Everyday It Will Rain

I am really liking the new Bruno Mars song "It Will Rain" for the Breaking Dawn movie soundtrack. Not only am I excited for the movie ( I have no shame in admitting this) but I think the song is beautiful.

I personally really like Bruno Mars. He has a soulful, melodic voice that emulates the styles of the 50's and 60's when there were Doo Wop groups. I love that era of music and really enjoy how harmonizing and acapella singing was emphasized back then. Bruno brings that into his music present day, so it makes it obvious that he really does have a wonderful voice. I have seen him in concert before and I have to say he is pretty amazing...and short too lol.

Anyway, the song is supposed to be about the dark side of love. As we all know, love is not all butterflies and roses. There are times where we go places in our heads that brings out the most shameful types of behavior in us. This song is about figuring out what to do with yourself when your love walks away. You lose yourself in someone else and when that person is no longer there, you dont even remember who you are without them anymore. I am thinking this is from Jacob's point of view when Bella marries Edward and he realizes there is no longer a possibility of anything happening between him and Bella.

Here is a link to the song because for some reason, I cant paste the video on here: It Will Rain

Dear Photograph

Just wanted to share this lovely website I stumbled upon, which I needed to share. Its called "Dear Photograph" and it's basically people taking a picture of a picture taken in the same location at a different time.

So for example, people take pictures from their childhood at a park, then they go back to that same park years later and they line the picture up in the same exact location they were when they took the picture in their childhood, then they take a picture of that. Then they write a message about the picture and all the messages start with Dear photograph.

It sounds a little complicated but if you have the time, please check it out. It is a truly beautiful site and there are some really touching and creative pictures there. Some bought tears to my eyes with how touching they are. Here is the link - Dear Photograph and below is an example:

Ivory Lines Lead...

What I have been feeling as of late is a rare thing, for me at least. I feel light as air..the way whipped egg whites that have peaked would feel. The way chocolate mousse feels. The way the foam at the top of my mocha latte at Starbucks feels. The way a light summer breeze that gently sways dandelion bits feels. The way dust particles floating in the sunlight feel.

I never knew that letting go of a mental burden would manifest itself physically, but it has...and it feels so FREE.
