Songs in My Head

sooo, there hasn't been a whole lot going on these past few weeks. Nothing all that blog worthy anyway. However, I have had some time to listen to music lately & there have been a few songs that just won't leave...ok, fine I'm addicted to these songs & I admit it (admission is the first step, right?). Anyway, have a look & enjoy! :)


*ahem* yeah, this video is a little silly, but I like the song, ok?! haha, & the don't hug cacti duo (fursuit makers) are pretty amazing! Nothing like a bit of furry silliness to brighten your day, eh?


ok, this one infected me by accident, I admit when I first heard the song, I thought it was odd, but worth looking up! There's also an awesome cover of this song floating around of five people on one guitar, buuuut I'll let you find that one on your own. ;) This is the original version!


watch the man sing! He is good!  Also I like this song, because it's something many people can relate to, that is, facing love from a distance & savoring the time you get to spend together. :) It's cute...and sad @ the same time. Now, if you're wondering why I put all these videos together, know this, I listen to a little bit of everything. I like music, there was no theme to begin with, just songs that have invaded my brain over the past few weeks. Until next time, enjoy some of your favorite music, & don't be afraid to seek new sounds. :) ~Anna

Ocean

Hello lovely ones.
I am here, just for a moment - I'm actually really busy right now (Ha!). I should be finishing my unit operations lab report right now, it's almost done... well, kinda. :P But ---- I can't bring myself to keep working on it right this very second, so I'm taking my break to say "Hello."

At this very moment, I'm exhausted.

I wanted to reach out to anyone and everyone that no matter if this is a hard time or a good time, count your blessings, for each of us has the sunny days and the rainy days of life. There is beauty in both but we must cherish the good and bad to fully appreciate life.
Count the blessings: loved ones, passions, memories, friends, family, animals, the little things... all of it.
And remember that you are never faced with something that you can't get through one way or another.

I may be tired but this song explains how my soul feels deep within...
The song is called "Ocean" by The John Butler Trio.
If I close my eyes, I can see the waves crashing.. I picture just me and sandy beach and the ocean. & being from the Pacific Northwest, my beach is a cold beach... but I love it anyway. Peace.


 Enjoy. Breathe. Live. Love.

Typography & Creepiness

Sooo, I'm kind of in love with typography :). & no, that's not the study of the lay of the land, it's incorporating words into your art, or is it art into your words?... Anyway, I've found a few examples of this in one of my favorite mediums (animation naturally). Have a look & be amazed!!


The audio/video above is by Tom Waits "What's he building in there?" Something I identify a little bit with, being a haunter in October & a fursuit builder the rest of the year, I get strange packages, stay up very late...I have a dog tho, so I'm not a total creep, right? haha


Another creepy one. This time using audio from "The Dark Knight" love the imagery. Just cool that people take the time to do stuff like this? ya know? have a good week! ~Anna
