I think I might have a serious Starbucksaddiction.
This summer I have seriously found myself in one nearly 4 times a week.
Yikes!
haha.
And, I mean, it's gotten to the point where I've started trying to frequent a different one in my area each time. But, alas, those Starbucks employees are loyally hard little workers. I've had no such luck in being unrecognized. So maybe I should just accept that I have an obsession and be able to reach the point where I can walk in and they'll be like:
"Oh heyyy, Kaitlyn! Iced chai or hot today?? How you doin'?"
Right now I am completely, totally, and utterly loving
Kate Miller-Heidke.
And her music has been playing here constantly.
Not only is she an extremely amazing singer, but she is also unique, real, and true to herself. I seriously loved her the moment I first heard her. And I do realize I seem to say that a lot on here...hmmm. I guess I just know when I love something/someone? It's a good thing, right?
Anyways, her voice is mesmerizing.
My current faves:
"Caught in the Crowd"
and"Last Day on Earth"
What do you think? Have/had you ever heard of her before?
I hope everyone is having a great week. I'm just swimming along here. Literally. I spend so much time at the neighborhood pool/tennis courts (with the kids I watch) that I feel like I missed my calling in life. I should have been a fish. ;)
How is it possible that I've never heard this song before today? And I thought myself a Story Of The Year fan! ;)

Now the damage has been done And this machine has begun on a path of destruction We need the medicine To reverse what's been done Before this disease has destroyed everything we know EVERYTHING WE KNOW!
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) All we need is right here inside us all
With our weapons drawn and all our resources gone We're facing extinction The only antidote consists of blood, sweat, and hope And a blueprint to save us from all that we've become ALL THAT WE'VE BECOME!
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) All we need is right here inside us all All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) All we need is right here inside us Here inside us all!
Yeah! Oh
Now the gears they will fail to turn As the lights go out And the sun will be all that burns on our way down (On our way down) But right now we have to understand the problem AND OVERCOME!
So arm yourself You'll mind your gun It's time to learn Accept what's done, and yeah REPAIR THIS DESTRUCTION!
ALL WE NEED IS A REASON ALL WE NEED IS RIGHT HERE INSIDE US All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) All we need is right here inside us all All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) All we need is right here inside us all (All we need is a reason) All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason) Whoooaaaa (All we need is a reason) All we need is a reason All we need is right here inside us Here inside us all!
Her voice enthralls me, her lyrics inspire me, and her melodies make me feel.
She is the complete package as far as singer/songwriters go, in my opinion. I fell in love with her about three years ago and it has remained an ongoing affair. I just...can't seem to get enough of her.
*Note: this is just a sampling of her music. If you find yourself as in awe as I am/was, please feel free to listen to her albums in their entirety. You won't regret it. :)
Three of my favorite faves:
"Ashes and Wine"
"You Picked Me"
And"Almost Lover"
Pleasepleaseplease look her up! Share the love!
So what do you think?
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Mine is going fantastically. ;)
