48 hours of rain and a movie about atrocities of Dachau have left me in a reflective mood. So I am just going to close my eyes, lie back on the couch and listen to MEL. Give it a try. You might like it.

I will finish writing my race report from the Canadian Death Race by the end of this week. I promise. In the meantime, here is a musical interlude brought to you by the Rural Albertan Advantage. Appropriate, no?

I love to listen to this song before I go to sleep. The lyrics evoke such strong imagery as the tempo builds to a subtle but powerful crescendo. Somehow it just sends me off to sleep.
Ps. All you fans of the TV show Six Feet Under will enjoy this video clip.
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there’s no-one else to blameBe my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Breathe Me by Sia

Liberty Cap & Nevada Falls from the John Muir Trail in Yosemite
When you open up your tired eyes
And take a look at what’s inside
The mirror on your wall tells you the truth
You’re exactly where you wanna be
There is no room for streams of tears
The sun is shining down, the clouds have cleared
Could you be the one for me?
“Could you be the one for me” by the Stereophonics

I like to dedicate every race to someone in my life. Since the New Balance Victoria Half Iron was on Fathers Day this past weekend, I dedicated that race to my father. And here is the Fathers Day song that I had in my head all day long as I raced for my poppa.
Papa Can You Hear Me by N-Dubz
Papa if you can hear me (if you hear me)
If only you, knew what you went and done (went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me (if you hear me)
See all i know is, I’m proud to be your son (to be your son)
Papa if you can hear me

Love Love Love
Love Love LoveMe & my friend were walking
In the cold light of mourning.
Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain’t what it seems.Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.Love Love Love is stronger than death.
Love Love Love is stronger than death.In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.
All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.
But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak
“How could you believe that the life within the seed
that grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat.
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried.
Could ever die?”Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.Love Love Love is stronger than death.
Love Love Love is stronger than death.Shall rise. Shall rise.
Shall rise. Shall rise.

I heard this beautiful country love song this past weekend while I was trail running up in Grande Cache Alberta. Gosh those cowboys are a romantic lot…

Bettye is so powerful that she brought tears to Pete Townshend’s eyes when he listened to her interpretation of this classic song by The Who. This song is included on Bettye’s new album entitled, “Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook“.

Very clever mash-up that uses the error sounds from Windows XP to create music. The problem for me is that those sounds still strike fear into my consciousness every time I hear them.

Paloma Faith’s deep throaty voice is what makes this song work for me, transforming it from Akon’s misogynist tripe to something slow and soulful.
They say: “She low down…”
It’s just a rumour I don’t believe ‘em!
They say: “She needs to slow down…”
The *baddest* thing around town!She’s nothing like a girl you’ve ever seen before!
Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood whore!
I’m tryinna find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful!!!
