Song of the Day

Carol of the Bells - Pentatonix

I just ran 10km so I'm exhausted and I'm not gonna write much. CHRISTMAS TOMORROW WOOOO!!!!! So if you've been following this blog, then you'd probably know I'm a total Pentaholic, so it seems fitting that I end the Christmas-themed songs of the day with a Pentatonix song.

They never cease to blow my mind with their arrangements and Carol of the Bells is no different. Whilst Christmas shopping, I've heard a few other versions of this song, but none seem to measure up to this one.

I'm extremely exhausted so I'm going to end this post here. I wish you all a merry christmas and a safe and happy new year :D

Much Love <3

Song of the Day

Winter Song - Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson

After yesterday, I wanted to get back into the Christmas theme since 2 SLEEPS TO GO!!!! *SQUEEEEEEEEEE*

I love this song. Two of my favourite artists in the same song, who could pass up on that? But seriously, this song is amazing in it's own right.

This is the first true Christmas love song I've posted about (yes, I know Love is Christmas is about love too, but I don't really count it because it's a different kind of love, not relationship love).

It's a very sad and beautiful. It's full of love and winter analogies on whether things can grow in the cold of winter, or whether they can still thrive. 

Winter Song was written for the Hotel Cafe christmas album, Winter Songs. Sara and Ingrid have performed it live on Jay Leno and at during the 2010 US National Christmas Tree Lighting. The sang has also been featured on Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy and Brothers and Sisters.

Can't believe Christmas has come so fast... wowee has this year passed quickly!

Song of the Day

Peppermint Winter - Owl City

Like Love is Christmas I really, truly think this song captures another part of Christmas. I think this song brings out the child in all of us when it comes to Christmas. Adam sings about the childish excitement leading up to Christmas and the morning when you tear down the hallway to the tree to open your presents and see what Santa left you this year.

Although we don't have a white Christmas in Australia, the 3 year old kid can still totally relate to this song. I love it, it's fun and captures a child's innocent excitement at this time of year.

And the sleigh bells are just a bonus :)

Have I mentioned I love Christmas?

Song of the Day

Love is Chirstmas - Sara Bareilles

I had a sudden urge to so a post on a Christmas song, so I'm doing one on one of my all-time favourite Christmas songs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sara Bareilles and this song.... just...

I have so many feels.

I feel like this song perfectly captures the essence of Christmas and what it truly means. It's a hauntingly beautiful song that I listen to year round, because I can. Sara sings about how Christmas isn't defined by lots of presents, or a big feast. It's defined by being surrounded by people who love you and giving the same amount of love back.

I love Christmas so much. Even if i can never spell it right.
