Pinocchio Will Never Be the Same...

Today, I just had a fun memory of something my younger brother had said as a little kid. You know how kids say the darndest things... In my family we have many memories like this one, of hilarious things that my siblings and I have said when we were little.

But of all the funny things we laughed about over and over again, one of my favorites has to be the time when my brother was singing along to Pinocchio. We were listening to him hum and sing the words to the song "There Are No Strings on Me" but instead of these words from the chorus, it came out: "THE RHINO STINKS ON ME!"

 

 

Just a small fun memory... but I bet you will never listen to that song the same way AGAIN! I know that I sure haven't.... ;) 

Happy Valen-tunes! ♥

I recently found this song from Kina Grannis on Spotify. It's a cute little song for Valentine's Day and I looked up the music video for it. Her videos are fun and creative!

This is my favorite song of hers! My mom showed me this video a long time ago and it has always been one of my favorites! It took 1,357 hours and 288,000 jelly beans to make it! Definitely a fun one! I will post these 2 songs on my playlist for February! ♥

The Head and the Heart

So as I said, I will definitely be writing a lot about music. Music is an important thing in my life. I took piano lessons for 10 years and I have played the organ for church for the last 4 years or so. Very rarely, (and I mean rarely-maybe once in every 6 months) will I go without music while I'm driving. I think that if my radio were to break, I would go crazy! I am in love with Spotify and have a giant 1,100 (more or less) random song playlist that I am constantly updating. I listen to it while I am picking out my clothes for the day, while I am fixing my hair, when it's quiet at work, or when I'm browsing Facebook and Pinterest. I am one of those people who probably wishes that life had its own background music. (As long as it was playing something I really liked, and wasn't overplayed. ;) )

Getting back on track here...I would now like to introduce a group that I found a while ago. Introducing...The Head and the Heart!

 

 

Yeah I know, you probably haven't heard of them. Not very many people have. Sometimes I feel like I am the one designated to make them more popular. They are a small group from Seattle and sing folk, indie rock type of songs.

 

I found out about them when I was flipping through channels one night. I stopped on BYUtv for a minute to see if this band sounded any good, and I finished watching the rest of the episode! I really liked how unique they were! I checked out their CD at the library, and I loved it! (You can check out the episode here: http://www.byutv.org/watch/8f193803-a523-48c1-834d-152bcaacfedf/audio-files-the-head-and-the-heart)

 

Since they are pretty different, there might not be very many people that say they really like them. But I definitely think they sound better than some of the other groups you hear on the radio now! They remind me a little of 'Of Monsters and Men' or 'The Lumineers'. I got their first CD for Christmas. They released a second CD earlier this year, but I haven't listened to much of the songs. I haven't decided if I like it yet. If you are looking for some music that's a little different from what you usually listen to, I suggest listening to some of their stuff! Starting in January, I will post a whole bunch of their songs on my playlist, so check it out!
