WE CANNOT POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT WILL MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES. WE LIVE AND HAVE EXPERIENCES AND LEAVE PEOPLE WE LOVE AND GET LEFT BY THEM. PEOPLE WE THOUGHT WOULD BE WITH US FOREVER AREN’T AND PEOPLE WE DIDN’T KNOW WOULD COME INTO OUR LIVES DO. OUR WORK HERE IS TO KEEP FAITH WITH THAT, TO PUT IT IN A BOX AND WAIT. TO TRUST THAT SOMEDAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, SO THAT WHEN THE ORDINARY MIRACULOUS IS REVEALED TO US WE WILL BE THERE, GRATEFUL FOR THE SMALLEST THINGS.

Music Monday: Birdy

Let me introduce you to the young yet successful Birdy.
Jasmine van den Bogaerde, who goes by the stage name Birdy, is an English singer/pianist who won the 2008's Open Mic UK, a music competition, at the age of 12, then released an eponymous debut album, Birdy, on November 2011.
Each and every song cover on this album gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Her voice is so powerful, but fragile at the same time. It's so overwhelming. At only 15, Birdy has been able to inspire people thanks to her music. I can truly say she is one of a kind.

'Skinny Love' (Bon Iver cover)

'Shelter' (The XX cover)

'People help the People' (Cherry Ghost cover)

'1901' (Phoenix cover)
