can't stop, won't stop: december

Oh yea, it's time for this again (because, really, I'm always finding new and old favorites to obsess/re-obsess over). And as for my most recent playlist? Well, here ya go:

• What I'm Looking For by Brendan Benson
• Baby by Justin Bieber (am I for real with this? ughhh...judge me)
• If It Kills Me by Jason Mraz
• No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame (what? sometimes I like to get my rap on)
• If I Die Young by The Band Perry

Have y'all ever heard of The Band Perry? I hadn't until I heard their song If I Die Young over the weekend. It's so beautiful, y'all, that I really think I need to check out their entire (self-titled) album.

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

I would really love to do a bit if a re-cap of the totally fantastic weekend I had, but I'm picky and want to post pictures, pictures I haven't even seen yet because I'm waiting for my friend Diana to upload them to Facebook. My camera(s) bit the dust recently and, needless to say, I'm going insane not being able to take my own pictures. Anyway, I suppose it'll just have to wait.

Oh, and I mean, it's still in the works, but I believe I will have someone new for y'all to meet very soon. :)

good day, sunlight

I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me, but I know you
See, you're my favorite star
Falalallow you I will, so let's get moving

"Who Needs Shelter" by Jason Mraz is the song that wakes me up every morning. I love the words and his breezy voice. The only downside is that now whenever I hear it, no matter the time of day, I think of early mornings and snooze buttons. Sorry, Jason.


By your clock, the cock rooster crows & off to work then everybody goes
Slow, but eventually they get there

Who needs shelter when the morning's coming?
Absolutely there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no, not anyone

Personally I'm an enormous Jason Mraz fan. Mostly of his older stuff, Waiting For My Rocket To Come and Mr. A-Z being my favorite of his albums. He's so mellow and quirky but can jam so hard. If you haven't heard many of his songs or if you've only heard his radio hits such as Lucky or I'm Yours, I highly recommend the following badass jams:

The Boy's Gone (it's in my Top 5 Favorite Songs of all time)
Plane
Mr. Curiosity
I'll Do Anything
O, Lover
Song For A Friend
Sleep All Day

Now that I listen to my iPod while I tend to the tedious task of inputting invoice after invoice, Jason's music is even more delightful than usual. His voice, his words, his sound transport me to such a place of peace and happiness.
