Today me and Kinzy went to downtown Waterloo to watch her concert because it was F R E E! I can't pass up a free concert!

I took a picture of her album cover but it was blurry so I'm using this from google images. The album in real life is gorgeous and it's made out of cardboard. She also has a record version and it looks amazing.

Mr.A you were totally right. She is amazing. If I could describe her voice it would be very gentle and soothing. It's gorgeous! And she's gorgeous! Why do some people get all the luck?
Her music makes me think of my childhood and running around. It's very nostalgic.


                                                     I am in love with Crooked River.

The version on her website sounds better though.

Run little crooked river, run
Down the mountainside from whence you've come
Never turn around to look behind me
Travel safe and swiftly through the pine trees
Run little crooked river, run

(hum) 

Flow little crooked river, flow
Never mind which way the wind will blow
Keep a steady pace about your course
Overtake each pass but use no force
Flow little crooked river flow

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh

Rush little crooked river, rush
In between the elms and through the brush
Carry sticks and twigs upon your back
Tumble, turn and loose no track
Rush little crooked river rush

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
oh, oh 

Wind little crooked river, wind
Wind until the open sea you find
Marvel your arrival in the clean air
Do take time to breathe in when you get there
Wind little crooked river, wind

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I love it when she hums and the lyrics are so poetic. It's a good use of repetition.  

I don't really like her album Sailboat album with the song Leave In The Middle of The Night. It sounds really different and I like the songs from Leelanau better. 

In Mapple Leaf Red, I love the whistling in the beginning and how she uses objects to describe colors like robin-egg-blue.

I think I will add all her songs from Leelanau to my falling asleep playlist. 

If you have never heard of her I suggest you check her out on tumblr. You can listen to the songs there.

Kinzy and I also got a picture with her! 

Looking a little rough but whatever

P.S I ALSO GOT THE BEST BURGER EVER DOWNTOWN AT HUTT'S BURGERS. It was almost as good as In-N-Out but nothing can compare to that! (Since there was a discussion on burgers today and I almost died from starvation)
