Song of the Day: Heavy In Your Arms by Florence And The Machine

An utterly gorgeous song not diminished in the least by having *just* discovered that it was made for one of the Twilight films.

"This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing 
Whispering like it's a secret 
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart"

Song of the Day: Selah by Lauryn Hill

I've liked this song for years. It's a song I like to listen to when it's gloomy or melancholy. I have a memory of coming down with a cold one day early in my exchange term and just shutting off from the world for hours in my darkened room with the curtains drawn and this song on repeat while intermittently sipping tea.

The thing with music is that sometimes a song simply serves as an indulgence ... and then there are nights like tonight when I feel the lyrics very deeply.
