A song a day every day of my 25th year. I try to profile lesser-known and/or Canadian artists. My favourite genre is folk, and I generally go with whatever mood moves me that day. Some posts discuss the history of the artist or song and some are my reflections on the choice.

Katie Melua - A Happy Place
Yes, I am on a bit of a Katie Melua kick this week. She's just such a good songstress! This video is amazing to watch as well. So much action! I feel like either the director or musician made it resemble their own happy place. I like the visuals of other people's happy places! It makes me wonder how I would illustrate my own to the world...

Anjulie - Boom
A productive day is always dreamed of, rarely attained... c'est ma vie!
Yesterday morning, my schedule was faced with a conondrum. Early morning shift, lunch date just before noon, personal training mid-afternoon and dinner with a friend I haven't seen in much too long to end it all off. And so, where was I going to fit in that work I actually want to be doing - the work that is supposed to be moving my soul further in this world - my writing?
Luckily, I have connections on Whyte... WIFI connections, that is! And like that, my sporadic day of running here and there was supported by my sitting in a bookstore cafe, typing away at my laptop, and listening to the random music trying to be sold by the bookstore. Trying? Hmmm, maybe not. When I talked with the person who chose the album, it was a random picking of an album that looked pretty. (Yes, we do judge books/cds/etc. by their covers! )So, once again, I have serendipitously found a new artist to love....who's also Canadian :-D

Tina Turner : What´s Love Got To Do With It
It's weird how one song can make a line infamous...or how one line can make you remember this whole song... I suppose, it is the title of the song..
Regardless, this is a legendary song that just felt all too perfect for my morning. I hope you enjoy listening to Miss Turner as much as I did today...

Bright Eyes - I Must Belong Somewhere
Today's video did not embed on my blog :-(. But, please click on the link and check it out!
For some reason, I've been listening to more mellow music this week. I think it has something to do with being a bit sick :-( Nonetheless, I always really enjoy this song. The video, also, captures that desire that the song is responding to. We all strive to find some real place for ourselves, but the truth is that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. Call it faith, fate, or just blind belief, but this is exactly what we are supposed to be doing, based on everything that has happened in the past, and everything that may happen in the future. What we choose to do with our situation is the only thing that will change things, and it will only change the future... Embrace it!
