, (Give me a few days. lol) but so far it's been awesome.

Anyway, the point of this post is, at the end of every episode, when the situation is under control and everything is summing up, they play a song. And so far I've like every one I've heard. 

Especially this one.

And I will watch you disappear
From my fortress over here
And I will never understand
Every heart's a foreign land

And I'm so afraid to, so afraid to
Love you


And I will turn my eyes away
From the harsh light of your day
And I have slept through pouring rain
It was all that kept me sane

And I'm so afraid to, so afraid to
Love you

And I have drawn lines in the sand
To remind us where we stand
And I build castles while you thirst
They'll fall down but you'll fall first

And I'm so afraid to, so afraid to
Love you
Love you
Love you


That's all for now, my fellow ......people... Heroes? Humans?
MINIONS! *Nods*

God Bless!

Song of the week

I've been overdosing on music again. My poor sisters...

I'm like, "Listen to this twelve minute opera aria. Ssshhhh, you'll love it!"

"Hey, what do you think of these three country songs?"

"I can't get enough of this Josh Groban song"

"Let's listen to every musical we own."

"Hey, Remember that 70's song Dad used to listen to? .....I love that song."


I'm serious, That was me last night. And it's not enough to listen to the music. I sing along to pretty much every part I can manage. Including instrumental solos.
You guys, I can whistle like a canary. Obviously that's a skill I must put to good use.

................................

No. This story isn't going anywhere. I just thought I'd share.

The real question is, with all the music I've been listening to, which one should I post?

I'll refrain from posting twelve minute opera arias. I realize they're an acquired taste.

How 'bout Crying? 

Even though my introduction to this song was a story my friend told me about a guy that sang it at a karaoke bar. He had a lisp. He couldn't saying his R's. He sang, "Cwying." And he thought he was the next Elvis and he really sang it with confidence. "CWY-I-I-I-ING! (Epic hip thrust) Over YOUUUU!".....

And somehow, I still like this song.



I need to finish my fourth cup of coffee now and get ready for work. 

Yes, I did say fourth cup of coffee. It's one of those mornings. I am now highly caffeinated and ready for anything. *vibrates knowing*

Hey, check out this guy. 

He has moves. And I have ...no moves. 
Where does one go to learn stuff like that?
Youtube?
The Military?
How do you practice that move?


God Bless!

Song of the Week~

What's up, People! Hey look it's been...almost less than a week since my last post.

Okay, fine. It's been a week. But that's not too bad, right? *Points gun meaningfully* Right?

I feel the need to ramble a bit. Deal.

I wish I owned a camera. I should just buy one. But that's probably not going to happen all that soon. Because I have nerve issues with spending money. Even my own. *Shurgs*

It keeps looking like it's going to rain. And I get all excited and sit there waiting hopefully. Then the sun wins out and the clouds slide off to do their thing elsewhere.
I'm a sun-lover. But some rain to wash away all the pollen would be great.

I finally got around to planting flowers in my yard. I feel very accomplished.

I am hoping to do some yard work after my other work tomorrow. Go me.

After this post I'm going to go eat some sherbet-ish ice cream-ish stuff that I made. And maybe watch psych. Cause I bought season EIGHT!
Amazon knows me so well. It sent me an email telling me that psych was 70% percent off. 70%!!! And it's mine now.

Alright. I listened to this song for years and spent all that time thinking it was called, Last first kiss. But it's not. It's called Inevitable. I'm still not sure why.
The first time I heard it was when my friend showed me a BBC Robin Hood music video to it. I sort of fell in love with it. Even though I've never watched the BBC Robin Hood. (Should I? It looks great but I think it might break me heart. What do you all think?)
I tried to find the same video, but since that was years ago, it doesn't seem to exist anymore.
So here's a lyric video instead.



Amazing how life turns out the way that it does
We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love

I want to break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives
Is it over now, hey, hey, is it over now?

I want to be your last first kiss that you'll ever have
I want to be your last first kiss

Those lyrics! Love them. :) 

See you later and all that. Remember that sherbet-ish ice cream-ish stuff I made? I'm gonna go eat it now. 

God Bless!

Song of the week

Hi there, everyone! *Waves cheerily*

The special for tonight: Everything I do. 

I love this song. It's a perfect in-the-car-with-the-windows-down song.

Disclaimer number one: The guy has a weird sort of voice, kind of rough and husky. So don't be surprised when you click play. Just go with it. List to the words. Preferably with your eyes closes, cause we all know that makes the music so much better, right?

Disclaimer number two: Yes I am aware this song came out in in the nineties and is as old as I am... a few months older, actually. I bet most of you have heard it before. If not you are even more behind the times (and I mean way behind the times) than I am.

Disclaimer number three: I'm very tired, and even though this is a really skimpy post, it's all I've got for you tonight. Deal with it. ;)

Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me.
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more.

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for.
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you.



