i'm back! and i've brought videos with me!

Remember when I blogged? That was fun. Remember when I forgot to update for a year? Oops. I genuinely enjoy blogging, but sometimes I stop because I think "What's the point?"

My favorite posts are 10 things posts. I love sharing things with people. If I run across a good video/song/movie/shirt/beard/cat/sandwich/haircut/book I HAVE to share it with someone. I experience physical pain by keeping inspiration inside. (Dramatic, whatever.)

I have been a busy, busy bee lately working full time, plus tons of freelance and working on a shiny new website (eee!). My goal is to start blogging mainly about the things that inspire me (and occasionally all my rockin' talented friends) and the things I am creating. I won't be posting any project for a little while since I have mainly been doing weddings and I like to respect the bride and groom by not posting details of their wedding until after the event has gone down. (I just feel like that makes sense, yeah?) So while I have some invite suites I am pumped to show you...it'll have to wait ;)

So until then, here is a 10 things list!

10 ACOUSTIC VERSIONS THAT ARE THE JAM

I've got a thing for acoustic versions. I am a sucker for clapping and snapping and reduced tempos. I love hearing someone's voice showcased. And occasionally, an acoustic version will make me love a song I generally don't like. There are hundreds of videos I could post in this list, but here are 10 that I currently can't stop listening to. (Note: I purposely didn't post any Tiny Desk sessions...they're too good. It's not fair)

1. Brooke Fraser - Something in the Water



2. Local Natives - Who Knows Who Cares



3. Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone



4. Kimbra - Settle Down



5. Sam Smith - Lay Me Down


(This is probably the best one on this whole dang list. How do I steal Sam Smith's voice?)

6. Haim - Go Slow



7. Ed Sheeran - Give Me Love



8. Florence + the Machine - Cosmic Love



9. Lisa Hannigan - I Don't Know



10. OneRepublic - Feel Again



Honorable Mention: Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen


(I just love her tiny baby riffs.)

And there you go! Enjoy the musical sweetness :)
