My first song cover: A Team

Hey everyone, 
Here's my first song cover I uploaded on Youtube. The song is one of my favorites: A Team originally sung by Ed Sheeran. Now I have no idea what the lyrics of this song actually means -- haha -- I just love the acoustics, the feel, the tone, and the roughness of Ed's voice. This song is one of those songs I'll listen to when I'm blue and the song itself will perfectly describe how I'm feeling.

 Don't you just love that, when a song perfectly captures the essence of the present. 

Excuse my tempo, mispronounciations, and off-key notes. I know the cover is so imperfect but singing it perfectly was not my goal. I just wanted to capture the essence of my feeling and that song at that exact moment. So here I am sharing it with you.

I've Been Loving: Life Happens by Brandon and Leah

Life Happens by Brandon and Leah

This song is so underrated. The song is just so good and the music video SO deserves much more views. Its just a gorgeous song, gorgeous music video; beautifully written,sung, and shot.
So please go check out this song. I promise you'll love it.


The song is about how life is all the good and bad, the ups and down. Life happens. Its a simple statement yet so universally true. Life happens. 

Life happens
While you're making other plans
Life happens
While you're trying to understand
You'll be kicking it in the shade
And you're thinking you got it made
Life is gonna happen to you anyway

It's All In the State of Mind

A classmate read this poem in class and I loved it. So here goes...

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win but think you can't
its almost a cinch you won't
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will
Its all in the state of mind
If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can ever win the prize
Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
