ahhh music

music for your morning.


a boy in a bar recently told me the type of music i love means i got a little texas left in me yet. i fell in love with him for that alone. ask me about the time i drew the lone star state's shape on the palm of a man's hand. i was explaining the panhandle and the gulf. his hand in mind was heaven. 

funny that it's only just now after nearly eight years in this city,  that i'm coming to learn about and love the low-country gal upon which the rest of me is built. 

look again, looks deceive, i'm a little bit earthy and a little bit wild. 

i digress...to the music: 












(just for kicks, an added {kickass} bonus)...

a little tune to begin the week.



been a while since i posted anything i'm listening to, so i thought i'd share the song that has kick-started the year for me.

i love it. can't stop listening to it.

"don't you wait, and let time, put those bags under your eyes"




in other news: i was thinking this morning about the first time i told a lie. i actually remember it. i'm gonna write about it later, so should you wanna know...

i think i'll look back on 2011 as the year i was made bold by a love of music and the weight of a camera against my chest:

these are the songs that will tell the story of this year. these are the songs i carry in me. these are the songs that will remind me of my first-ever-concert in boston, the long cab-ride to brooklyn, how music marks time and makes circles, of all the things i learned in chicago this summer.

i will remember what song i was listening to when i took the subway downtown to face my greatest fear, my greatest love, to mark the passage of could-have-been lives.

it will be the beginning of the soundtrack for when i finally get around to making my own cameron crowe coming of age film.

this past year was magic. heartbreaking and difficult and monumental and heaven-sent in so many ways. i may not yet have the words to adequately sum it all up, and my photos may not do it justice, so until i take the time to hash it all out, i offer up these melodies...
