It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?

Seuss here, took the words right out of my mouth! Time!!! You are sifting through my fingers faster than ever and it's scary as hell. But, on a happier note, I have decided to end this slight (slight!?) retreat from lets waltz. There are a lot of reasons why my blogging activity ceased this fall, but the fact of the matter is that I have risen from the dead. Yes, I know, finally.
If you have read my blog before, you will have most likely noticed of my love for Vincent Moon and his take away shows (he has my dream job. Fact.) So, I am going to stick with the tried and true and reanimate this space by posting a new video that I recently came across that has begun to mean a whole bunch to me.
This is First Aid Kit. They always warm my heart ever since I discovered them back in the spring. You may have heard their lovely cover of Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant, but this video in particular just screams "watch me, watch me, i will Really warm your heart!" First of all, I hadn't heard of either of the songs they play, which was a delightful treat and second, there is just something about the way the shots are pieced together. The girls are just so real and so incredibly talented. These two teenage Swedish sisters, with their brilliant harmonies, their folky charm, their messy hair, baggy sweaters and all, reminds me, more than anything, of my beautiful, beautiful sister Lauren ( especially because we both secretly wish we were them).
So, this is dedicated to you, Laur. I know you will enjoy this oh so very much- if you haven't already seen it.
