Unknown Legend

I happened to catch the greater end of Rachel Getting Married recently. Even though I haven't been keeping up with my love of film lately, this one scene has made up for all that I've been lacking. So, I finally got a chance to watch it in its entirety. Seeing the movie from the beginning only makes this moment much more beautiful, genuine, and worth the time spent watching this dysfunctional family pull through for love. I may just be a sucker for glimpses into others' dysfunctionality, but this, nonetheless, is pure, raw beauty. Why this movie didn't get more credit is beyond me.

Held by a Thread

As much as this Taylor Swift phenomenon has me cringing with every song of hers released on the radio, I decided to (somewhat randomly) give this song a thorough listen. It's given me a completely different view on Ms. Swift. The song has layers of emotions which are pulled away, verse by verse, accompanied by the melody of the guitar. An added bonus is that she supposedly writes her own music, which gives a genuine sense of true feeling throughout the song(s). Not to cheese it up, but when lyrics tend to coincide with what you're feeling or have been through, the music makes it seem that much more personable. I'll admit - it was the opening bending of notes that reeled me in. Enjoy for what it's worth.
