In My Head: The fragment of a song that I just wrote. It's called Bamboo and currently lasts about 10 seconds or so. I'll post it on here very soon, as well as the Brett Dennen show post. ;)
Title:"My Words" in Norwegian

Глубоко Синий и Зеленый

"...Deep blue and green, color of her eyes lookin' at me, early in the morning..."

So, I woke up this morning with "Easier" by Joe Purdy in my head because I went on a walk and listened to it on repeat last night. The song is about a relationship that is starting to get hazy, which has nothing to do with my situation at all. But, I began thinking that that song is a subliminal reminder to not put the hope of your existence into someone else.

I am learning. I am in training. I want to be that cloud that gets frustrated and tired with being a nomad and decides to take a rest as a fog. I want to stop searching for that place of contentment in myself. I want to feel satisfied with myself. I want to feel full, to feel complete.

Joe Purdy's "Easier" has one line that goes "Are we gonna get to paint this town deep blue and green, color of your eyes lookin' at me early in the morning". For 45 minutes while messing with Facebook and YouTube, that line orbited all my thoughts.

I then decided to take another look at myself and see myself through new lenses: web-cam lenses. I took so many pictures of myself organically to peel away my fear and self-consciousness.

Here was my inspiration:

In My Head: See above ;)

Talvez Caio Para Você

Remember this?

Landon Pigg's "(Falling In Love At The) Coffee Shop" left a melodic echo in my ears months after I saw this commercial. I honestly do not know this artist very well yet; I just wanted to share this winter-y little ditty.

Here's the whole song:


I always want to drink hot chocolate or tea when I play this. I also get the craving to go to the Gryphon and pick up some tea...Happy Sipping!

Title: "Maybe I'm Falling For You" in Portuguese
In My Head: "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys

Les diamants Et les Perles Dans Vos Cheveux

On Friday night, I had the pleasure of watch The Darjeeling Limited for the first time with two of my favorite people: Julia, my suitemate, and her boyfriend, Jason. If you ever a get a chance to see it, take it. Takes place in India, and about three brothers. That's all I'm spilling. In the footsteps of Nike, just see it.

Before the movie, there is a short film entitled Hotel Chevalier. At the three minute mark of this thirteen minute short, an accordian opens to an unfamiliar, but catchy and lovely tune, followed quickly by a man's comparing his lovely lady to some French woman. It comes from Jason Schwartzman's iHome, before answering the door to find Natalie Portman asking the exact question the audience is: "What's this music?"

While watching this, I grabbed a post-it pad and a pink pen to scribble some of the lyrics to google them later and unveil this precious musical not-quite-antique baby ruby.

Note: Even though it's a short film, it's rated R, so I am giving you the first part as a free sample. If you actually want to taste the entire cone, look it up on YouTube.


"Where Do You Go To, My Lovely" by Peter Sarstedt, a one hit wonder from 1969.
I did not find a video that I like for this song, but I'm sure the film snippet was a chocolate-covered pretzal - sweet with a little bite.

Title: "Diamonds And Pearls In Your Hair" in French
In My Head: "Put A Record On" by Unkle Bob (star of the next post)
