I like pop music, but usually not for long.
This ,however, is one of the timeless track on my playlist, been on my top 25 list since I got it.
I would take time to really listen to this song, and let my thoughts go along with the beautifully narrated lyrics. Amazing, how this simple and humble song moves the soul. Vitamin M, yeah!
Mindy Gledhill is an indie musician. She is a Mormon and I think a lot of her songs took root in her faith. Hence, beautiful. Check her blog . This song, for example, is about self-acceptance, something I am struggling with. That's why I find her songs very uplifting. Hers was not a light feel-good message, neither it is an angst. She used a lot of metaphors in her songs. Everything that we deal with in life, be it our struggles, our aspiration, our happiness: these are just like other things in life- they are special, but only when you look carefully what lies beneath them. In a way, it makes me think that every single thing in this life is trying to communicate a consistent message, about goodness and our quest for it.
I also like her 'hourglass', which she wrote for her son. She has a beautiful family. Perhaps that's why she knows. :)
God bless good indie musicians. Deliver them from commercialization. May they be joyful in the things that matter the most.
