Music I love.

In no particular order...


1. Owl City~
Everything about Adam Young's music puts me in a state of utter bliss. I just adore listening to his voice, and all the techno-y sounds, the keyboard, the soft strum of guitars and pianos... he just combines so much different music into so many different amazing songs. Each holds something promising that makes me smile. Whenever I'm feeling down, or even feeling blissfully happy, and just want to dance, Owl City is the first thing I turn to. Not to mention, the lyrics are perfectly poetic and breath-taking. Adam Young is in fact on my list of people to meet/hug/get an autograph of. :)

2. Lights~
More techno. I love her album "The Listening"... every song describes how I feel or have felt at one time or another, and I love songs that do that. It's really fantastic. Valerie Poxleitner's voice and lyrics are wonderful.

3. Ellie Goulding~
She is a combination of a beautiful voice and fantastic instrumentals. I love every bit of her music, lyrics and all. They bring back memories and stories that always unfold inside my head... I find her music to also be something to listen to when I am in a "mood". Electronic+acoustic rebounded. It's splendid. :)

4. Breanne Duren~
Breanne often sings in Owl City songs, which is, in my opinion, the PERFECT combo. She just adds the perfect amount of feminine voice and strength, and side by side with Adam it is PERFECTION. Her music on her own is just as pretty, with her soft, childlike voice and happy instrumentals. Her songs make me feel in love when I don't even have anyone to love in that way ^.^ (if that made any sense...)

5. Regina Spektor~
Taking a step away from my favorite electronic/techno singers, and heading towards alternative. Regina Spektor is seriously one of the top ten people I must meet before I die. She is fantastic in every way-- her beautiful personality, gorgeous voice, lovely lyrics and music. Every ounce of her music is liquid gold. I love it. She's definitely on my list.    Her music really keeps me grounded and whole; it's a wonderful feeling, especially when I need it.

6. Coldplay~
Coldplay is another band I could NEVER get sick of. Every song brings something new, exciting and lovely to the eardrums and my soul. I love their instrumentals, and his voice. It picks me up and sweeps me off my feet, into new worlds and exciting stories. I just love it. I must see them in concert some day. :)

7. Annie Lennox~
To this day, her voice rings out like a call to sing and dance, bringing everyone together. I adore her music, especially her voice. I listen to Annie Lennox when I am in a certain "in between" mood, where I'm not entirely sure what I want to listen to, but I want to be brought back to Earth, in some sense.


I think that's it for now...
Let me know what you think, and what bands/singers you like :)
Whatever music you listen to, if it makes you feel alive, happy, or just better in general, LISTEN TO IT. And don't let anyone change your opinions about it, 'cause that's one of the fantastic things about music. There's so many different kinds, you can listen to WHATEVER YOU WANT.

Domenica | a poem

  Venice is paradise in summer: Lovers lay in gondolas under a lemon sun, sprawling on top of embroidered pillows and celestial dreams. Stress undresses itself on the boardwalk, leaving nothing but relaxed Venetians, who know better than to mask nature’s path. Domenica Rosa, you were there once, weren’t you? As a child, perhaps, exploring the damp stones with your violet eyes and young bones. And were you delighted? Or perhaps, like me, you kept your soul at home, safe and sound from wet ground and deep inside a catacomb carved by kitchen knives. Even so, Domenica, dear grandmother goddess of stars, stripes and pizzelles, listen to me. Hear my voice and embrace me again, for I must learn how to be as you once were: A mother weathered well for loving, a lover lost but never abandoned, a woman like Auntie Mame, with a tasteful tongue for storytelling, wrapped in nostalgia.

Sleepy Ramblings Regarding Strange Habits of Mine

I had this realization recently that I've been walking through life on my tiptoes. Literally and figuratively. I thought it was only something I did when I was little, something that disappeared when I got older. But that didn't seem to be the case. Along with using an incredibly passive voice quite frequently ( ha ha ), I continued tip-toeing around the house and it completely escaped my notice until my mom pointed it out to me. Then it began bothering me. I began noticing other strange habits of mine... For instance: biting my lips till they're rather raw, bouncing my feet while sitting, chewing my nails in my sleep ( though that usually only happens when I'm super stressed )... There's probably more. And they annoy me to no avail. I made a plan recently ( or perhaps a feeble attempt ) to stop some/all of these ridiculous habits. Especially the tip toe thing. I'm going to start walking heel-toe again. And then I thought: you know what? I nee

Socks | poem

For our birthdays, we exchanged socks like promises: I’ll protect you if you protect me . But we hated confinement, so often, we shed our socks and raced through hallways, puddles, rivers — more than common ground. We broke free of simplicity—spilled over walls like nail polish, screamed like firing guns, and ate our fill of rainclouds. For your birthday, I wear your socks, slip, fall, and think: I’ll get up for you if you get up for me.