Look into your heart – you will find
There's nothin' there to hide.
Take me as I am, take my life.
I would give it all, I would sacrifice.

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you, oh, yeah.

Yeah, I would fight for you, I'd lie for you,
Walk the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you.

You know it's true:
Everything I do, oh, I do it for you.

Good night! I'll see you 'round~

God Bless

Song of the Week.

For some reason I'm in a bit of a boxer/fighter mood lately. This happens to me sometimes. 
I just want to watch really good action movies with lots of awesome fighting scenes and play with my heavy bag until my arms are ready to fall off.
(I know it's not the most feminine thing in the world, but it's fantastic for relieving stress. *Nods knowingly*)

Anyway, I have literally been singing the last verse of this song all day long. It's my favorite part of the whole song.

The Boxer is one of those songs that I only listen to sometimes, (though it comes on at my work pretty frequently) and it reminds me of...well, fighters mostly. Go figure.
And since I'm in that mood, I went through and found all my favorite fighters and put them to the song.

I don't usually do post that are this graphically intensive. I apologize in advance for how long this might take to load. *wink*

So, press play and scroll, okay?



~The Boxer~
I am just a poor boy
Though my story seldom told

I squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears
What he wants to hear
And disregards the rest


When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway stations running scared

Laying low seeking out the poor quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers

Just a come on
From the girl on seventh avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Then I'm laying down my winter clothes

And wishing I was home-- going home

Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me, leading me going home

In the clearing stands a boxer 
Source

And a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down

And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame

I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains



I hope you guys enjoyed that. If not, I totally did, and since it's my blog, that's the important thing, right? *Grin*

Goodnight, and God Bless!
Amy

Tra-laa, It's May! The lusty month of May!

I didn't want to start this post with my customary, "Hello, peoples!" but I can't think of any other way to get this thing going, so...


Hello Peoples!

Life is just awesome, you know that? Life is such a wonderful, amazing thing! And yes, that's my Saturday voice talking. *Grin* 

I know I post pictures of flowers kind of a lot and I'm sure that must get boring. But really, flowers are so fun to photograph!

*Pssst* Garden roses = prettiest roses ever.

I haven't shared any of my doodles at all lately. That's partly because I didn't have a computer for a while, partly because I haven't been doodling all that much lately and partly because I'm too lazy to take pictures of my doodles. 

But today just felt like the day. Don't get too excited. They're nothing all that special. 

I tend to write out different quotes that I like, especially when I'm at work and need little happy reminder. Then I'll glue them in my journal later if I like them. 

This quote has been floating around in my mind a lot lately. 

I just like like the overall feel of this picture. I'm not sure why. It's really scribbley and slap-dash, but I like it. I will say it's better in real life when paper grain isn't so accentuated. *Nods.* And you're all like, "Suuuure..."


Doesn't it look kind of cozy? It makes me want to buy a coffee and sit in a little cafe and write.

This picture I sort of love. It was one of those that just kind of came together for me, which almost never happens. (Which is another reason I don't post doodles very often :) I'm thinking about using color pencils on it at some point and seeing what happens then. I don't know. That's scary.


And this picture leads me perfectly into my Song of the Week! I planned that. Cause I'm awesome.

~Song of the Week~

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

I can't remember if I've posted this song before and I'm feeling too lazy to check, but if I did oh well. You get it again. But a different version.


So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?

It's one of those songs that's just really fun to sing and, depending on my mood, really relatable...Well. Relatable-ish. I'm not such a sad, depressed person. :) But I sometimes like to act my music out and this song is perfect for that, too.

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?


I've heard quite a few version of this song and I like quite a few versions of this song. Samantha Barks does a really good one, and Sarah Brightman's is really fun to sing to when I'm warmed up and feeling good about my high notes. :) 

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now.



I just heard this version for the first time today and I really like it. Her voice is really pretty. 

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?



Toodles! I've got things to do and coffee to drink! 

God Bless~

Song of the week/Happy things.

Today was a good sort of day. In fact, it was great! 

I had to take my midterm test for my recording class. Since the test was the day before Valentine's Day, and because there was no way in you-know-where that I could get off work early enough to take the test, the teacher very kindly scheduled a day for me to slip in and take it. He is awesome. 
So I went, with trembling hands and a stomach full of butterflies, to take the test and...and...Well golly look!

To be honest, the class isn't all that hard and the teacher is really good...so it's not all that impressive. But it made my day! 

I was able to get to the library, even if it was only for twenty minutes. I checked out some real thrillers.


Thanks to a particularly good episode of White Collar, (Identity Crisses--season 4, if you're wondering.) I have been really interested in ciphers and codes again. It's an on-again, off-again sort of hobby. I was pretty obsessed for a while when I was a kid. 
And again in ninth grade when I started researching the spies of the American Revolution. :) I think that's what really kindled the spark. You say, "Culper Spy Ring" and I go, "Yesssssss....Go on."

