Just wanted to share with you a few places I love to find music at:

Daytrotter - free reworked songs from more indie bands. usually a pretty stripped down sound. (currently listening to Freelance Whales session… shweet shtuff.)
You Crazy Dreamers  - great place to find music of somewhat varied genres, always with the use of guitar
Bandcamp - a great place to find new music of all sorts and genres, whether it be from big names (sufjan stevens) to just starting bands

Enjoy, and have a beautiful weekend!

You hear the smile in her voice as she starts to pray,
“Hey Dad,”
and she knows as she says that
that
(/everything
will be okay/)

“There is nothing new under the sun, but that is no reason to despair. For as surely as there is nothing new, God stays forevermore a constant source of hope and renewal. Surely.’

Open the cupboard and reach for a mug. Feel the weight of it in your hands. Finger the handle, and feel it in your palms. Set it down on the counter.

Turn to the sink and lift the tap; cool water runs out freely. Lift the lips of the kettle to be filled. Set down the kettle and it comes to a boil. Soon enough, it cries out.

Choose from your choice of teas and slip the leaves in.

Pouring in the water it rushes rushes swirls, sinks and settles
the flavor seeps and changes everything
The aroma rises, warmth.

Take a sit and have a taste, help yourself.

you say to meet Me here, but are you even coming out to meet Me anyway?

As my lungs inhalexhale so they long to be filled with her humid air
The sweat of my skin with the salt of her sea. Summer
enwrapped in her sidewalk smells, vendors’ shouts—
the subtle hush of the city at night lullabies my dreams, my sleep
i awake to business, a filling breakfast combo, lazy days in front of 3-channel tv
(one of which is just a security camera for the building complex)

to get lost in the malls full of stores and stories
people, people, people mountain people sea
I want You to reign there still, even when I am not there and especially when I am there for You to reign in me.
