Deas Vail

Let me introduce you to Deas Vail... They are a band that Rob and I stumbled along when we were searching for bands that Matt Thiessen (Lead singer of Relient.K) has done work with.
The song we found is called "Birds" off their "Birds and Cages CD (Thiessen does the bridge) . I found the words very poetic and powerful, and the music just leads me to another place. I have listened to a few of their songs now, and I have grown quite obsessed. I will never be as obsessed with Deas Vail as I am with Relient.K, but they are still amazing. Plus it helps that they used Thiessen in one of their songs :)


Deas Vail means "God" in Latin and "Humble Servant" in Old French. I like it!

 "Birds"

 This is our true alarms.
This is reality.
We will do what we can.
We are just figurines
with a theology
that we don’t understand.

We can’t forget the beginning,
when He set our broken wings. ooh, ohh,

God, how much does it take.
for us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
stuck inside our cage,
covered up with grace.
And behind our sins
we hide our face.
Oh, the numbers call.
Yeah, they’re dialing in.
but, we can’t help but to compare ourselves again.

I can’t believe in this—
this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
We can’t see past our thrones.
We fight for life within,
but our walls are wearing thin.
Oh God, where have we gone?

When I’m just one fighting indifference,
does it matter what I say? ooh, ohh,

God, how much does it take
for us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
stuck inside our cage,
covered up with grace.
And behind our sins
we hide our face.
Oh, the numbers call.
Yeah, they’re dialing in.
But, we can’t help but to compare ourselves again.

It’s not that there were ever bad intentions—
it’s more that we forgot where to call home.
From important things that we don’t know to mention,
it’s the uniform that we put on—the formula we have for love.

Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Ooooooooh

Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Ooooooooh

It’s not that there were ever bad intentions—
it’s more that we forgot where to call home.

<<<<<Wes Blaylock is the Lead singer. I am pretty sure his voice is incredible! He's also clearly gorgeous!

Absolutely bleh

Being sick is really bringing me down at the moment. I have been feeling worse in the past two weeks. This is week 29 of my sore throat :( I just want it to be the 17th of April already, I wish my ENT appointment was earlier. Apart from that I'm feeling kind of low about my work situation, and I just feel bleh in general.
Luckily I have Rob to keep me sane, I don't know what I would do without him.

180 Movie

This movie starts of talking about Hitler, and ends up talking about abortion. It seems weird at first, but this movie brings an amazing message. I urge you to watch it. Feel free to leave comments :)

Just letting you know that the movie goes for about half an hour, it also has images of dead people, that may disturb you.... But please don't let that stop you from watching it! You won't regret it.











God bless

Love, E <3

Just because I can

I eated a lot of sherbit straws!

Omomnomnomnom :)

Thinking

I spend a lot of my time in deep thought, although some of my thoughts are ridiculously ridiculous. Sometimes my emotions collide with my thoughts, and make them unspeakable. It isn't that I don't want to say what I am thinking, I just can't. It is like when you have a dream and you remember what it was about, what it felt like, and what it looked like, but you can't describe it. Most of my thoughts are just plain confuffling.... even if I could tell you, I don't think you would really understand. I realise that I am telling you my thoughts as I blog, but it isn't quite the same. I'm talking real deep thoughts that I don't even understand. I find it crazy that God understands me more than I understand myself. Sometimes I feel like reading God's mind, but I think there are some things we just shouldn't know, even if it is about ourselves. Our brains block out certain things, and some of the stuff it blocks out can seem so meaningless. Every now and then a memory just randomly pops into my head because something had reminded me of this memory. It just appears out of no where, and suddenly I remember, and all I think is "Huh?". Some thoughts and memories just don't make sense at all... I tend to wonder why my brain would have blocked something so insignificant out, and why I would remember this thought later on. I mean like there are so many things that I have remembered of my past recently that are significant, and I think "Wow ok, that makes more sense now"... like when I remembered that my Dad used to tell me that if I didn't stop chucking tantrums he would take me to the doctors... For a long time I had wondered why I felt so mental, and then suddenly something triggered that lost thought of what Dad had said to me, and it made sense that it was why I felt mental.
Our past and present changes the way we think... it is influenced by the people around us. I'm an impressionable person... and I think most people are actually... I notice it more than others I know though. I tend to be like people that I am around, when I spend a lot of time with them or know them well. Rob and I are two very different people, but I know that in the past 3 and a half years, we have spent a lot of time with each other and I have noticed that some of my mannerisms are the same as his. I think like him a little bit more, I like having the same interests. I find him predictable too, because I know him so well, and I like that. Yes, it has even gotten to the stage where I can finish his sentences. Bec and I used to do that a lot when we were little, we used to say that we could read each other's minds. Minds make me feel 'Mind blown' ;) They are confuffling by wonderful.

Hehe, and notice I wrote this post to get you thinking! 

Love, -E-
