Back to the Grind

A few things brought about today’s song post.  First, as mentioned in the last post, I am really into these African drums right now.  Second, the song “The Dog Days are Over” by Florence + The Machine features the same kind of percussion and I was really inspired by her hypnotic voice and the feast of interesting images in the video.  Lastly, I noticed many comments on social networking sites these last couple of days about the “countdown” to vacation and it made me think of what everyone is going to say when they have to “go back” when vacation is over.  It just seems like down time offers people the greatest possibility for catching glimpses of beautiful visions for their life and for humanity.  But, the visions slip away when the time comes to go ….Back to the Grind.

Dear Faythe,

I don’t want to give any anecdotal notes on this one.  I will simply say it is a letter to an old friend.  Also, I wanted to share that I have recently fallen in love with the kind of percussion you’ll hear in this song–Dear Faythe.  So much so, that you will most likely be hearing them again very soon.  I think they add drama and everyone needs a little drama now and then:).
