Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

I know I have been failing at these lately. It's hard to keep up when your personal computer is in shambles and you don't really want to get caught ignoring work, so please bare with me my very few readers.

A song that makes me fall asleep: "See you Soon"- Coldplay



I love everything about Coldplay. I love that I can find a song to fit every single one of my moods. When I read this song challenge--I didnt think of a song that bores me, thus making me fall asleep, but rather a song that helps me fall asleep. Whenever I have a hard time passing out at night (which is rare) I put coldplay quietly on my IPOD and set it near my pillow. Most Coldplay songs are calming and soothing--making sleep come sooner. I love their sound and this song especially. This live version is too good to be true. There's so much depth and emotion in this song. Calms and moves me all at once.

Enjoy!!

Summerstage!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of volunteering at Central Park's Summerstage concert series. Last night's performance was by a group called Complexions Contemporary Ballet. This wasn't like your conservative tutu-wearing ballet--the dancers were modern and loose. Their motive is to dance with no boundaries. It was beautiful and moving and I loved every minute of it.

My job as a volunteer was to attend the stand at the entrance and hand out programs and Summerstage schedules. I also had to ask for donations-seeing that without donations there would be no Summerstage at all. All the events held there are free except for a few larger acts, but overall its a wonderful experience on a cheap budget. I met some awesome people, all with the same goals/major, hoping that volunteering at Summerstage would better their opportunities in the real world. I also got to watch the show while working--so fun!! i Felt like I was back in college and was a member of the Crew in SCPAB again :)

Overall it was a great night. SO many donations--I was surprised honestly. In a tough economy and at a free event in NYC, I seriously didn't expect to see many people donating over a dollar. However we had various people hand in 20's, 10's and 5's! Not going to lie it made me smile and I was happy that people wanted to support the arts and Summerstage! Also the event brought all walks of life. I was expecting an older more mature crowd at a ballet, but there was all ages at this event. It was brilliant! My favorite piece was their U2 compilation called 'Rise.' After having a crappy day, this piece brighten my spirits. I loveee U2 and the dance they created to go along to it was beautiful.

Such a fine time, I suggest everyone to get out to Summerstage and enjoy a free event this summer! Most of all- DONATE :)

Titanic + Arabic instruments= heaven.

I think I have found a new obsession: weddings. I know you gasp thinking "Omg, you're not thinking of marriage are you?"" Answer is: Hell no. However, I love wedding ceremonies, pictures, design, dresses, creativity, flowers, music. EVERYTHING about weddings warms my heart and soul.

This song above will be what I walk down the aisle to. If my husband doesn't like it than he can suck it. It's the freakin Titanic song in an Arabic instrumental version. I'm DYING.
