I am writing this VERY early before work. Life is busy BUSY at the moment and I am getting nowhere near the required EIGHT hours of sleep a night that I vitally need to function as an adult. Gone are the days of afternoon NAPS. Sigh...(although actually this past Sunday I managed to sneak in one - bliss I tell you, bliss). Anyway, I do not see this period of 'busyness' letting up anytime soon, the result is I find myself somewhat miserable. Ridiculous to think that even as a capable TWENTY FOUR year old I get antsy over not enough sleep. Anyway. I was reminded by my dear friends (oh how I wish. Obnoxious much!), NEEDTOBREATHE that I need 'More Heart, Less Attack'. What a line. WHAT A LINE.
Slow to anger quick to laugh,
Be the wanderer that’s coming back,
Quick to let go slow to react,
Be more heart and less attack.
NEEDTOBREATHE are one of those bands that I stumbled upon not too long ago and yet I can sing (in my head only and occasionally out loud in the shower if I am certain I am alone in the flat) every song by HEART. Their lyrics are essentially powerful and backed by the gentle strumming of great acoustic guitars. Without trying too hard this group of American musicians take you in and get you to think about things in just an ever so slightly different way.
My very favourites... (found it impossible to cut down to just SIX!!)
More Heart, Less Attack - NEEDTOBREATHE
Oohs and Ahhs - NEEDTOBREATHE (if you pick one, pick this one...)
Looks Like Love - NEEDTOBREATHE
Drive All Night - NEEDTOBREATHE
Something Beautiful - NEEDTOBREATHE
Keep Your Eyes Open - NEEDTOBREATHE
