I’ve been feeling stifled creatively lately. Not sure why, but I have a definite sense of renewed life. I’ve been thinking about creating so much in the past two weeks. Creating music, having kids, creating a beautiful backyard, creating a life with my partner. Where is this need to create coming from? I’ve been slightly obsessed with this song called Jar of Hearts….I’m not quite sure why, but the melody and words just really hit me hard. I downloaded the song, found the chords on the piano to play it, and it plays over and over in my head. Maybe the words have such an impact because they talk about being strong and moving on with life….it’s angry too….
Who do you think you are running around leaving scars? Collecting your jar of hearts….who do you think you are?
I’m the first to admit I love suicidal lesbian singer song writer music…and it is dramatic…but I still love it. I love the story behind this song too. It was featured on So You Think You Can Dance because the choreographer was friends with a girl who knew the artist and pitched it to her. The choreographer loved it and the SYTYCD producers approved it and now it’s in the top 10 on Itunes. Even cooler than this, Christina Perri is her name, was a waitress, with no album or agent and now everyone is talking about her. You NEVER know how life will happen. I’m sure she held onto her vision and the Universe provided. Amazing. We’re not in control…..
