Honest to blog!











Haven’t posted in a while.  Been very busy.  School is currently kicking my butt.  Here is a song from A Fine Frenzy, if you haven’t already listened to this girls amazing voice.  This song is for you.  It’s one of my favorites, and it’s very sad and yet, calming.  :)

Alright.  Enjoy!

I have been extremely busy this week, haven’t had any time to post! I am working on my history class right now, taking a short break before getting back to more outlines. Just wanted to make a quick update.

I have found my colored waxed hemp :) It makes me so happy! I made a few bracelets and necklaces this week. I must say, they look amazing. I am improving and I love that I can see the progress. I also got the COOLEST bracelet as a late birthday present today. It is the KILLOLA USB bracelet. The bracelet is made by www.aderra.net and it contains the brand new Killola CD [I am the messer] and a few videos and pictures! I love it so so much. I do think that USB bracelets could…and should be a big hit with bigger named bands. They are a great way to promote a CD and they are just fun all around.

Killola is the band I want you guys to hear. Lisa has a very interesting voice and their music just makes you want to get up and dance! This is one of my favorite songs, on acoustic.

and here is a music video :]



{June 20, 2008}   David Sides and his piano

This guy is wonderful to listen to. He has turned all these popular songs, anything from hip hop to rock, into calming piano. Not usually what I listen to, but I must make an exception for this guy. Listen to him yourself and you’ll understand!

In the End – Linkin Park

Don’t Matter – Akon



Although I couldn’t find much of their original stuff on Youtube, they have it on their myspace. They have released 3 albums, ‘All you’re meant to be’ was just released in March. Their sound reminds me a little of the Fray. They have a ton of covers on youtube, one of my favorites is below.

{June 18, 2008}   Julia Nunes and her Ukulele

ahhh. An instrument I had never thought of as much fun. Julia Nunes has a wonderful personality and stays connected with many of her fans. She plays the ukulele, guitar, melodica, the tissue box, an occasional slinky and she sings! She also has a few duets in her youtube account. Her CD ‘left right wrong’ is available for saaale. It’s a must buy :) I’ve included one of my favorite covers, and one of my favorite originals. She’s been featured on youtube for her songs ‘into the sunshine’ & ‘balloons’ & toured with Ben Folds. Go find your own favorites, you’re sure to fall in love.

Woe – Say Anything Cover

Roles Reversed [original]

Lyrics:

my ear can’t hold a pencil and my mind can’t keep a thought
and my arms aren’t near strong enough to hold the shit i got
but stop feeling sorry for me that’s great you got your sanity but apologies are not what i need
i’m going out
to get my mind off you
i’ll have a drink or two

i know this might be rough on you dont worry i’ve been in your shoes, we’ve only got a friend to loose
this sucks, i think you know it too
the thrill of the chase caught up with me
they paid me back karmically
either i can’t stand them or they dont want me
what do you think it means

i’m going out
to get my mind off you
i’ll have a drink or two

cross my heart cross my eyes cross my fingers hope to die
burry me with the friends i’ve lost
they say that pain is the cost of love
(no one said this would be easy)

I knew it had to happen soon just sucks it had to be with you
the songs that i once sang for you
i still sing them though the meaning’s new
roles reversed and then press play
can’t think of any thing to say
but how many times can one heart break
(how many pictures did we take)

i’m going out
to get my mind off you
i’ll have a drink or two

i used these chords once before an unfinished love song
cause i adored a boy
but not any more



{June 17, 2008}   Kina Grannis

I am a huge fan of John Mayer, I was watching a few covers and this one caught my eye. Her name is Kina Grannis. I know not everyone enjoys covers very much, so I also included one of her original songs. Check her out!

Strong Enough [original song]

Lyrics:

Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I’m feeling an echo inside my chest
I’ve a heart beating patiently along
Waiting for the other half of its song

And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying inconsistencies
As you fall uneasily to your knees

No, it’s not enough
Don’t touch my hand and call it love
If you can’t hold it tight tonight
If you’re not strong enough

I’m not blind to what you’re doing here
Make me feel like I’m special, but my dear
I have seen through a weakness in your eyes
You don’t know it but you’re telling me lies

You will soon wake to see
There is no heart in anything you say to me
Thought we’d found a harmony
A perfect match of melodies
But if you listen closely now, I’ve been singing all alone

No, it’s not enough
Don’t touch my hand and call it love
If you can’t hold it tight tonight
If you’re not strong enough
