Somehow, I got into my head that Saturday (yesterday) was the 30th.
So I'm pretty sure that this blog is just going to be a song for my friend Alex every day. And when our friend Shoshana starts her thing with Katimavik (October 7), they're going to be for her as well. Maybe I'll post regularly, or maybe I'll save that for my other blog, on tumblr.
I'm missing them both so much. I don't even get to see Shoshana before she leaves - She's going to be in Blue Lake until then. *cries*
Oh well. Alex, today's song is: First Day of My Life, by Bright Eyes. You can totally listen to it on Sunday. No swear words or hidden meanings (like Travailler). The video is really cute, and even though the song is about love and all, it's still a new start for you, so I think it works.
Also, if you have time, you should check out the cover by Julia Nunes. It's on youtube. I love her. I'll probably post one of her originals at some point. (Edit: Yes, I will be. In a couple weeks I'm going to have YOUTUBE week, where I'll post originals from people I found via youtube. I'm putting a lot of work into this for you.)
Enjoy your Sunday. The real songs begin tomorrow. This was just week .5 (aka unofficial week.)
Tomorrow Week 1 begins. And there are some really awesome songs. Maybe not as good as the ones I've planned for Week 2, but still.
Love you!

ReplyDeleteYou can't even believe how much I appreciate this.
But wow, you couldn't have chosen a better song. Today one of those 'profound' statements that I came across was in a card that I found from my mom in my luggage and it said, "Remember - this is the first day of the rest of your life."
You must have been inspired or something. Thank you for being such a good friend. I really can't express how much this means to me.
Thank you for being you.
Much Love,
Alex Loewen
This song is awesome! And also, as I'm not actually in Blue Lake till I leave, we NEED to hang out before I go, fo' realz.
