Adorable, makes my heart melt.

I haven’t posted in forever, but this is certainly post-worthy.

Why a certain so-and-so and I would never work out. 

I love love love this song. 

This is beautiful. Great concept.

Why should I worry? Why should I care?

I may not have a dime, but I got street savoire-faire! 

This song is currently number 1 in my iTunes’ “Top 25 Most Played” at 54 plays. So… I kind of like this one.

It’s a Beatles cover by The Wallflowers, “I’m Looking Through You”. It’s off the “I Am Sam” soundtrack, which is actually all Beatles covers by more modern artists. I’ve had the soundtrack on my computer for years, but never gave it a real listen until a few months ago. I guess it may be due to the fact that I never really understood what all the fuss was about with The Beatles. Yes, they had an immense impact on music, and still do to this day, but are they really that good? Clearly I don’t think so, haha. But even with that said, there are a bunch of Beatles tunes I love. Anyways, what I noticed on this album was that although the artists weren’t singing their own songs, I was able to tell who a big handful of them were just by their singing and overall style. I think this is a big deal. The fact that an artist can sing/play a song that isn’t theirs, but make it their own so that those who listen to it can tell right away it’s them without having ever heard the song before… that’s something else. Now some I knew immediately from their distinct voices, such as Eddie Vedder and Sarah McLaclan, but that in itself is also a huge accomplishment. Being so unique that people recognize your voice as yours? Damn. 

I think this entire concept is really cool. I chose this specific song because it’s probably my favourite. It’s an upbeat fun song, and I absolutely love Jakob Dylan’s voice.  

It was only a matter of time till I posted this video, I’ve probably watched it at least 50 times in the past 6 months… These guys pick the best covers. I can’t like Pearl Jam*, but this is reeeeeeeally good. I’ve seen them live twice this past year, and they always put on a great show. There’s nothing worse than a band who’s got a great record, but their live performance sucks. New album in June, yes!

*My Pearl Jam Theory: Nobody just likes Pearl Jam, if you’re into them.. you love them. I respect they’re very talented musicians, but I’m not at a point where I want to let them consume my life.

This week is over! Well, not in the literal sense… but work and stress-wise I’m in the clear. It feels really good. I’m going to try to keep more on top of my work, cause the stress of frantically trying to catch up in only a few days is not worth it whatsoever. I say this every term, and it never works out… but I’m going to legitimately work at it this time.

Life is really good. I’m just at a point where I’m really happy with everything. I can’t explain it, because of course there are a bunch of things that make it difficult. The biggest one would be the fact that I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with me life… but I don’t even care. Life is so amazing that I’m not going to get myself down by worrying about it. Not that it’s unimportant, it’s extremely far from frivolous, but I’ve come to realize how just young I am… and that I’m in no rush to “grow up” so fast. I’m going to take however long I need to accomplish my goals and do the things that make me happy. You have to “take time to smell the roses”, it’s honestly very important.

Tomorrow I’m going to write about the Chuck Ragan, and particularly Tim Barry, show last Monday. Or.. I’ll try to haha.

Haha I wish my dad had this kind of past, so this would happen at my wedding.
