"Keep your heart close to the ground"

Back at school, this weekend reminded me why I love home so much. My family has to be so amazing that they have to go and make me homesick every time I leave. I wonder if I'll always be homesick for home and if this will ever go away.

Song that's on repeat at the moment...


"soldier on
soldier on
keep your heart
close to the ground"

And so it goes...

"You abandoned me/Love don't live here anymore"

Currently loving...

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" -City and Colour (I'm actually revisiting a lot of C&C stuff and liking it just as I did two years ago)
"Hello" (Lionel Richie cover) -Lissie
"Alors on Danse" -Erik Hassle w/ Stromae

I just discovered all of these raw, live sessions done by Ray-Ban and they're so good. My favorites are Erik Hassle's and Lissie's but that's really no surprise is it?

Erik performing "Hurtful" and it's lovely as always.

Lissie performing her cover of "Hello". Love the intimacy in the back of this cab.

My Song and Dance Man...

"At 14, I discovered girls. At that time, dancing was the only way you could put your arm around the girl. Dancing was courtship. Only later did I discover that you dance joy. You dance love. You dance dreams."

I'm currently on a Gene Kelly kick and have come to a realization (kinda late) that he was the best actor/dancer in my book. Just watch him go, he's so natural and graceful. He still has that masculinity to him though too, which I love. He's so handsome!


Also, I've been watching and listening to all of Erik Hassle's new stuff from his album The Hassle Sessions: Volume One. His covers are amazing!

And so it goes...

"We're holding out for you/Covered in snow"

Current listens:

Under Control album -Cary Brothers
Habits album -Neon Trees
"Heartless" (Kanye West cover) and "Covered in Snow" -William Fitzsimmons
"First in Line" -Matthew Mayfield

Anyways, I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the whole home sick/reclusive/weirded-out thing. I still don't know quite why I was feeling that way but it's eased up and I'm slowly thinking about those thoughts less and less. I was very happy today; beach, movies, peace.

And so it goes...

Homesick

Do you ever get homesick?

I can't get used to it
I can't get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'll never get used to it





And so it goes...

Sometimes being in a crowded room makes me feel the loneliest. I sit there and wonder why I'm so uninterested in what's going on around me. Maybe it's my reclusiveness at times, or maybe I just have things to say that would never come out the way I'd want them to. This mostly happens at night which might explain a lot or explain very little. Whatever the reason, I don't know what to think of it all. What does it mean and does it even mean anything at all?

And so it goes...
