Tuesday Tune: 'You and I' - Ingrid Michaelson


You've probably heard something from New York Indie singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson on one of your fave TV shows; her stuff has been featured on many of them including Grey's Anatomy, The Big C, Vampire Diaries and so the list goes on. She's never signed to a label even though proving rather popular.

This song is where my head goes when I'm lazing around with Blue Eyes.



Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do want bunnies do with you if you know what I mean

Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Tuesday Tune: Sara Bareilles 'Stay'

I came across this beautiful piece when checking out Cape Town blogger Being Brazen's lovey-dovey music mix - i guess I'm being a little soppy of late, so forgive me, but this song is lovely.



Ayyy
Ehhh
Saturday
Empty room
Filled with people
Don't mean a thing to you and I
Holding hands, nobody knows
Nobody understands
I don't care for sunlight
It only means it's over
I'm in no mood for that
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
Say it, say that we'll be all right
If we stay tonight

My hands are shaking
This is a complicated love for me
Keep your eyes closed
You've seen it baby

You've seen where this goes, oh
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
Say that we'll be all right
If we stay tonight
Gonna feel it baby, oh
I don't wanna cry
I know we'll get to tomorrow
And say goodbye
That's why I ask you for tonight
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
But say that we'll be all right
(Say that we'll be all right)
Say that we're gonna be all right
Tonight.

Saturday Night, hope you've got a date

And I hope if she keeps you waiting, it's because she's putting on something really good-looking ;)

Movember, get your 'tache on!

So it's that time of year where boys feel the need to try be manly and compete in a war of the coolest 'tache. Some are perfectly groomed, some are rather gross and lots are 'have a gold star for effort *cough bum fluff*. However, all this weird facial hair growing does have a really good purpose - to raise awareness of and funds for testicular and prostate cancers. So guys, give it bash and girls try not be too grossed out - although, it's a great month to spend good quality time with your besties and leave the boys to be :P
