Happy Saturday readers! I cannot believe it has already been a week since I have been back from Poland. Time is flying! I have mixed feelings about this, but won't get into that now. This post is dedicated to music today and boy do I have something good lined up for you. So, a few weeks ago, the owner of the American Café let me borrow a DVD to watch because I was tired of all of mine. I chose "Away We Go" with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. It is a terribly cute movie that explores the definition of "family." I would totally recommend renting/buying it immediately (Warning: You must enjoy quirky independent-type films to appreciate this movie). The icing on the cake for me was the soundtrack. I fell in love with it. When I looked it up on iTunes, I discovered that one artist had done the whole thing. I love this concept. If you have ever seen "Into the Wild" (Eddie Vedder) or "Dan in Real Life" (Sondre Lerche) then you know what a fabulous addition a single artist soundtrack is to a film. Every song belongs and it really helps the story to flow. The soundtrack to "Away We Go" was done by Alexi Murdoch. It's a little bit folksy, highly reflective, and so easy to get swept up in. He has so many fantastic songs out, but today's choice is called "Orange Sky." Now have a listen and tell me you haven't found the next addition to your music library.
PS, listen to the entire album and watch the movie too! :)
Peace, Love, and Waffles.
