For awhile I lived with a wonderful girl, Hilary, who had great taste in music and let me borrow her cd’s anytime I wanted.  Sadly my access to her music ended when she moved away from Bellingham.  Pandora and other people’s blogs are how I now find most of the “new” music I listen too.  If not for these two resources, I’d be stuck listening to the newest Rhianna songs (kill me now) or listening to country radio constantly.

I recently heard Cloud Cult’s You’ll Be Bright on this blog and instantly fell in love.  It has a beautiful sound and a wonderful message.  It reminds me so much of my community of friends.  We’re all well out of undergrad and have moved on to “adult” life, but I think we all still have a lot of wonder about what life is supposed to look like.  I’m definitely in this category as I plunge forward into applying for grad school (finally) and I have found nothing but support from my friends.  We all want the best for each other – a satisfying job, a loving community (family or friends), good health (something that cannot be taken for granted in our group), a life filled with laughter and love and hope and peace.  And these are the thoughts I have when listening to this song.  I hope you enjoy it too.
