Daylight's Haven

My two new favorite music groups are Freelance Whales and the Wailin' Jennys.

I also like Noah and the Whale.

Said the Whale is pretty good too, but not one of my favorites.

My wonderful father, who has been changing all his LPs into MP3s, gave me a copy of our old Captain Beaky albums which I've been spending a lot of time listening to. This is my favourite song from that.

My Best Friend
by Jeremy Lloyd

Save for the humming of the bees
And raindrops falling through the trees
The wood was silent as a grave
While shafts of sunlight made a brave attempt to pierce the velvet gloom
As lonely as an empty room

Alone was I but not afraid
The friend I'd been with must have strayed
For though I called no answer came
And so I called and called again
Still no answer came

And so I played a splendid game
In the bracken wet and thick
With my favourite walking stick

And then a voice called out quite near
"Oh there you are old chap, come here."
And sitting there upon a log, was my best friend
Who said "Good dog."

I feel this should be applied to Castiel in someway either as inspiration for a fic or music video, but I don't have any ideas for it.

"An Angry Blade"
By Iron and Wine

Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Who left you so?

Striking a match for the keyhole
Dark as the evening laid
When he left you all alone

Turning to fade through the sawgrass
Tall as the only love
That you'll ever really know

Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Who left you so?

Grace is a gift for the fallen dear
You're an angry blade and you're brave
But you're all alone

Turning a shade of an angel born
In a bramble ditch when the doors
Of heaven closed

You are the Light...

plus there was a drawing of a whale with a speech bubble with a heart inside  :)

ETA:  Recently found out that this is a reference to a song by the group Said the Whale.

I now have an Ipod. His name is Shiny. :)

Into Shiny, I have uploaded:

• 878 random songs from Loreena McKennitt to Linkin Park
• 16.6 hours of instrumental soundtracks
• 7.3 hours of classical music
• 58 albums of Doctor Who Audio Adventures
• 92 Goon Shows
• 85 episodes of 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again'
• 957 MB of Muppet/Fraggle Music

I'm planning to take Shiny to work with me where he will hopefully save my sanity.
