They’re not new in the music scene, but who in their right mind could forget these sisters?
They first rose to fame with that Call Your Girlfriend cover. Now, they’re all grown up and starring in Nashville. Because you know, skillz.

MUSIC MONDAY: I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)
I really have to thank Spotify for my new favorite songs. If I didn’t download that app, I’d be stuck with Air Supply all my life (although you have to admit that’s not bad at all).
Although Le Beau has already picked the world’s most perfect song as our first dance, he still asked me to give my own input. But really, there’s no competing with the song he chose; it was so us! I had to try though, the window of opportunity being there already.
So I stumbled upon Sleeping At Last’s cover of I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), the original by The Proclaimers. This is one of those Super Bowl songs, and I never really listened to it till now. My effort of not being too mainstream.
I am just so in love with it. I’ve always loved that song, but thanks to that episode in How I Met Your Mother, I feel like the meaning of the song was somehow diluted to a mere driving ballad.
This song is just abundant in love, devotion and commitment.
Of course, it still lost to Le Beau’s selection, being too slow to slow dance to. But now, we have another song to add to our playlist.
And so far, it’s our best find yet.
MUSIC MONDAY: Budapest
Okay, I know this is not a new song, but it hasn’t been long since I first heard it.
I remember it clearly, too. I decided to start taking this health thing seriously so for the past couple of weeks, I took extra strides to sleep early, wake up early, and workout. I’ve been packing lunch too, but that’s for a completely different post. Ever since I’ve made that change, I have to admit the hours at the office don’t seem that long anymore.
And get this: I’ve also cut down my coffee consumption. I KNOW RIGHT. I really didn’t think it was possible, but I am now down to max of 20 ounces per day. It’s still a lot for most, but for me, that’s already half of what I usually drink.
Anyway, back to the song. I just finished doing my morning routine, Spotify playing in the background, and then this song came on:
My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I, I’ll up and runOh, to you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I’d leave it all
It didn’t really sink in at first, but I am about to leave it all. It almost seemed poetic but it’s more literal, this song. Perhaps the only treasure I am most definitely sure of bringing with me are my books, but that’s about it. I can leave everything behind, and run to you.
Leave it all.
For you.
I think I have the wedding giggles.
Have a great day, loves. <3
