Choir makes me a softy

Thou Hidden Love of God

Thou hidden love of God whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no one knows,
I see from afar thy beauteous light,
And inly sigh for thy repose;
My heart is pained nor can I be
At rest until I rest in thee.

'Tis mercy all that thou hast brought
My mind to seek its peace in thee;
Yet while I seek, but find thee not,
No peace my wand'ring soul shall see.

O when shall all my wand'rings end,
And all my steps to theeward tend?

Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah, tear it thence and reign alone,
The Lord of ev'ry motion there.
Make me thy duteous child that I
May ceaseless "Abba, Father" cry.

Each moment draw from earth away
My heart that lowly waits thy call;
Speak to my inmost soul and say
"I am thy love, thy God, thy all!"
To feel thy pow'r to hear thy voice,
To taste thy love, be all my choice.

My heart is pained, nor can it be at rest,
Until I rest in thee.

-John Wesley 1703-91

FUN.

is back!

Emotional bandaids

Goapele - First Love


Thelonious Monk - Blue Monk


Mozart - Clarinet Concerto in A


Lil' Jon - Outta Your Mind

There's no particular reason to why I posted emotional bandaids... I just thought these songs brought a sense of comfort in their own ways. It's been a hard week though. But it should all be just fine.

O you fancy huh

I LIKE THIS MUSIC but I still hate music theory


I'm not a big Bon Iver fan... but I like this song and I posted this cuz that little guy it totally wearing a sweater that looks identical to the ones in OTAVALO. Coolio


Have I mentioned that I don't like Lady Gaga (SORRY B) and that I hate country music? Well, ironically, the two came together and made a song that I LOVE.


And thanks for J... I listen to Coltrane on my way to school everyday. Swoon.

Music theory is not for dummies

Words by 'Abdul-Baha. HOW FUN.

Not a fan of poetry

But a fan of poets.


i carry your heart

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
