Gotye - Eyes Wide Open

Every once in a while a song just decides to consume me and become stuck in my head. A never ending repeat of drums, lyrics, and beats. I suddenly become addicted to a song, like no song before it ever mattered. It is such a revolutionary occurence. All at once I just want every single person in the entire world to love the song like I do. At least, they need to be made aware.

I can't explain what it is about this song that makes me feel so. Maybe it's the wicked vocals, the frustration, the feeling of an end, or just the mood the song portrays. To me, this song feels epic. One of those things that make me sit back and go "oh. my. goodness."



I hope this song consumes you.

Here's My Number...HARVARD!

I usually can't really stand anything that is on mainstream radio, but this song, oohh.

Yep, I have been brought to the dark side...

...by the Harvard baseball team.



I have long attested to the fact that all guys who play baseball are undeniably attractive. I have also always thought that boys who are dorks are cute. When you put the two together, it's beautiful. Well, when I saw this video on Facebook, I was kind of hooked. Yes, the guys in the video are cute. Yes, the song is catchy. And yes, I had never really paid any attention to this song before the Harvard baseball team got to it. I watched the video about five times last night, another five this morning, and as soon as I got home tonight, I watched it again. Coincidence, I just got home from a baseball game. :) I am such a teenaged girl when it comes to this stuff.

Somebody also brought up the fact that the guy in the middle of the second row looks like Tim Tebow. That doesn't hurt anything! And guess what?!? Tim used to play baseball! haha

Now, excuse me while I go buy the song and dance around my room like a dork while neglecting to do any of the three projects that I have to do. :)



PS- Someday I am going to go up to a guy and go "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. Here's my number, so call me maybe." I just need courage. I'm like the Cowardly Lion here people.

Summertime

The weather is getting warmer. The mornings a little bluer. My days a little brighter. Spring is in the air and nothing is better than waking up to birds chirping. This is my favorite time of year. Well, the days that aren't miserably windy, unbearably disgusting, or depressing that is.

All in all I love spring. And summer.



The Lumineers are my band of the moment. "Flowers in Her Hair" is really the first ever song that I wish was longer. I mean seriously, this song is just too good to be this short. Yet again, maybe that's good. Maybe the length of the song gives the originality and perfection that it has. This band is just totally life. Warm wind blowing through your hair and the sun high in the sky.

I need summer to be here. Like now. Life is getting slightly unbearable. The days where shorts are acceptable and waking up at six is a rarity sound like heaven right now. I miss the sunglasses, the sandals, and the warm winds. I mean seriously. Now the wind is horrible and cold.
