The Solace of "On Growing"

"It's okay to fall down; there is much to be learned from the ground."

Bekah Kelso's "On Growing" is one of my favorite songs. The entire thing was written on the theme, from the lyrics to the steadily expanding soundtrack that ends in an inspiring, bombastic reveal. If you're looking for something to pull you out of bed in the morning, I'd recommend giving it a try.

The solace in "Surrender"

Now and then I come across a song that knocks me over in a positive way. In this case, the video is also a powerful statement. The song is called "Surrender" by MALINDA, and is a story of post traumatic stress disorder in sound and motion.

I can't fully describe how much I love this song. It's almost as if it came out of my own brain - including how said brain has, at times, thrashed about in a fashion similar to the dancing in the video. It will be an important signpost in my journey for life.

If you haven't seen it, you can check it out below, or you can buy the CD.
