Rainbows and sunshine but absolutely no unicorns please.

I know, I know. I've been AWOL. But let's just blame the busy-ness of travelling, Easter, and wedding planning - cool? Just be thankful that this whole Starbucks Unicorn Frap thing hasn't caused another week's hiatus for recovery purposes because it's weird people.

The First: Love Story by Taylor Swift

Throwing it way back in honour of two dear friends who are saying "I do" to one another this weekend. This is the bride's favourite karaoke song, so obviously I had to include it. Hoping this next chapter in their love story is a beautiful and memorable one! #chengfray2017 #prayforsunshine


The Second: Lonely Drum by Aaron Goodvin

This song has been playing on repeat in my brain for weeks! I curse myself for not writing a CMF earlier to have shared it with all of you because it is excellent. It makes me want to dance. But since usually I'm listening to it in the car and I don't know how to dance like a normal human when I'm in the car, it just ends up being these weird but super aggressive shoulder shrugs and head bobbling. See? Now I've distracted you from being upset about the lack of CMFs with that imagery instead. Sneaky...


The Third and Final: Real Thing by Zac Brown Band

Ugh. Zac Brown... I've said it before and I'll say it again: leave some talent for the rest of us. This is the perfect easy listening sunny Saturday morning song. So listen to it now but then also put it on tomorrow for when you laze around and sip on your coffee. It'll do you good.

Looking forward to a weekend celebrating great friends and having a generally awesome time. Hope y'all have an exciting weekend planned too!

Thanks for listening,
Karla

I'm thankful for country music.

Well a happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving to all!

Let's take a moment to remember what's truly important this holiday weekend, shall we?
Family.
Friends.
Freshly baked pie.
An extra day of leisure.
The beautiful colour of the trees as their leaves slowly die.
Country music.
Brussel sprouts.

Sorry... did someone say country music? I mean, yeah, sure, twist my arm, I guess I can share some..?


The First: Woman In Love by Aaron Goodvin

Well isn't this just the grooviest little tune! It's sweet until you feel like a bit of a creep watching a stranger's wedding video because *spoilers* I'm pretty sure this music vid is legit just the Goodvin's actual wedding video.


The Second: A Guy With The Girl by Blake Shelton

Not gonna lie... I haven't been the biggest fan of the other tracks Blake has released lately. I just find them a bit spiteful not my thing. But this one was a nice change from all the other... stuff. It's short, and sweet, and catchy. Like a child-sized fishing rod with a gummy worm at the end. Yep, that's the analogy I'm going with.


The Third and Final: That Ain't Country by Aaron Lewis

Let's be grateful for folks like Aaron here who try to emulate some of the old stuff that started this glorious genre. Also, yes, I did decide that one Aaron was just not enough for this post, so I went ahead and added another Aaron to the mix. Let's all be thankful that I didn't add a third Aaron in the middle and instead went with Blake.


I hope you all enjoy yourselves and, more importantly, the tryptophan this long weekend! I'll be spending mine with some dear friends and family (including the littles!) and hope you get some time in with the people special in your life as well.

Thanks for listening!
