with a new landslide of papers to grade, manuscript contests to send off to, & fellowship deadlines, i've been looking for music which is little more calming. this cover, one of my favorite songs in its original form, crushes me in the best way. for me, a killer cover must be executed well enough to sound like it could have been written by the covering artist. regina does this one spare. cooled down. beautiful. it's a perfect september weather song--all drizzle & chill. not so much a glooming feeling as it is a slowing down of the whole body. a heartsleep.
i promise an actual post soon, complete with wild apple polaroids. and sun. shine.
p.s. all the proceeds from purchasing this song on itunes go to doctors without borders emergency relief fund.
for some reason, this song makes me think of Lee. and this artist makes me think of you. and september drizzle-chill-heartbeats make me warm. i hope your slowing down goes well as the world speeds up.
ReplyDeletewild apple polaroids!
