Hey guys

I just came across this music video and I had to share. These guys are absolutely awesome, and the happiness and passion they make their music with is fantastic. It has cheered me right up!

I love that!
Are you a fan of them in general Cheesus or did you just come across this? I write about music for an online music magazine and also on my own blog. I find it such a hugely powerful medium and love the dramatic impact it can have on our mood.
I'm not so well right now which is one of the reasons I've not been posting much. I'm off for an MRI tomorrow which I'm dreading because I'm claustrophobic. I can take music along this time though so I'm trying to decide which album to take. Just thinking about and writing about that has helped alleviate some of my anxiety. Music and mindfulness is a killer combo :D

I'm a fan of them in general. All their albums are fantastic. You might have heard the song Home?

I hope you're okay Fee! Let us all know how you get on.

Thanks Cheesus, I will.

If you ever want to write a post about them for my blog just let me know. I love sharing the music that other people love. I find it doesn't matter whether I actually like their choices, real love and genuine enthusiasm is infectious and great to read :)

A little up-tempo for what I listen to nowadays - I get easily carried away by the energy. Great for a celebration event.
