My New Favourite French Singer: Mara Tremblay!



I just came across this video today, and I am in love with everything about it. Mara's got this lovely sound and her pretty poise in this track.

The whole "Tu m'intimides" album is so brilliant. You have to check it out. It's Magnifique!  

This beauty hails from Quebec which makes her even more - awesomely Canadian!

Ah - I hope to do cool videos like this one day! :)

Enjoy her wicked song and video for  "Le printemps des amants" below!

J'adore!

New "Morten" Couch from EQ3! (Pics of Edie, too!)

If any of you recall, we had a super dark couch in the living room - matching all of the wood and it just felt extremely dark! We have been here for over a year and a half now, and it was time to update the couch that belonged to the previous owner - that we bought from them. It was much easier than moving more in and blah, blah ;)


Really happy with the new couch as it really lightens up the room, and the energy just feels so much better to walk down to in the morning :) It brightens my mood!

Edie also wanted to say "cheese" to the camera. I can't believe she is over 15 months old. Insane! She's so entertaining these days :)

Ellemusic: The Ghost Between (New Song!)


Hey everyone!

So I've been working on this song for quite some time now!  I would enjoy listening to the little fragment that I had wrote, but was so lost on where to go with it. Inspiration struck on Sunday, and I thought that I had better finish this song as I find myself humming it almost everyday! I'll post the lyrics, and the song below them :)

I had a lot of fun working on "The Ghost Between" and I hope you like it!


 The Ghost Between

The crisp air blows through the window
Lonely I am again
Pour me scarlet liquid
bring me back to life again

Creeping through the hallways
wandering slowly through
whatever gets me closer baby
the ghost between me and you

How will I roam the world alone without you?

Baby
Can't stop thinking how this could be good
But Baby
This could haunt us guarantee it would
Baby
I have this feeling and I wish you would
But Baby
It's so Pathetic never understood

I'm reaching out for your hands now
I read a coldness on your face
Do you remember a time
we would laugh we would cry
You would appreciate my grace

We used to both creep down that hallway
kissing heavily through
Whatever brings us closer to feelings of maybe
what was lost between me and you

How will I roam the world alone without you?

Baby
Can't stop thinking how this could be good
But Baby
This could haunt us guarantee it would
Baby
I have this feeling and I wish you would
But Baby
It's so Pathetic never understood

Creeping through the hallways
tip-toeing slowly through
Whatever gets me farther baby
There's ghosts between me and you

Climbing out of the window
oblivion in the mist
You'll find me glowing in darkness knowing 
my heart it won't resist

For now I'll roam our world alone without you...

Baby
Can't stop thinking how this could be good
But Baby
This could haunt us guarantee it would
Baby
I have this feeling and I wish you would
But Baby
It's so Pathetic never understood

Florrie!


Really loving this girl! The production is killer and I  wish I could sound like this! Have you checked out Florrie, yet?  She has a couple EP's and singles, but I really hope to hear more from her. This England based singer, songwriter, drummer (!? - awesome!)  has some really solid, brilliant tracks and I would say that my favourite is her "Introduction" EP

Check her out in itunes!

I will post a favourite song of mine  "Give me Your Love"

I see her getting big! This is so damn good!

The Tree is Up and Decorated!

Finally got the big tree, and decorated it! A little late this year, as we were in Norway - but, it's up and so cozy and lovely smelling :) You can't beat that evergreen smell...  I call this tree Dr. Frasier the 2nd!
Beautiful vintage music ornament my mother found me :)
