Music Monday: Brooke Waggnoner

This song first caught me offguard as I was sitting in my car driving home from work. The radio station I had on generally play pop songs on repeat so this was a pleasant surprise. Of course when you hear something this awesome you just have to Shazam it and I found Brooke Waggoner ! Her lyrics are simple and yet, just beautiful. Fresh Pair Of Eyes 'Cause I want to be seen With a fresh pair of eyes The single white tree In a black hood of disguise I want, I want to be seen With a fresh pair of eyes The single, the single white tree In a black hood of disguise I miss God, I miss God I miss God, I miss God

Have you ever had an overwhelmingly glorious yet surreal moment? A time of day when you stir into consciousness and flicker your eyes open, blinking away the sandy wisps of sleep and feel at that exact moment that God was right there with you. He brushes your hair away from your eyes, caressing your cheek. You say good morning with a wide spread grin and he says, "Good morning my love. Good morning my daughter. Good morning my treasure."

Music Monday: Capital Cities

Capital Cities is an indie pop duo formed by Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian. The band is pretty new to me but they've been around for a couple of years and I found Safe & Sound on YouTube while clicking through video after video one weekend. The band premiered the official video of “Safe and Sound” on April this year on VEVO which was directed by Grady Hall (Beck, Modest Mouse)! The video featured work from Emmy-nominated choreographer Mandy Moore (who also choreographs for SYTYCD). The video was nominated for two 2013 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects. The video won a 2013 MTV Video Music Award for Best Visual Effects. It's such a fun video so check it out! When that's done check out " Kangaroo Court " which features Darren Criss ! This sooo explains the Instagram pic !

Music Monday: Cups by Anna Kendrick

I loved the song Cups when I first heard it on Pitch Perfect and Anna Kendrick performed it awesomely. Since then, there's been tons of covers, one of my favourites being the one by Sam Tsui, Alex G, Kina Grannis and Kurt Schneider . And then my two favourite dancers went and choreographed a piece too which was too good not to share. :)
