Change by Lana Del Rey

Posted on by mirimiristar

There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in softly
On the wings of a bomb
There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in hotly
And it’s coming in strong
Lately I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?
I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to wanna try but
Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time this song is done
I’ll be able
To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall when I don’t feel beautiful
Or stable
Maybe it’s enough to just be where we are because
Everytime that we run
We don’t know what it’s from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it
There’s a change gonna come
I don’t know where or when
But whenever it does
We’ll be here for it
There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in softly
On the wings of a song
There’s something in the water
I can taste it turning sour
It’s bitter, I’m coughing
But now it’s in my blood
Lately I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?
I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
‘Cause who am I to wanna try but

Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time this song is done
I’ll be able
To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall when I don’t feel beautiful
Or stable
Maybe it’s enough to just be where we are because
Everytime that we run
We don’t know what it’s from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it
There’s a change gonna come
I don’t know where or when
But whenever it does
We’ll be here for it
Hmmm
Yeah, whenever it does
We’ll be here for it
Hmmm
Whenever it does
We’ll be here for it

Such a beautiful song. Listen below:

Lana Del Rey : Queen of Indie Pop

Posted on by mirimiristar

Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, poet and music video director. Her music has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality, its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance, glamour, melancholia and its references to pop culture particularly 1950s and 1960s Americana . Wikipedia

Lana Del Rey is one of my favourite artists because she is the epitome
of beauty, glamour and powerful song. The wholesome purity in her voice
has an element of eeriness pleasant to the ear, harmonising with the 
emotion behind the lyrics. The richness of her voice is powerfully
heard throughout all of her songs, conjuring a feeling she is singing right 
next to you. Many of her songs have an underlying bittersweet 
demeanour as she touches upon tragic heart break, nostalgia and the 
issues surrounding modern society. I get the feeling she has based some of
her songs on personal experience but don’t quote me on this. 
If you are a clean bean then I am afraid there are some explicit content 
in some of her songs, so I would just avoid listening to them. 
But, the majority of songs are so beautiful, with epic instrumental
music, they move me and send 
shivers down my spine. I feel as though her music may be seen as sad 
but I believe they are uplifting in a funny, 
Lana Del Rey way. She certainly is a golden beauty. And her songs take my
breath away..

Footprints on the Path: Eileen Caddy

Posted on by mirimiristar

‘Eileen Caddy (1917-2006) is known worldwide as one of the three founders of the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. The books that have flowed from her inspiration have drawn multitudes to the Findhorn community. In her own person, Eileen Caddy , divinely ordinary as she described herself, has pushed the limits of the ordinary person’s experience to the very borders of the Kingdom of God.’

A passage for the soul, to kick start your day by Eileen Caddy

Wake up and live.

Set your sights high,
the higher the better.
Expect the most wonderful things to happen,
not in the future but right now.
Realise that nothing is too good.
Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you
or hold you up in any way.

Be enthusiastic about life.
It is a wonderful life;
make it so by your enthusiasm.

Learn to be very clear and definite
about what you desire in life;
never be vague or uncertain.
You can do all things,
you can be all things to all people
when you have faith and trust are in Me.
Have confidence in your ability to do all things
because you are drawing your substance,
your all, from Me.
I am your all in all.

Stride forward with a firm, steady step,
knowing with a deep, certain inner knowing 
that you will reach every goal you set yourself,
that you will achieve every aim.

You can soar to great heights
with hearts filled with praise and thanksgiving;
but like tiny lark, you have to take off from the ground,
you have to make that special effort .
It need not be a strain,
it can be a joyous light-hearted effort
which is an effortless effort

Once you are off the ground
up and up you can go with complete freedom.
Why remain anchored
when action on your part can change your life completely.

I was recommended to read Eileen Caddy by my dad. And what a warm, profound spiritual teacher and new age author she is. How she gently conveys clear cut messages regarding different areas in our lives, reminding us the potential we all have within ourselves to be our better selves. Her messages are a breath of fresh air to read and I will gladly display more of her messages in the latter stages of my blog. Keep your eyes peeled and feel Caddy happy.

Big Bang : KPOP kings

Posted on by mirimiristar

It’s been many years now up until this day I have loved and listened to KPOP, and it is especially the band Big Bang, whom have exploded with popularity across the world, they will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember discovering them around the time they released their ground breaking single ‘Haru Haru’ in 2008. Up until now, I have pretty much listened to all their music, even had the pleasure to attend the ‘Alive’ concert in London, 2012. I came alive. It was amazing. When it comes to song writing, and creating the music, these 5 boys know what they are doing. They never fail to produce catchy songs with an element of good rapping in most tracks, combined with spine tingling vocals! G-dragon (the leader), T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri each offer their own individuality and uniqueness to the table. It makes listening to their songs a memorable experience. Personally it’s hard to pick a favourite because they are oh so talented and unique. But I just have to specially commend G-dragon who is an amazing song writer and producer!! In my eyes, even though they have had their rocky moments in the public eye, nothing can replace the fact that they are legendary in the world of KPOP and I can only take my hat off to them out of thanks and much love to all of them for bringing much joy to me via their music. Pure hard work. Pure talent. 감사합니다. (BTS are good but Big Bang are amazing. Ooooo…..)
