Nights like these

Nights like tonight...make me gloriously happy. I'm in my cozy gray v-neck tee, black yoga pants and barefoot. I've got the front door open for a light breeze. The babies are switching off cuddling in my lap, purring into the crook of my arm. A glass of wine by my side and the slight flicker of candles surrounding me. I am being carried away to a different world - taken by music. Tonight's vocal infatuation is brought to you by Priscilla Ahn.

Ahn's voice reminds me of A Fine Frenzy's singer, Aliso Sudol mixed with another of my favorite singers, Lisa Donnelly. It's quite captivating, really. My favorite I've heard thus far is called "Dream". /sigh

Quite a content evening at the Mikels' home.

Priscilla Ahn's "Dream" Lyrics:

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my house guests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling gray. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream.
