( good ) music is one thing that i am passionate about. there is a song that can relate to any of life's excitements + sorrows. we've all discovered those songs that speak directly into our lives at a seemingly perfect time. i love how music comes with so many senses - the feeling of goosebumps + the butterflies that come when a piece of music so beautiful is found. i love how songs can so clearly bring back memories lost in time. music is also a way to worship - a way to draw near to Him. this is why i take such delight in finding good music that speaks to me. music, at it's core, is a poem - a piece of writing exquisitelycrafted and chiseled into a story that is beautiful to the ears. ( excluding that junk on the radio haha. sorry, but not sorry, pop fans. ) some of my favourites at the moment are :
t h e c i v i l w a r s - (well, let me say, their entire new album has been on repeat lately. if you don't have it, buy it.) i've been loving Tell Mama, I Had Me a Girl and Same Old Same Old.
e v e n i n g h y m s - you and jake
k i n g s k a l e i d o s c o p e - jesus paid it all
d a v i d r a m i r e z - paper thin
a r k e l l s - on paper ( acoustic version )
j o s h m h i r e - thomas, my bride ( if you are familiar with the lovely Kinsey, from Sincerely Kinsey, this is her husband + he makes rad music - listen to it here )
d a u g h t e r - smother, still
s h a w n m c d o n a l d - beautiful, burning much love, rach
me and emily took a little weekend getaway to one of our favourite cities. it excites me so to be in a new place - even if its only a few hours away from home. scouting out the best place to eat the most important meal of the day ( breakfast, of course! ), eating until our stomachs hurt, getting lost + hoping that taking every left turn will lead to our destination, rummaging through quirky little stores, letting our minds wonder into the future + pooling creative ideas over a cup of strong coffee, for me, and earl grey for her. this is my ( very ) happy place.
much love, rach
we may have waited nearly 2 hours, but OEB certainly did not disappoint!
( PB+J hotdot from Tubby Dog! Sounds a little strange, but let me tell you, it was amazing! Who would've thought?! )
