Colder weather.

Merry Christmas lovies.  
I hope you're having a truly beautiful holiday surrounded by 
love, light, sweets, and the comfort of home. 

I just wanted to say that I am absolutely love The Zac Brown Band.  He has managed to pleasantly surprise me as I'm usually not a big fan of country but for some reason his music gives me that wonderful ache I often mention throughout this blog.  I was just introduced to this song this morning and immediately fell in love with it.... and possibly him?  Just kidding. ;)  Enjoy it, as it is lovely, and if you like it, click on the Zach Brown label at the bottom of this post and check out another post by him. <3

"When you leave, you begin to consider the possibility that,

in leaving the best you've had so far,

you are leaving the best

you will ever have."

-Eliot Periman

"Well it's a winding road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
We go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you who calls me back here

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I gotta gypsy soul
And I was born for leavin' 

And when I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait till then
I can't wait till then"

Free as we'll ever be.

"Most people never get to hear the music.  
Music helps us to understand where we have come from, 
but most importantly what has happened to us.
 Music is only a mystery to people who want it explained.
Music and love are the same."
-Simon Van Booy

So being the lyric girl that I am, and a bit too sleepy to really write tonight, I'm just going to post a new favorite song which then extends into a few verses of one of my all time favorite songs ever in the history of Victoria's favorite songs. I'm not typically drawn to country music but "Free" is an absolute gem. Turn it up, and melt into his voice, the  notes, and the beautifully simple lyrics. I think I'd quite like to live in this six minute & forty-five second world.  The Zac Brown Band's "Free"  extending into Van Morrison's  "Into the Mystic" at 3:45. We can all now share one large, collective sigh....

"So we live out in our old van
Travel all across this land
Me and you

We'll end up hand in hand
Somewhere down on the sand
Just me and you

Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Just as free
Free as we'll ever be

Drive until the city lights
Dissolve into a country sky
Just me and you

Lay underneath the Harvest moon
Do all the things that lovers do
Just me and you

Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Ever be

No we don't have a lot of money
No we don't have a lot of money
No we don't have a lot of money
No we don't have a lot of money
No we don't have a lot of money
No we don't have a lot of money
All we need is love

we're free as we'll ever be
Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Ever be

So we live out in our old van
Travel all across this land
Me and you"
