Coffee And Cigarettes.

I'm kind of sick today. And by that I mean, I just feel kind of "blah". You know that whole achy-not-up-to-par-but-not-completely-worthless feeling? Yeah, that's where I'm at. Luckily, I got out of work today because one of the girls said that she'd cover for me. It's about time, seeing as how I've covered for her a bunch. I still had to go in to work today though, to attend a meeting and go through my mentoring program. It's not that bad though, seeing as how my mentor is one of my super good friends. Makes it much easier and a whole lot less stressful, you know? Ah, it was just nice to have time to get a little better, even if it's just for one night.

So, Rachel is the winner for the first gold star challenge! And, since I never specified how to go about finding the answer, anything is up for grabs. It's all about being able to have fun with the music, and get others to listen to it too. I started a points tally along the right hand side of the page, and who ever's in the lead will be the top name. So, enjoy. In case you missed the answer, it was "Today Has Been OK" by Emiliana Torrini. There's just something that I love about this song. Talking about how there are so many hardships that come our way, but just taking it one day at a time makes it bearable. My favorite line is near the end, where she says, "...life has been insane, but today has been okay". That's just how I feel about 90% of the time, so to hear it in song makes things so much better and reassuring. Silly, I know.

So, today's blog title slash song challenge is one of my favorite songs. Not really sure why. Maybe it's the laid-back sound, or maybe it's the lyrics. After you figure out who the artist is, listen to the voice and read the lyrics (if you have the time). Amazing.

So, good luck. And I'll be back later.

Nope.
Keep looking.
But, I was considering putting an Anberlin song up this post.
It's like you're telepathic.
Or something.
