Having been treated a bit brusquely on the phone when making the appointment, I went in fairly determined not to like anything. Not a hard pros- pect, since none of tire other dresses made me feel more than burdened and squished. After being guided to the bridal section of the shop, I prepared myself to flail into a few more gowns. Seriously, I have been a bridesmaid and maid of honor, but until this trip, I had no idea just how cumbersome wedding dresses were just to get into let alone wear. And then it happened. I wrangled my body into the first dress and stepped out to get partially laced up into die corset-backe- d dress. The effect was stunning. I finally had a waist, and my chest wasnt unforgivably compressed to show off my curves. I felt attractive, elegant and bridal. It was the magical moment I had given up on. Convinced to try on a few other dresses, that first dress stayed on my mind. I hadnt planned on buying a dress here, so I hadnt looked at the price of any of the dresses. I didnt want to find out I had found my perfect dress and it was beyond the price point I set for myself. Finally, after quickly dismissing two other dresses, I -- 9 gathered the guts to ask the lady assisting me what the price of the first dress was. To my shock, it was only $399. With my budget set at $500, 1 was so happy to be able to buy my unexpectedly perfect dress and make my sister burst into tears. Maybe you dont need a wedding dress now or ever, but I feel like by pushing myself out of my comfort zone and trying things I was fairly sure I didnt want, I found what I was looking for. self-impos-ed A r wN v' A 5 ill I.

Someone needs to check his ancestry, com and see if he was related to King Midas in anyway. Flume n ent really powerful inspiration for me ... In honor of that song and all songs like it, and the earth claiming one of the greatest humans to ever grace its land. Prince ... I dedicate this to everyone who will ever hear it. You know, it's always incredible to see how much people cherish their idols and what they create as a result. If approaching heaven's gate had a soundtrack, it would be In Your Light without question. This song embodies the feeling of warmth people experience when they're in their happiest moments. Its shining like the sun , burning bright like a star, and reaching the summit of internal bliss. tlon0oTt1!,fr0mthedesCrip' ie song written by - Say It is a tune off Flume's upcoming Skin LP slated to drop May 27. Tove Lo features on the song and tip toes through the track, reminiscing about being heartbroken and facing temptation to go back to an old lover who probably wasn't the best for her but definitely delivered in other ways, if you know what I mean. What's up with Australia having such amazing musicians? Tame Impala, Flume, Cut Copy... It really makes me wonder if Iggy Azalea is actually from there. I Was a Fool To Care Mac Demarco JUNGLE-ESQU- E with someone but was never able to have them? It's not as if they're distant or have abandoned you you're close with them but just not in the way you want them. Day in and day out, you always have these eyes of admiration on this person, but, with every step they take, you're always one behind. It's a race you cannot g love isn't well, win because, So fair hke that. you dnft away in the waves of regret and become nothing but a skimmed page in your desired lover's favorite novel. That's what this song is. never-endin- - I know I said I wasn't going to make this installment of Tunesday melancholy, but man. hey, it's Mac Demarco, Actually, Mac Demarco isn't melancholy at all. His music may be downtempo, sorrow vibe, giving off that it's but, at the end of the day, both honest music. You and I are musicians know when sincere and genuine in and about their music, it typically tends to resonate with us as listeners. DeMarcos I Was a Fool To Care follows this idea. Have you ever been in love Tennyson - XYZ brother-siste- r Tennyson is a duo from Canada comprised of Luke Tennyson and Tess Pretty. originally came across the group after hearing the lighthearted With You in 2014, and I've been hying my best to follow their progress as it s closely as I can. As a fan, amazing to see the development and strides they've made since they stalled to put out music for the public to hear. On XYZ, listeners are jungle-esqu- e gifted with a spiritual, There tune. sounding are an abundance of sounds I SOUNDS that come onto the song to over the main instrutip-to- e mental before they disperse. These include a flute, car traffic, water pouring, zippers and more. What impresses me the most is, even with all these sounds making their way onto this song, in no way is there a compromise with the overall initial mood of the song. It's a hvely, happy song that would video game or a feature film. It's nothing short of brilliance to create something so versatile fit in an role-playi- and expressive. Kaytranada - Bus Ride (with Karriem Riggins and River Tiber) Here we are. We're officially starting to bury the Tunesday coffin she feet deep. Haitian-Ca-nadia- n Kaytranada, the maestro, hnks up with neglect it has given the opposing hemisphere. The week is finally coming to a close, and you made it through another one. All you can do is relish in the relief you have of being able to get away from the expectations and trials of the world and just be able to enjoy yourself however you choose to do so. You can't help but reflect on where you once were, where you are now, and where you'll be one day while listening to this track. You know it's all a process, and youll figure it all out maybe one day. However, until then, just sit back and enjoy the ride while you can. I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who lent their ear every other Tuesday this semester to come into my world and hear what I hear. Being given an outlet drummer Karriem Riggins and producer River Tiber to deliver an immaculate piece of music. The title of the track coincides with how it sounds perfectly. This song feels to put the thoughts and visions I have while listening to music has been therapeutic for me. It's also a bonus knowing there are some of yall out there who have dug Tunesday, and that makes me like catching the late bus after school on a Friday afternoon. The sun paints an orange glaze over the city as it prepares to amend the happy. Spread positivity and love. Be genuine and sincere. Good luck on your finals. Ill catch y'all later. |
