The year after high school I was really into Bethany Dillon. I played her first album over and over. And I marveled that a girl (!) who was younger than me (!) could write lyrics filled with so much wisdom. Also I was in music school at the time and I think I was just […]

Take it back or let me go
Blame it on the time change, or the extreme blustery weather, but I am in a foul mood today. An I Hate Everyone And Everything Sucks And I Just Want To Rip Up Pieces Of Paper Into Little Bits kind of mood. Gosh you guys, sometimes I wonder if I should rename this blog “The […]
For the love I’d fallen on
Two songs today folks! Yesterday I got the chance to fill in on keys with one of the other worship bands. I love nearly everything about playing in a worship band (not the early mornings) but one of my favourite parts is hanging out with everyone backstage. The conversations that go on when you put […]
my family lives in a different state

There wasn’t really anyone who blew me away except for maybe Jennifer Hudson. Which…did she seriously just have […]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day, everybody. With all due respect to U2, this is my most favourite of all the MLK songs. Patty Griffin has the most magical, haunting voice. Living with Ghosts is one of my all time favourite albums. Perfect listening for a snowy evening in January. This song was inspired by […]
Even though I thought I was all alone, I was wrong.
This acoustic guitar/mandolin/cello combo is quickly becoming my most favourite musical sound. I like slick studio production and dance-y beats as much as the next girl but there is nothing like a stripped down acoustic performance. Just in case you were wondering, the way to my heart is slightly scratchy man voice and a well […]
