The Birdsongs


This band called The Birdsongs played at our youth DNOW last weekend. They blew my mind. A family band with so much talent...so so so much talent. Benjamin, Matthew, Timothy, Philip, Coleene, and their father, Wendell. They all play like, 4 instruments each, and sing wonderfully. Benjamin wrote the songs on the CD I've been listening to for 5 days straight and they are the words my heart shouts at the top of it's lungs. I can't decide which song I like the most...Pieces? I know you want to break free, I know you know you could be so much more than everyone is telling you you are
So Much More? Take your make-up off, prepare yourself for another night of staring at the ceiling wishing you could fall asleep
Celestial Stationary? There's no one here so you can stop pretending. This is ending tonight. Your frozen smile can't hide just what you're thinking now.
Letting Go? I try my best to stay on track, but it's all my fault when I derail...

They're all so good. The new soundtrack to my life.

Say March

March is here. March is such a sweeter word to say than February. February is so blatantly a winter word. Cold and crisp on your tongue and chill on your lips.
March. A word of spring flowers and warm winds. Whimsical almost.
It's now only a matter of time before the weather catches up to us and we're off running through the flowers and into sprinklers.

Say March. Do you taste spring yet?
