I love this song, from the moment i saw the ad it’s stuck.

that’s what i’ve been thinking lately. when are things are right, they’re simple. and they’re good.

so for people who watched idol last week, you would have seen Beyonce debut her latest single One Plus One. Here’s a clip of her rehearsing it backstage before the actual performance. This diva doesn’t need no autotune.

I’ve just discovered something from Faure that I absolutely love. Cantique de jean Racine, composed when he was only 19. This is as lovely as his Requiem. Listen and tell me this doesn’t touch your heart.

In college many many many years ago I was a huge Sarah McLachlan fan and before the final exams I’d hole up in the study room tackling Maths equations while listening to her on the CD player (yes it was that long ago).

Today was pretty hectic at work and right now I’m not really feeling the best but as the evening wound down I suddenly thought of this song and a strange calm descended when I replayed it. It’s like I was transported back to being 19 again and feeling bold and brave and brash, like everything could be conquered.

Trying to be more disciplined about exercise so I’m glad I didn’t cop out when my alarm buzzed at 6.15am this morning. Rolled out of bed and got to the gym by 7am and we did squats, deadlifts and tons of compound sets targeting the shoulders. Yesterday was an hour and a half on the cross trainer, with John Legend on the ipod. Yes, I’m still on a JL high from the weekend, where Shree and I were shaking our booties for about four hours straight. Too much jumping because I woke up with stiff knees the next morning. And tomorrow, tennis! I hope we get great weather because I’m dying to ~~try my new skirt~~ play.

Anyhoo today’s song is another one featuring the Legend, although technically it is a Kanye West work. I still love it and he did it so well on Saturday.

5.20pm and I’m rushing to file by deadline and suddenly Barber’s Adagio for Strings streams through the speakers. For the next five minutes, it’s like time stands still.
