I run into a video (I really have no idea where...) of someone baking a cake, I think, and in the background there was this song playing. It was a sweet tune and I found myself repeating the video just to hear the song once again. Who is this girl? 5 seconds on google and I had her name.
Feist. 1234 was the song but, of course, I needed to hear more. And I found myself in love with her voice, her songs, her performances... to the point that I already bought two of her albums. Yeah, mp3 are cool, but I like to have in my hands the things I love!
Of course one of her songs needed to be part of our wedding soundtrack (yes, I succeeded on infecting my husband with her virus) and this was what I chose:
"... I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done... "
(from the song "Mushaboom")
Makes sense, right? I thought so. Now, go ahead, make a little pause in this crazy week of yours and play it!

Oh yes, Feist . Also was an instant love affair, not during wedding planning, but during my last year at university, I heard her on the ipod commercial , I'm sure you saw it ?

Always discovering songs with those ipod commercials, that's also how I stumbled with Chairlift:
