DARING TO BE

I walked down the aisle to this song in December.

It's embarassing that I'm just posting November's track of the month now, in January.

Two months from now, I'm getting married. 

I really wanted to choose Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" as September's track of the month because my carpool listened to it so often during our commute from small town SK back to the city and it is so darn catchy. But I was worried because I am a teacher and, well, it alludes to school shootings. 

But then I went to Royal Wood last Thursday and he played a cover of "Pumped Up Kicks":

That cemented the song as track of the month. Plus, I decided that isn't that part of artistic license? The ability to take something horrible and make it beautiful? 

The finale of Regina Folk Festival 2011 included a cover of this song. I watched it with the man I love(d) by my side.

He's no longer mine, so I'm listening to this on repeat as my heart heals.

"Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing gonna be alright." ♥

July was a busy month. Love being a teacher and having it off! 

I knew I loved this song within the first 30 seconds of listening.

So, despite it only being the 5th of June it has to be named track of the month because I already know I will be playing it over and over and over.
