MOVE OVER, POST SECRET!

THIS is my latest obsession, all things Ingrid Michaelson! She is so my second favorite singer (Tracy Grammer will always be my first. You're the best, Tracy!)

Good news, bad news, Ingrid has a voice you want to join right in with. Nobody wants to listen to Ingrid and me sing, but too bad, because if you come anywhere near my house these days that's what you're going to hear! You might have heard one of her songs on a new Old Navy commercial, and yes, that song is cute, but the rest of her songs are not cute, they are gorgeous. I'm particularly hooked on "Keep Breathing."

Keep Breathing

The storm is coming but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.

All that I know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world...instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

I particularly love/hate the line about "I want to change the world... instead I sleep." That is so me. I get overwhelmed with all that needs changing and take refuge in my bed, head under the covers, deep in sleep, far away from all responsibilities. I suppose there are worse coping mechanisms, but still...

Fortunately it's not all up to me to change the world. There is hope:
