im back.

did you miss me? well, when you fall far away it usually takes something to pull you back. or in my world, something to inspire me. and today, i found just what i've been missing.....

rachael yamagata's new album - elephants... seeking teeth into heart. i have no excuse as to why its taken me three months to finally take a listen (let's use the excuse "i've been super busy") which is partially true and i have also just been distracted.

as i am sitting here listening to my soul being translated via ms. yamagata, i recognize a styling that is way too familiar to me. the track is "duet" and i wasn't even sure if there was going to be someone singing with her... and what do you know? none other than ray lamontagne is right there beside her. i knew it. i knew it reminded me of "can i stay" and i have heard this all before. well, my heart knew it.

this album reminds me of what it is to feel again. its been a long time coming but im happy to finally be back.

not to mention... how hot are her bangs and dark hair? i havent found my nerve yet to go to the dark side.. but she sure is inspiring. im just wondering about happenstance and life and love and finally i feel that things are heading in the right direction. i spin around a lot and get confused, but maybe what im truly missing is down the road.
