Song of the Month for September!

I know I've been a little slack on the posting lately, but I have three things to post about, so there IS more coming, I promise. Boy do I have things to talk about :P I feel like all I do these days is work and commute, although there have been adventures in dry cleaning and yoga this week, as well as copious amounts of Grey's Anatomy, so it's not all been about work. It's just been busy!

I just noticed, however, that it's September 25th and I'm really running out of time for the Song of the Month, so we're going to take care of that first!

The Song of the Month for September is "Be Ok" by Ingrid Michaelson. I have a bit of a love affair happening with Ingrid Michaelson, because her lyrics are so relatable for me. The more I watch Grey's Anatomy, the more songs I recognize from her CD, which makes me feel more relatable to others as well. Songs like "Corner of Your Heart" and "Starting Now" have that impact of "oh... you mean, I'm NOT alone in feeling like this?!" It's "the awesome" as my younger, cooler friends would say :P

Anyway, "Be Ok" is a new single (which she released to support Stand Up To Cancer ) and it's totally fun and good and OHBOY I can relate. As I'm staring at my phone, willing it to buzz.. buzz, damn you, BUZZ... the lyrics go through my head:

"Open me up and you will see I'm a gallery of broken hearts, I'm beyond repair, let me be, and give me back my broken parts!"

But the tune is so bouncy, you kind of have to dance in spite of yourself! Then when my phone, eventually, sometime, buzzes, I'm swamped with relief and take it all back. Because? I'm crazy. But you already knew that.

Anyway, take a listen and enjoy! For those of you who have eMusic accounts, it's available for download on there! Yayyyyy! Then you too can walk around singing "I just wanna be ok, be ok, be ok, I just wanna be okay today!" And you will. Trust me.



Love,
Gillian
