A song I’ve been listening to lately that I just love is “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. I first heard this song on the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance”. It was used in a dance choreographed by Mia Michaels between Kayla and Kupono. It was all about addiction, and I thought it was one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of art I have ever seen. I have included the video below to the dance and to the song. I hope you enjoy them both.
Since it is now officially the 8th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, I decided I would include a Tribute post. I started looking through YouTube to find appropriate videos and soon found myself crying, in shock, in awe, and biting my nails as I waited to see again the second collision. Knowing it would happen only made it worse.
On 9/11/2001 I was serving a mission for my church in the Dominican Republic. I remember exactly where I was when I found out something had happened in America. My companion and I couldn’t get good information until we went to a member’s house and turned on CNN. That’s when I saw what had happened. We watched and rewatched the footage over and over. It was surreal. I wish I could’ve been here in America when it happened. I’ve been told that American Flags were displayed everywhere and that the Nation was completely United.
I was only going to include one video, but I couldn’t find just one that had everything I wanted to share. So, I’ve included many. Watch whichever ones you want, just make sure and remember.
If you can, please leave a comment with where you were and what you were doing that day. You can include any feelings you had as well.
This is a song I finished this year. I wasn’t sure what to name it, so I named it “Untitled”. I may have had a slight cold when I recorded this…
Untitled Lyrics
Will you watch me fly
Will you watch me as I jump through the sky
Will you catch my fall
Will you catch me if I start to fall down
Will you wait for me when I’m out alone
Will you pray for me that I’ll make it home
Being with you makes it easy
Being with you makes it right
What have I done to deserve this
I must be dreaming if this is my life
Will you draw me in
When no one else will see me
Will you draw me in and believe in me
Will you hold my hand with your life
Will you take me home tonight
Will you come for me when I can’t stand
Will you strengthen me when I don’t think I can
Being with you makes it easy
Being with you makes it right
What have I done to deserve this
I must be dreaming if this is my life
I must be dreaming cause you’re by my side
I must be dreaming cause this is my life
