I am trying to build a better self, to move from survival mode to something more fulfilling. And resist turning this into a kitty blog.

Entries in heartless bastards (1)

Things are coming into focus...

I love too much music to be able to truly commit and label any single band as my "favorite." That said, my favorite band is Heartless Bastards.  Erika Wennerstrom gives word and voice to feelings and ideas I am only partially aware of until I she plays and sings them.

The songs resonate with me so strongly, that I've adopted "Into The Open" (a song on the 2006 album, "All This Time") as my personal anthem. I've seen Heartless Bastards live twice: once this year in Portland, OR; and once in May of last year at my favorite local music venue, The Casbah.

So when I decided to look for a good video of Heartless Bastards playing "Into the Open" in honor of trying to re-launch my journey of self-discovery and whatnot, imagine my joy at finding them playing MY song at the Casbah the night I was there. What?! Yes! It's amazing! Kismet! Destiny! Listen right now!

 

 (the intro to the actual song starts at about 55 seconds, and goes until about 5+ minutes into the video)
