Jar of Hearts

Today was pretty awesome. I am currently attending Brigham Young University Idaho and because I am attending a church school, the choirs here have the opportunity to sing in General Conference which is a huge honor because all of the officials of the church will be there and our amazing apostles and Prophet get to speak. Needless to say I am very excited. The reason I mention this is because the Conference Choir had the opportunity this afternoon to sing in Devotional. We sang 2 prelude hymns and then a choral version of How Firm A Foundation. I was pretty happy with our performance but the songs and the choir still need a ton of work. I was very grateful that we got to have that experience in order to improve and understand what we need to work on before General Conference on April 2nd.

The picture above is a picture of Christina Perri. It is rare that I will ever post about a female singer, or at least none of my posts thus far have been from females. The fact is that I normally just don't like female singing voices. Call me crazy because I am a female and a singer but that is how I feel. However, her song "Jar of Hearts" I like. I first heard it in the car with my room mates and I heard a certain line she said, "You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul..." Which I instantly loved. I liked her spunk mostly. The video I attached is kind of weird but also very interesting to think about. I have never been in a serious relationship but I do not want what the girls in the video had. I feel like both people in a relationship need to be giving equally and that is not what the video portrays. Hope you like it!


So the rest of my day after Devo, I had Women's Choir and then DRUM LINE!! I love drum line but I want to be better at rhythm so I find myself practicing very randomly throughout the day and I think it is really helping! We are performing in the RixStix concert a week from today and I am pretty stoked. Because our school doesn't have real sport we have not had the opportunity to really show off what we have been working on this semester. Hopefully we will be performing for some of the inter mural volleyball and basketball games before school is over in April. After drum line I came home to watch Glee which I thought I would give another chance to win me over, IT DID NOT WORK! I am not gonna talk about it but I am angry at the direction it has gone and I probably won't be watching it anymore, however I am a sucker for their music so that will probably still be happening in my life :D

Hope everyone has a great evening and a Happy Hump Day tomorrow!

  2. Yeah they do, I was kind of shocked when I watched the video because I had heard the song a few times but unless you see a singer first, you have no idea what to expect. I was imagining something totally different.
