Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give, you’re an employee. If you want the unseen world, you’re not living your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you’ll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is love’s confusing joy.

Sufi Whirling Dervishes
Someday I’d like to see some Whirling Dervishes in person.. Someday.
Playing on Repeat.
Etta James
It’s easy for me to remember where I was the first time I heard Etta James sing ‘I’d rather go blind’. I was sitting on the floor of Dave Sitek’s Brooklyn loft probably 6 years ago. He said he had something I should hear and proceeded to play that song. I recall feeling paralyzed by her voice, completely stunned. When it was done I asked him if we could hear it again...

chrystalizedsince97 asked: What songs are you listening to right now?
kts2cents-deactivated20110925 asked: how will you make music if you're selling all your keyboards? i'm worried/fascinated. Is your house like a mary poppins bag of keyboards/a magician's never-ending scarf of keyboards/an olive garden soup, salad and breadstick lunch of keyboards (etc.)? Or are you simply keeping only the special keyboards?

The Pledge Isn't Over!
Even though we’ve hit 100% the pledge isn’t over, far from it! I feel like there has been some confusion about this. THE PLEDGE IS NOT OVER! Now that we have hit 100%, 10% of anything else raised goes to ‘I Live Here’, a wonderful charity that I think you should all know about. Their current project is building a school in a juvenile prison in Malawi, Africa. To find out...
everybodyelserefrained-deactiva asked: Hi, Holly!
I really love your music, so I'd like to participate of your pledge.
The problem is: I live in Brazil. So, if I buy one copy of your CD in the pledge, will it be delivered at my place?

Pelican Rapids Lyrics
Holly Miranda - Pelican Rapids(poolhouse mix) by holly miranda
Pelican Rapids
There’s a way you want it to be
There’s a way it will never be
and Where you are
and What you do
is never enough reason to be sorry
Why do you?
Why do you do?
and There’s nothing wrong with the way you feel
and Everything will be alright if i could just hold on to you
A few of you have...
This One is for The Lovers.
thanks to ambrosia for this gem.
