the other day armed with a camera, my friend and i took a lovely walk through lost mazes of the connecticut bird sanctuary. there were all these lil paths and bridges to cross in the middle of a thousand different shades of trees, the sky was that perfect blue, the air was crisp and the colors of new england leaves were truly awe inspiring…

[from begin to hope 2006]

a few months back, when i first heard this song it was easy to enjoy but not until i saw the video did i actually feel it. the visuals start in black & white as life and love so to speak usually seems. regina’s lyrics depict the way we all hold back on feeling, afraid of the possibilities and more often the disappointment of an outcome. the true beauty comes in when what once seemed so monotone becomes full of bright rainbow colors, when surprises happen, chances are taken and genuine love is given with absolutely no expectations.

i hear in my mind
all these voices
i hear in my mind
all these words
i hear in my mind
all this music

…and it breaks my heart
it breaks my heart.

she walked in with sadness in her eyes
i could tell she’d been sleeping with the stars

on 10.10.06, seattle’s damien jurardo released his 7th album *and now that im in your shadow*. with members eric fisher and jenna conrad, new sound elements of a band are brought in but the familiar simplicity forever loved is never lost.

i still remember the first time i heard damien. a few years ago it happened over the cosmic connection of music listening and dreaming with a new friend, closing our eyes gently on his sofa in the outer borough of queens in complete sweet silence. magic. that feeling when you challenge the chills that run up and down yr spine and all you can do is feel the warmth because you understand it somehow. maybe its in damien’s voice, all that underlining dark story-telling or the way an acoustic guitar can sound so kindly intimate but i felt him. until this day, his music still brings me back to that first time, this innocent feeling rushes through me and i cant help but smile.

listen ~*~ what were the chances
