monday music: the decemberists cover heart

Hopefully at some point this summer, I will get to experience The Decemberists live. And hopefully it will be something like this.

How awesome is Shara Worden anyway?

I stumbled upon this blog via Unruly Things this afternoon, and I'm so glad I did. Looking at Lena's gorgeous pictures from her recent trip to Paris reminded me that it will be four years ago this month that I visited there for the first time! I loved pretty much everything about the city and it makes me feel incredibly wistful (in a good way) to be reminded how dear that place is to me. Here's hoping I get to return someday!

Remember when I posted about Alela Diane way back when? Well, if you enjoyed her voice, then you might want to check out the new cd from Headless Heroes entitled, The Silence of Love. It's a dreamy, themed album of covers done by Diane and other artists and it's truly a beautiful collection. Check out one of my favorite songs off of the album below.
