f|break: yuna

music ... thanks @yunamusic (on web, facebook, youtube, tumblr) for such a beautiful song - live your life. admittedly, i heard yuna's song for the first time yesterday evening on conan - yuna's first live national television debut. lovely.

as a side note - i am participating in happy black woman's (aka rosetta thurman) 31 days to reset your life challenge - her april 2012 #31dayreset. for day 1 (april 1), participants were asked to -

• choose a notebook (for responding to the daily assignment)
• choose a personal mantra (to be written on the first page of the notebook - as a blessing for all written in the notebook)
• choose a theme song (to play daily when completing each daily assignment), and
• share with others about the above three, including why we chose the notebook that we chose

- and as a participant, i have completed day 1 (which i'll share later), AND i changed my theme song monday night after hearing yuna perform live your life.

enjoy a music fiber break with yuna (over here)

for ~3:18 minutes with the beautiful lyrics live your life

LIVE YOUR LIFE 

Find your light
Don’t hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
And hope for something more
Live if you really want to 

All my life I’ve been looking for something amazing
It’s almost like I’ve been stargazing
The sky is right above me
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself cause you don’t have to 

(Chorus) 

All my life my dreams just seemed so far away
And now it’s like they’re here to stay
I hold it close to me
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself cause you don’t have to

lyrics from youtube post

Something's Coming
Bringing the End of Everything
Beneath the Light
Of a White Point Star
Feel the Thunder
Hear the Summoning
They are Coming
Look to the Sky

Gallifrey Rising
Rassilon Returning
The End has Begun
Here Come the Drums
As Gallifrey Rises

I Was There
When the Daleks Took the Cruciform
And I Have Seen
The Nightmare Child
Felt the Terror
Heard the Deathly Cries
This Must Be Stopped
They Cannot Rise

Gallifrey Rising
Rassilon Returning
The End has Begun
Here Come the Drums
As Gallifrey Rises

And There We Were
The Sacrifice I could Never Make
The Pawn they Thought
They Could Control
Your Redemption
Their Ultimate Damnation
I Broke the Link
And You sent them Back To Hell (And No More)

Gallifrey Rising
Rassilon Returning
The End has Begun
Here Come the Drums
As Gallifrey Rises

Gallifrey Rising
Rassilon Returning
The End has Begun
Here Come the Drums
All of Time is Burning
And Gallifrey's Rising.

(and i got a little tingly down there (hee-hee) ... y'know what i mean?!) i LOVE my back-in-the-day cassette compilations and CDs of gabriel's music. i think i'll go find my shaking the tree.
