all this time

six on the second hand
to new year's resolution
and there's just no question
what this man should do
take all the time lost
all the days that I cost
take what I took and
give it back to you

all this time we've been waiting for each other
all this time I was waiting for you
we got all these words can't waste them on another
so I'm straight 
in a straight line
running back to you

something to hit you right in the emotions

it's so stirring

and powerful


the conflicting and mingling agendas and yet they form a common melody


and yeah I technically posted this song before but I just really love Les Mis right now okay

i wanna see you be brave

I just

I don't listen to mainstream artists, really

I can't even spell the chick's name

But this song is gorgeous

christmas in september

I'm not even a Christmas-Music-All-Year-Round kind of person.

But this song, this version, just makes me so stinkin happy.

Don't it make you feel like dancing and hugging someone?

when the words become true

Have you ever discovered a song that wrenches your heart in a new way?

I learned this song over the weekend, and it is a beautiful song of worship.

what to do with the time that is given to us

Whether or not you've seen the films or read the books, this song is utterly moving. Just like the track Hope and Memory, which I heard and learned to love ages before ever watching the movies. 

What's your favorite LOTR soundtrack?

renegade

The rest of the song would be nothing without the intro.

Complete ear happiness.

with our backs to the wall

An epic song that has nothing to do with love or relationships. It's a treasure these days.

i used to be my own protection

it's sad because of the instruments

it's sad because there's ash and winter and dissatisfied clouds and heartless wind

and it's even sadder when you realize it's about a funeral



and then you find out that the singer's dad died on a valentine's day
