Mas Que Nada

Mas Que Nada - Sergio Mendes + Brasil 66
Gathering strength to clean this dojo up and cook some food before people arrive. Mas que nada.

Crimson and bare as I stand, yours completely

Cold - Aqualung & Lucy Schwartz
People! And all you Twilight-sceptics, I think I've said this before but, if not for the drama in itself, see the Twilight-movies for the music's sake. The soundtracks are scarily good! I mean just listen to this piece - beautiful and sad, but beautiful

Birdy.Birdy.Birdy.

Okay, so I've looked into the girl a bit more. She's only 15 which I find hard to grasp, and there's a song she's done even better than Skinny Love(!) in my opinion. Also a cover.


The A Team - Birdy (Ed Sheeran Cover)

She recently released her first album and I've only had the time to listen to one of her own songs, but that one is pretty good. Another thing I've noticed is that she has a Paolo Nutini-like tone to her voice - maybe that's what makes it so good?



People Help The People - Birdy

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

Skinny Love - Birdy (Cover)
I was going to bring up another theme this evening but I thought this song felt a bit more appropriate considering my current state of mind. I am so darn sleepy! But I am also in a very cosy mood meaning, I can feel christmas approaching, and the snow, and the need for candles and tiny little shimmering lights making me feel warm under my blanket. I feel pretty slow, because I am sure most of you know this already, but I recently discovered this cover version of a song that is very dear to me. I don't know why, but it feels like the song gets me in stead of the other way around, which is pretty special. Okay, I'll lay off the writing now, listen and enjoy. And light a candle, it's like therapy - I promise! 

Oh, and for you who haven't heard the actual version (which really is the best) type in Bon Iver now, now, now!
