Happy New Year.

Raise Today - Peasant

I love this song -- I hope you do, too.

Lyrics: 

What is there missing from me that I see in you?

What can I say? 

What can I do for you?

I find myself trying each day, I want to grow up.

What do I know? 

Seems that I can't force feeling...

Because everything is dancing alone,

Circling that I cannot see.

And all the time slipping away.

You try to remember the days,

And gathering all the pictures we took.

Together and apart we will die, 

Because everything is dancing alone.

Just trying to stay on the go.

I find myself reaching to grab you away.

Feelings today...

Don't look away from me.

Holding our hands out in the crowd every day,

Losing the way.

No more to know we will stay,

Because everything is dancing alone,

Circling that I cannot see.

And all the time everything is slipping away.

You try to remember the days,

And gathering all the pictures we took.

Together and apart we will die,

Because everything is dancing alone.

Just trying to stay on the go.

Trouble is a Friend - Lenka

Trouble Is A Friend

Kitty in a backpack (she crawled in on her own!)

Why, hello there...

...don't mind me, just chillin' here in a backpack...

...busy being cute.

Infectious

That's Not My Name

The Ting Tings

Just a song I like -- again, I have no idea why the album art works.  I've done the same thing as I always do, yet it seems to be hit or miss with it.  

Bon Iver

I know I've posted about Bon Iver before, but I finally got around to downloading the music, so here's to sharing it. :)

Do you like coffee?

And do you like gingerbread cookies?  You should get this coffee-- I mean it.  It is delicious.

Trader Joe's Gingerbread Coffee

I had a sample of this at two local TJ locations and became infatuated, then I bought a can and have been in love since.  I don't drink a lot of frou frou drinks from Starbucks or other places anymore because they are too sweet for me, but I love that this is just a coffee that I brew and I can add as much (or as little) sugar and cream as I want.  Delicious.  

As it states, it is "coffee spiked with real ginger, cinnamon and cloves."  Yum.  And those "spikes" are actual pieces in the coffee, not flavoring just the beans, so you see the bits before you grind!  

Elliott Smith - Waltz #2

Waltz #2

Elliott Smith

Haven't listened to Elliott Smith in at least a year and I decided to today and I fell in love all over again.  

(Side note:  I don't know why the album art worked this time?)

World Spins Madly On by The Weepies

World Spins Madly On

I listened to Deb Talan years and years ago before she became the other half of The Weepies -- love her voice, although I understand that she's not for everyone.  I just love this song...makes me feel melancholy.

Lykke Li "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

This video is available as a free download on iTunes -- you should go and get it!  It's such a cool song and video!
