Day 27~30 days of blog lovin'~ the miracle of music ♥

Hello sweet friends! Yesterday I talked a little about how music is a big part of our lives and although we aren't playing too much these days with all of the other excitement we have going on, the power and capacity of music to make miracles is always something that is deeply moving to me.  With only three days left of my daily blogging commitment I leave you today with three videos that are a testament to the healing power of song, the capacity for communion between humans and other species with music as the love link and the sheer joy that a song memory can bring! Next time you're feeling not so on top of the world, find a song that lifts you and play it loud! If it makes you wanna dance all the better!  My favourite "feelgood song" is  "Praise you" by Fatboy Slim and it never fails to change my mood in the best way! ok I'm adding that video in at the bottom too and I want you all to dance the dorkiest dance you can while listen...

Day 26~30 days of blog lovin' Tra la la la la!!

Just a quick one tonight as I am heading upstairs pronto for a well deserved bubble bath, one of my favourite things in the world! I hope you all enjoyed me sharing my wibbly wobbly career path with you....I tried to find some pics to illustrate and just found this gem. Marco and I, 16 years ago at the opening of our second store "Heart of the Sky" surrounded by our wares......... of course after I finished telling you all about my diverse range of jobs and careers I remembered so many things I had missed out.......the biggest of which has been my foray into singing! Together Marco and I and a bunch of friends have produced four CD's over the years and played numerous gigs..... You can find us as The Long Goodbyes on Itunes and download songs from our latest CD 1+1=11 although I have never really gotten over performance anxiety...  We have had many awesome times on stage together..... I leave you tonight with this super cute video ...

Dont let your song go unsung....la la la la!!!!!

Now that I know how to embed videos in my blog I thought I should probably post this little video I made of some of my work from over the past 12 years. Hope you enjoy! That's me singing too and I know I keep that pretty quiet but Marco and I are working on a new CD with the gorgeous Ged and Syd and we're aiming to release it towards the end of the year... Hopefully by then I will have figured out how to make some videos to go along with our music :) Just wanted to share for those of you on your own creative journey that it has, for me, not all been easy to let my voice be heard. I sang for years in my bedroom, in the shower, busting out in the house when no one was around...singing along to mums Dolly Parton records (Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,Joleeeeeeene...I'm begging of you please dont take my man!)and memorising all the words to Grease when I was 12... but it wasn't unt...
