You keep me wishing in the dark..

Friends were sending me links of this young lady for some time and I would always put them to the side along with the others; for some reason I just never find the time to just chill and listen to new music. Driving in my car is where I Shazam like a crazy person and this song is my recent obsession from the weekend. Fortunately I was on my way to a friends house to get ready for a night out, so I started going through Jessie Ware’s tracks and felt like I’d been living in a bubble to have not enjoyed her earlier. The songs had the ability to create an entrancing setting with Ware's glistening vocals yet still building me up for a night out with the energy of the tracks undertones. I suppose like any great love, you remember the first moment you realized how you felt and so 110% is definitely the song I keep going back to.

I adore the lyric “You keep me wishing in the dark..” and certainly her breathy vocals and lyrical subjects compliment my current mood. Maybe it was fate to be to be so behind the times!

Friday Feeling

What a difference a day makes....

A New Year, January, 2013 all these titles of this current time seem to require a lot from you.

A cathartic look back at the last year, what you’ve done, what you haven’t, what you could have done better?

An evaluation of friendships, relationships, acquaintances, situations and opportunities.

Then there is the pressure to look forward, to plan, to do better than you’ve done in those years before.

All of this on these few days, which are really just any other day in our lives where we recover from the festivities of winter but we as human beings use it as a landmark to measure ourselves and as a way to challenge ourselves. We question whether we are satisfied with our lives, whether we are happy and what now we should do about it.

January 1^st comes and our sub conscious automatically puts us into compartmentalisation status, where we try and make sense of everything.

I too have felt myself begin to look back, however I looked back so much during the last year that the only compartment I am allowing myself to be in is the one that creates possibility for this year.

Lists are beginning to be written, new plans for my bedroom have begun, holidays are in discussions, job applications a plenty and all whilst I enjoy my latest indulgence. A little Carrie Bradshaw and friends in the catalogue of Sex In The City, making me all the more ok with not looking back and just carrying on.
