I'm just gonna leave this little gem here. It's simply too good to be true. I mean what in the world was going on in 1989? For realz. According to the Huffington Post: "Some force in the universe wanted these two things to sync up with near perfection.YouTuber Thomas Jung found a classic aerobic dance video from 1989 and, in a moment of what we can all assume was epiphanous Eureka, decided to pair it up with Swift's "Shake It Off." ~Hannah

I used to tell people that autumn was my favorite season, but I've come to realize in the last couple of years that really isn't true. There's a certain romance to the season that I can't escape. But it's also always a dark time for me. As I've come to realize that I'm very much impacted by the season and lower light, I've also learned to cling more strongly to God's promises when my spirits are low. My brother wrote a song last year and the first time I listened to it, I cried and cried. It perfectly captures my feelings in seasons like this one. The words are Tennyson's and the melody all Daniel. Siblings are a mysterious thing - they are so oddly similar to you. The good thing about it is that when my brother expresses his soul though music, a medium I'm not gifted in, it sometimes feels like he is sharing my heart as well. So on a dark, autumnal day, I hope you enjoy these words and this music as much as I do. I find a certain refuge in them and I hope they bring you solace, as well. "Be near me when my light is low, When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick And tingle; and the heart is sick, And all the wheels of Being, slow. Be near me when the sensuous frame Is Life, a Fury slinging flame. But what of that? My darken'd ways Shall ring with music all the same; To breathe my loss is more than fame, To utter love more sweet than praise. Behold, we know not anything; I can but trust that good shall fall At last―far off―at last, to all, And every winter change to spring. Forgive what seem'd my sin in me; What seem'd my worth since I began; For merit lives from man to man, And not from man, O Lord, to thee. Ring out the want, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be." ~Hannah I found some new music recently that I think you all will enjoy. I don't know much about her and hadn't heard any of her stuff until I listened to her do an interview on the radio. But she is soooooo good. Her sound is kind of old-school pop, but in the best of ways. Heavy on vocals, very soulful and romantic, Jessie Ware's music is just really beautiful. So far my favorite tracks are "You & I (Forever)," "Say You Love Me," "Keep on Lying," "Champagne Kisses," and "Desire." Ok, so that's half the whole album, but it deserves a good listen. Don't just put it on in the background, but sit an enjoy wherever you best can. Check it out. Jessie Ware's Tough Love. ~Hannah So... This is about one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen. And from my personal experience, it's spot on. Happy hump day, y'all. ~Hannah |
