me? excessive? NEVER!

Listening to: Frankie Rose - Pair of Wings

if you put the hauntingly awesome sound of this woman's voice aside, the lyrics themselves are nothing short of inspiring. My favourite lines are "On clouds I'll sing and dance, I just might fall but I'll take that chance"

most of the time, a song convicts me on something i KNOW i should do but dont.. How often do we stand on the ground, only to stare up at the clouds, instead of allowing ourselves to live on them! We live vicariously through movies, or books, or those who have been brave enough to take the chances that we should have.

im not saying quit your job, sell your things and couch surf around the world for the rest of your life. but i am saying we are creatures of habit.. So find yours, break them and find the little things in life that make you feel like you're living in the clouds.

if its in chocolate - eat your chocolate. if its in nature - find that quiet, beautiful place and retreat. if its in music - play your song on full volume and let it transport you. whatever it is - find it, do it, and do it often.

Credit must be given to Nick Meinert, without whom i would probably never have found Frankie Rose.
