Hellooooooooooooooooooooo! After a brief sabbatical, I’m baaaaaaack! I’ll pause for your sigh of relief.
Kidding. I wasn’t off searching the Pyramids, or wandering aimlessly the streets of Morraco, or even tucked away in the corners of India (all places that happily sit on my waiting to be visited list). I was here, in this city by the sea, getting a few matters in order. That’s it. That’s all I got. Just wanted to pop in and say hi.
A friend first told me about this song over a year ago. I’ve had it in reserve, but it’s not till lately I’ve started listening to it a bit more. I find this song to be absolutely beautiful. The melody, the words, the video – you know I am in awe of the dancing, just perfectly matched – the whole package. You may think I’m crazy for saying this, but it’s one of my favorite songs to run too lately. Whether I’m running with the waves of the Atlantic crashed by my side after work or in the wee hours of the early morning, just before dawn breaks, through the coastal marshes, this song just makes me connect. Connect with a past, with a present, with a fate avoided, with lessons learned.
It’s just one of those really great songs.
Christina Perry – Jar of Hearts
I could watch the video on repeat just for the dancing. Simply beautiful and amazing.
What I wouldn’t give for just a few hours in an empty studio and my old cd player. Truly one of the greatest releases to ever experience. There’s freedom in that kind of connection. The kind of freedom no one can give you but yourself.
Until I find that abandoned studio, I’m grateful for the glimpses of that freedom I catch out running.
I hope you’re having a gorgeous week.
~ love & magic, jB
