music monday: hunger games.

have you seen the hunger games yet?

i haven't. but, i promise that i will see it soon (as in a day or two).

i've heard rave reviews about it so i'm very excited.
i also started listening to the soundtrack & it's fabulous. here are some of my favorites:

"Lover is Childlike" -- Low Anthem


"Eyes Open" -- Taylor Swift


"Safe & Sound" -- Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars (LOVE. Have I shared this before? Perhaps.)


"Just A Game" -- Birdy


Let me know what you think. The soundtrack is definitely different, but oh so lovely.

music monday.

hello, music lovers.

I've done a few "music monday" posts before and I'm going to try to do this every week. The songs might be covers, new discoveries, guilty pleasures, etc. Oh wait, let's do one of each this week? :) Good idea.

Cover — The Civil Wars: "You Are My Sunshine"

See more of The Civil Wars in this post.


New Discovery — Jack & White "Smoke & Mirrors"

*I saw Jack & White perform live last Tuesday. It was so good.

Guilty Pleasure — Jessie J "Domino"

This song makes me want to dance. All around the room.


There you have it — the first Music Monday of 2012. What are you listening to? Any suggestions?

the civil wars.

How have I never heard of the band The Civil Wars before today? Beauty! Even though I normally refuse to listen to anything but Christmas music during December, I branched out today and fell in love with these three songs:





I love bands that sound awesome live.

and, stolen from Kelly's blog, a song from The Hunger Games soundtrack that features Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars. I started reading the series last Saturday and couldn't stop! So, I love this song even more.


Enjoy!
