Northern Lights

On my way to my small group meeting last night, I stopped by Starbucks to get a cup of coffee. It was a quick stop, but just enough time to hear one of the most beautiful sounds I've heard in a long time. It was a song I had never heard, but needed to know (you know, one of those songs). So, I of course Shazammed it. (Shazam is an iPhone app where you can 'tag' a song while you are listening to it, and it will tell you who the artist is and the song title. Pretty amazing.)

Today I remembered that I had discovered that artist, so I looked up the song on YouTube to see if they had a video of it. I also looked up the lyrics to see the words as I listened to the song. I don't know if it's because I am more emotional than usual, or because this song is simply just that beautiful, but watching this video made me tear up.

I hope you can find a similar enjoyment while listening/watching this.

"Northern Lights", Bowerbirds

"& i do need the wind across my pale face
& i do need the fern to unfurl in the spring
& i do need the grass to sway
yes i do need to know my place

but all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wake
for a short while"

I am so anxious to make new music. I have so many ideas, I just need to get on it.
