[mi morena]


I saw you dancing in the rain,
Holy water, shining like a silver flame.
Come like a ghost,
I will watch you dance alone
Mi Morena, you're the light within my soul...

music

Especially because of dancing, music has become my heart and soul lately--it's my lifeblood.  Ever since I can remember, I've been singing something (not that I can really sing, but I can't help it sometimes...) or playing something or listening to something.  More or less, it's an escape.  It takes me to wherever and whatever memory that song has connected with it for me.  It's kind of amazing how my musical taste has changed over the years... whenever something really big happens in my life, I seem to start listening to a new kind of music.  And really other than rap or CCM, I'll listen to just about anything, or at least give it a try.  It's easy to relate to almost anyone then... music truly does connects us all.

 

So yesterday, when I discovered some insanely amazing music, it put me in a euphoric state almost like those I get in after a really amazing night of dancing.  Two song in particularly I fell in love with instantly.  One is The Ocean by Mae, and the other is Dismantle. Repair. by Anberlin.  And I finally listened to Existentialism on Prom Night by Straylight Run.  And I love it too.  {[Anna Kate -- thanks for suggesting it, I took far too long to actually listen to it.]}

 

The poor library must think I'm nuts.  I have almost 100 CDs on hold there now.  Hehe.  Another artist very worth the mention really quickly is jazz singer and pianist Peter Cincotti.  He's like... Harry Connick Jr.  A completely different take on almost every song he records... I love it!

 

 

 

 

 

one last glance from a taxi cab
images scar my mind
four weeks have felt like years
since your full attention was all mine
he night was young and so were we
talked about life, God, death, and your family
didn't want any promises,
just my undivided honesty, and you said

oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
oh oh, things are gonna change, oh, they're gonna change

i am the patron saint of lost causes
a fraction of who i once believed [changed]
only a matter of time
opinions i would try and rewrite
if life had background music playing your song
i've got to be honest, i tried to escape you
but the orchestra plays on, and they sang

oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
oh oh, things are gonna change

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

 

give me time to prove
prove i want the rest of yours [prelude]
call this a prelude to a lifetime of you
it's not that i hang on every word
i hang myself on what you repeat
it's not that i keep hanging on
i'm never letting go

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

 

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

save me from myself
save me from myself
help me save me from myself
save me from myself

oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
oh oh, things are gonna change

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

 

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

 

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through

you dismantle me
you dismantle me

 

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down [repair]
you dismantle me
you dismantle me
