Like a Star – Corinne Bailey Rae

Nothing like a beautiful love song to start the year! Wishing you and yours infinite love, compassion, joy and unlimited heartfelt presence for 2015 and beyond…

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I’ll never be the same

Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Honoured to love you

– Corinne Bailey Rae

Janelle Monae on the Tightrope

This is perfect for a “I’m going on 10-day solitary retreat in two sleeps!” soundtrack. I couldn’t embed the official video version of this song (the dancing is AMAZING) but I think you should check out both versions.

Friday calls for some Damien + Ray.

Even to a committed optimist + patient yogini, it sure doesn’t feel like summer in Vancouver these days! Something does not compute between late June and lingering clouds, flash downpours + sinus colds. I feel reluctant to change my Label “summer” so maybe I’ll just love more and watch this pass.

Friday calls for Hindi Zahra.

I’ve been loving me some Hindi Zahra lately. She’s so soul-full + sexy…and can’t we always use a little extra soul-full + sexy? This is a great live rendition of her amazing song, Beautiful Tango.

Someone Like You.

This live performance with Adele gives me the chills.

I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately because it does something to my heart + my inner winds. It conjures up memories of past love and that eery feeling of voidness that comes after separation. Even though I don’t have a particular idea of someone or something I’m trying to replace in my life like Adele does in this song, I do have this curious edge in my heart that gets rubbed when I realize there is distance where there was once a significant connection. It’s a strong reminder of how things are always changing whether or not I notice it in the process.

Here’s to dear, loved Ones in the past, present and future.

Everybody Loves You.
