Babel
Thursday, October 11, 2012
Love! I didn't really expect to love this as much as I do. I knew I'd love it. But I love it!!! Their songs are really very lovely. They remind me of Iron and Wine in the way that their lyrics are poetry. I'm still sorting and learning but there are some very early favorites.
1- Not With Haste- Love Love Love.
2- I Will Wait - I must have something with getting attached to the first song I hear off an album because I have been in love with this song since the first time I heard it. I remember exactly where I was when I heard it and I still can't get enough.
3- Lover Of The Light - This song gets in my bones. And watching live videos of them performing it makes me sooo excited.
4- Ghosts That We Knew - It's so hard to put these songs in an order cause I love this one so much. Lovely lyrics.
5- Below My Feet - ♥♥ Thanks SNL for making me fall in love! This song was written for me I think. Makes me think of my lil awakening time. And makes me teary.
6- Lovers Eyes - Perfect
7- The Boxer - I have always loved this song. Even the Simon and Garfunkel version. But this song was made for them. I LOVE it!!
8- Reminder - His voice is charming. HE is charming and I love this song!
9- For Those Below - Should not be at the bottom!! This lil song makes me happy!!
10- Where Are You Now - Sad but awesome
11- Babel - I'm gonna say this one more time. These songs should ALL be at the top cause they're all fucking amazing!
12- Hopeless Wanderer - Love the way he says wanderer :) And I love this song!
13 - Holland Road - Catchy and awesome!
14- Broken Crown - This song reminds me of something that would be on Game of Thrones which of course makes me love it even more!!
15- Whispers In The Dark - Only because I haven't listened to it as close as all the others for some reason.
I will say this...it's still early for both of these albums. A month isn't very long so this could be taken back in the near future but...I am so surprised because out of the two: Mumford and Sons - Babel and The Avett Brothers - The Once and Future Carpenter, I think Babel is my favortie. And that kinda blows my mind. Didn't expect that. This is one of the best records I've ever heard, honestly. They are soooo great. EXCITING!!!
my october
i am blowing it!! it's my most favorite time of year and i have made no time to stop and enjoy it! i've been smothered in anxiety since the end of september. if it's not one thing to worry about it's another. i've had so many issues this month and i am OVER it! anxiety is such a pet peeve of mine. it's such a waste of time and when i finally come out of it i think...what was wrong with me? but it's not something easily overcome. it can be done, but it takes effort. so this is me saying that's enough!! i'm done with the anxiety! i want to snap out of it and enjoy things that are happening around me. take in the season and the things i love. thank the universe for music because i would probably be a mess if it wasn't for the music that's taken over this month. it's always the one thing i have to look forward to and to get lost in.
i am so thankful the house selling/buying experience is over. it ended up being no where near the grandness i had dreamed up in my mind. yes i am very thankful that i am able to buy a new home and yes i am thankful for everything i have. but it was not a wonderful amazing experience like i had hoped it would be. i'm just glad it's done. and now i'm impatiently waiting for things to settle down and resemble some sort of normalcy. i know that what i wanted and what i got are two different things, and i am dealing with not being bitter about the house i now live in. that's a terrible thing to admit, i know, but i'm being truthful and reading that makes me more aware of how bratty i'm being. being honest and saying it out loud helps me realize that i need to get a grip and be grateful. which i really am. my moms neighbors have the back of their house missing. rain,creatures,cold...anything and everything can get in. they cook over a fire and have no heat. i don't have problems. being bitter because i didn't get the exact house i wanted?? that's not me. i refuse to be that kind of person!! that's the kind of people that i cant handle and don't want to be around. savanna informed me that all iv'e done since we moved into this house is complain. i needed that lil slap in the face.
so..upward and onward. this weekend is the fall festival and i'm excited to be seeing gary allan. the rest is just meh. dakota is excited about train and darius rucker. i'm just excited about the food!! it's always my favorite part!
when i get a minute, i'll be posting before and after pics of the rooms i've painted in the house so far. it already looks so different. we're slowly getting there! furniture will help make it feel like home as well. right now its one big echo.
today, i am thankful for my nice new home and all the numerous blessings in my life. i am thankful for the people in my life that love me and make me a better person. i am thankful for the ability to see myself for how i really am and the desire and the know how to fix the things i don't like want or need. i am thankful that it's finally october and i'm very thankful for the new music that's happened. life is good!!