Which reminds me. This show had better be as awesome as I'm hoping it'll be. It's Jamie Bell AND the American Revolution! I'm in history heaven! Or I will be if it's done well.

Jamie Bell and the American Revolution! *Gaaaah!*

Filmmaking for dummies....that was a whim. 

I have the whole day off on Friday, so I'm planning on going to the library for a good chunk of the day. I need some fiction in my life. Anyone have some suggestions? I'm in the mood for anything, really. As long as it's gripping.

There are a few movies that I've been meaning to do reviews on and I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Now You See Me has been added to the list. It was really good! I think it might have been even better the second time I watched it. So, yeah. Stayed tuned for some movie reviews in the near-ish future.


Song of the Week.

This song has been growing  on my for a while and I've finally decided that I quite love it.  Yes, I Won't Give Up, by Jason Mraz. I'm always that person that loves stuff way after it is the new best thing. I'm not sure why that is.

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I really love the original version of this song. But the first time I payed any real attention to it was with this video. I think Peter Hollens is a very talented fellow and I love his voice. So I decided to share his version instead.


Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

I don't know. I find the A Capella so amazingly talented. Plus, I just think he's fun to watch sing. He's so...earnest. Like he's singing straight to your soul. lol. 

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I've had this song stuck in my head all day! I think posting like this might have helped. At least now I know all the lyrics. 

God Bless~

February Song

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes

Winter finally came back to my little corner of the world. We had one snow storm way-back-when and that was all the skies graced us with  for a long time. The weather was warm and rather spring-like through half of December and all of January. That is completely weird for this area. I was rather delighted when the weather decided to remind us that it is winter and not to forget what shovels are used for. 

Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life


I decided, even though it's pretty dang cold out side, to take a walk down to the lake and get some fresh air. It was totally worth it. 


And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day


It was the sort of walk where everything is wild and beautiful. Where every snow-laden tree and wave on the water yells to the sky, "Who is the Great God like our God?" The sort of day that makes you wonder how anyone can take a look around them and still not believe in God.  


Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes



And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world

I was planning on doing a different song today. But this song was perfect for my mood and for these pictures, (I think so, anyway. :) so I'll do that other song later. 


I'm not great at taking selfies. I was much happier than I look in this picture, I promise you.


Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes


This music video is so beautiful. You should totally press play!

Other thank taking a walk and doing some cleaning, today is a 'tea and a book' day. I'm re-reading the Attolia series and I love them just as much this time as I did the first time. I can't wait until the author comes out with the next book. 






Tea and pumpkin bread. I'd give you the recipe I used, but the loaf turn out a little...odd, so I think I'll just keep the recipe to myself. *Grin*


The tea almost looks more like a latte in this picture...but it's tea. British-style tea. I can give you the 'recipe' for that, if you'd like. 

You need a black tea. I recommend Tetley Tea. 
A teaspoon-ish of sugar or honey.
About 2-3 tablespoons of milk.

Put the milk and sugar/honey in the bottom of a cup with a tea bag. Boil water. Fill your cup with boiled water. Let the tea steep until it's as dark as you like. Remove tea bag. :)
 Now that is the type of tea you'll get in Britain. Seriously, if you order tea in the UK, that's what you'll most likely be served. And it is delicious. *Smile*

Until next time, my wonderful people!

God Bless,
Amy

Ramblings

Hello all~

As you can see, I'm doing rather splendidly with my two posts a week thing. Dedication is my middle name.
Oh but really, I will work it out at some point and there will be two posts a week around here sometime in the near future.

Aye well.

I'm feeling rather virtuous writing this post. I could have just thrown my hands up in despair, settled down with my book and ignored the internet. But here I am! As I said, dedication is my middle name. *Snicker*

I just re-watched the first Hobbit movie this evening with my family. It was great fun. 
I'd only seen it once in theaters and it was long over-due. Can you believe that? I'd only watch the The Unexpected Journey once! How did that happen?

Oh and my sisters and I finally got the chance to watch The Empty Hearse and I LOVED it!
Tomorrow we shall watch the other two, if things work out according to our plans. *Fingers crossed*
Enough about that, though. I will gush about Sherlock in a post all its own.

For now I'm moving on to music.

Song of the Week

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

This is such a pretty song. The lyrics are beautiful and a bit sad...and a bit hopeful. I really go for the sad-hopeful combo. :) I feel like sad things should have a bit of hope to them. 

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

Two of my sisters and myself have worked out the arrangement of this version-ish and have quite a lot of fun singing it. Three part harmony is exciting! (Spoken like a true music nerd. lol) We did some singing earlier today since we are finally getting our voices back after this extremely lingering cold. We warbled away for a good hour or so before the rest of the family got impatient for the Hobbit and we had to stop. We hadn't sung this song for a while, so we were a little rusty, and after going over it a couple of times, I wanted to listen to it for real. Hence you all get to hear it too. *Smile*

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

So here, my favorite version of The Rose. Enjoy.


Goodnight! God Bless.
