The Piano Guys

I love music. I love how it makes me feel, I love that it inspires me, and I especially love when the people who create it love what they do. 

That's The Piano Guys. A group of five guys from Utah who travel and create beautiful music; mashes of pop and classical that work so well together and takes me on a mini-vacation to musical heaven. 

I always wanted to learn an instrument. One semester of orchestra in high school doesn't count :/

But, here's a rendition of my favorite David Guetta song...

Titanium

And just in case you haven't heard the original song, here's the link to the video

Speak

 One of the things that sets humans apart from other creatures, besides the ability to walk upright, is their mind and their ability to communicate. It's so fascinating how we've developed speech; a way for us to transcend our thoughts and ideas. It truly is a powerful thing.

Even though we have this great skill at our disposal, when tough times arise, we often look elsewhere for help. We try to lean on someone and ask for advice or words of encouragement. We try searching for answers by looking everywhere but at ourselves.

What is it that makes us think, that in our moments of need, we are no longer powerful enough to fix our own problems?? 
SPEAK to your OWN situation

It comes with believing in yourself and having faith that your words mean something. It also comes with determination and accountability. Once you've spoken to your situation, you have to follow through with it. But trust me, it works. I've done it time and time again. It takes time (like everything else does) but it works. Give it a try :)

Having Trouble Saying How I feel...

Some days things are a little tougher than usual. There might be SO much on your mind and where do you even start to try to figure them out?! Often times, getting the words out immediately do more harm than they help, and it's probably best to keep your mouth closed, take a step back and think .....

Sitting and pondering for long periods of time drives me cRaZy! I just need something to do but I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want to be around anyone. Then I remember, ..there's always music and I can dance dance dance :)

Can't touch this

One of my favorite things to do with my younger siblings is play Just Dance on the Wii. It's super fun and a good work out. Never mind the fact that they always beat me in every song except one, or the fact that I think I'm doing all the moves perfectly and the reality is this.....

And I won't even mention the fact that when I get tired, I just stand there and keep the remote in the position its supposed to be in to rack up all the points because that's ..just..irrelevant. The fact is I love playing with them and this is one of my favorite 80s songs to jam out to :D

 

Take on me - A-ha

Had me from the first hit..

I love music and I listen to mostly everything. In this day and age when everything's so easily available it'd be a little crazy if we all didn't have pretty diverse music libraries. 

Although I listen to all genres of music, the one thing I love is music that gets me hype. I love bopping and losing myself in an awesome song and this is one that gets me going!!!! I'll definitely be bumping to this for the first day of school on Tuesday.
