Since today is the International Women's Day, it's a good idea to give some thanks to a woman, right? So today my thanks go to Shannon Eileen of Happiness Is... blog. Shannon has just recently posted about a song that I happened to get hooked on from the very first sound - "Black and Gold" by Sam Sparro. She is a musician herself, so it's only natural that she would have a great taste in music. I'm feeling thankful for this maybe seemingly small thing, because it's not often that I feel such connection with both the melody and the message in a song right away, she happened to post about it at the very right time too. I was once again reminded that no happiness in the world really matters when you don't have anyone to share it with.
And speaking of heartfelt songs, I cannot not mention my super good friend Mark's new band Wooden Wires - they've just formed it about 6 weeks ago for the UK's Channel 4 competition and made it to the final 20 (out of 1500+ entries). Now it's up to the public to decide who makes it to the final 10. So if you want to make me feel even more thankful, I'd appreciate it if you could stop by to check out their music and help support a friend HERE.
I guarantee you'll feel the beauty of this song if you watch Mark's band partner Dom playing the acoustic version of one of their songs:

No happiness in the world really matters when you don't have anyone to share it with... so true Julia. Besides, how can someone claim happiness if he/she is alone?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! xoxo
Love it! Some women artists I love include Tori Amos, Dar Williams, Indigo Girls, Dixie Chicks, Bjork...they all rock & speak loudly for women everywhere.
