Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl [Official Video]

Every song by Mr. Sheeran I discover sounds better than the last. Now, with my love of Irish music, this was "sings" loudly to me. Anyway, enjoy!

Sandra Bacchi's "Watermelons Are Not Strawberries"

Sandra Bacchi is a Pittsburgh based photographer and cinematographer. I discovered her current project, "Watermelons Are Not Strawberries" via Edge of Humanity Magazine . ‘Watermelons Are Not Strawberries’ is a work-in-progress, as I continually seek to better understand myself and increase my awareness of how I react to challenges related to my experiences as a mother. The photos reveal to me how uncertain and obscure my life became with motherhood. At the same time, there is an undeniable clarity in how my daughters lead the way for me to follow a brighter path as I journey through my everyday life. This is my favorite image from this collection. I adore how the girl's dress blends so well with the tree's summer-lit leaves. Also check out We Are All In This Together , another of her collections.

The Cure's "A Forest" and the Evolution of a Band

I've heard this song countless times. Today, Youtube popped this up in the recommended list and I happily listened. Seeing other versions in the sidebar from 1979, 1981, and 1992 made me wonder about how different each one sounded. I enjoyed witnessing the evolution of Robert Smith's personal style as well. Below is the 1979 version, which has a more traditional punk vibe (it says something that I can say "traditional" and "punk" without any sense of irony). This one is from 1981. Not a huge transition, but I notice a less punk style and something that becomes much more recognized as The Cure.   By 1992, we have a clearly distinctive style that is The Cure, and not confusable with anyone else.   Thanks for giving a few minutes of your journey through the vast wasteland that is the internet. Let me know what you think in the comments, and give me a share, if you're so led.

Night

Darkness shrouds my windows Cool air slowly dissipating  The day's heat All my house asleep Though voices drift in Through the open windows I should sleep, but know the  Vanity of such endeavors At least at the moment So I stare at this screen Type a poem Envisioning the coolness Soon to come Please come check out more of my poetry at Questionsall.net
