Curve Away

I'm Jen, a 30-something, music-loving mommy living in the coolest city in Texas.

About this blog:
Music, life, and more music. I love all kinds of music, but my taste seems to be more alternative/indie/folkish these days. That said, my favorite bands are as mainstream as they come. Coldplay and Snow Patrol feature heavily on this blog, so if you're not a fan of them, you may want to avoid me on Saturdays and Sundays.

I also have a health/fitness/exercise blog: move-eat-behappy.tumblr.com . Check it out if you like. :)

My musical preferences, according to my last.fm: I'm into indie, alternative, rock, folk and acoustic, including:
Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Band of Horses, Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Death Cab for Cutie, The Swell Season, The Beatles, Tired Pony, Arcade Fire, R.E.M., Muse, The Avett Brothers, Stars, The Civil Wars, Metric, Ra Ra Riot, Travis, Noah And The Whale, Freelance Whales, Quiet Company, Florence + The Machine, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, Iron & Wine, The National, U2, Blind Pilot, Keane, Andrew Bird, Editors, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne, Phoenix, Glen Hansard, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, The xx, Feist, Broken Bells, The Temper Trap, Spoon, The Sundays, The Black Keys, English Chamber Orchestra, Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor, The Cure.

“And in this light you are framed classically
Just a painting that hangs in my head
That I know like the back of my hand”

Held in the arms of your words (via u-foundme)

One of my favorite lyrics on the album

“The garden is haunted by us,
and every mistake that we made
is at peace ‘cause it led us both here…”

Held in the Arms of Your Words by Tired Pony (live at HMV Forum, London (07/2010)

Was listening to this song for the first time in a while and remembered how very much I love it. Came across this video on youtube, which is pretty impressive, both for its audio and visual quality. Enjoy a lovely performance of this gorgeous song…

and in this light you are framed classically,

just a painting that hangs in my head

that I know like the back of my hand…

santa monica pier at sunset - a few nights ago
right, there are way too many pictures of sunsets on this tumblr already but i love this sky and wanted to share. it’ll have to be a better sky than this for me to post another sunset. i wouldn’t bet against but we’ll see.
if there is a god he lives there in those clouds. and has a multicoloured beard and loves us all whether we believe in him or not.gL

My favorite track from The Place We Ran From, “Held In The Arms of Your Words”…

You’re effortless, you know you are, and all I wanna do is let you lead me off into the dusk.
