In the darkness with you.

I love Halloween.  Really, truly from my heart love it.  I was born on Halloween, 1982 (the Halloween Michael Jackson's Thriller came out), so it's a holiday that has always been mine, somehow.

Halloween, to me is harvest, magic, cider, darkness, heels, the moon, wolves, legends, candlelight, bare forests, candy, vampires, castles, red wine, black lace, midnight and pure fantasy.  It's growing a year older.  It's reflection, childhood memories, warmth, and more than anything... it's home.

I've posted a different version of this song before but I'm posting it again because I think it's brilliantly wistful and dreamlike. There is something about this band that takes you on a sort of swirling journey that is incredibly unique to her chilling voice and raw emotion, yet they still somehow seem within reach.

"I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back

Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too

So I stayed in the darkness with you"

Cosmic city.

I haven't been blogging, I know!  So, so busy!!  I'm sorry.  

Life has seriously been getting in the way of writing!  :((

Dear beautiful....

....and our five year (really??  Already?!) love affair as of this very week....

"Once, years ago, I looked up by mistake and fell into your eyes.

I’m still falling. Sometimes, it feels like flying."

I'm in love with this dreamy song by Florence + The Machine. :) Her voice is just stunning. Like an angel.

And as far as this city goes.... it's a love/hate relationship. 
Mostly love.... but tension is sometimes necessary......
 right?;)
