Here We Go Again!
Apparently, we orbit around the sun every 365 days. I’m about to finish another orbit here on earth, and as I approach my birthday I’m feeling pretty damn grateful and good.
I’ve finished a new album. It’s my favorite work yet. It’s full of joy. Which means I’m full of joy. Which feels good. It’s coming out soon.
I’ve got a wonderful band of muppets around me, filling my songs with rhythms and sounds I would never imagine on my own. Which feels good.
I’ve got an incredible mate by my side. Which feels good.
I’ve got two amazing muppet dogs. Which feels good.
I’ve got a house, a car, a stovetop coffeemaker that makes good coffee, a waning summer garden that bears the scars of a high yield year, a healthy body, an awesome family, lots of butterflies in my backyard, and I live in a city I love. Which feels good.
To summarize: I feel good.
Now go sing some James Brown. xox
What On Earth…?
It’s Earth Day, butterflies and bees are humming and buzzing, and I’m buzzing too–I’m about to release a new video and single and play a show and it feels gooooood!!
A few weeks ago I had the huge pleasure of shooting a video with my favorite muppets — aka the boys in the band– and being directed by the talented Christopher Ciccone. We rocked, we rolled, we wrapped at 3 a.m.
The thing about being here on earth (ahhh, see what I did? Brought it back to earth day) and doing what you love is that, while you never know what is coming around the corner, you do know the odds are it’s going to be an adventure. And that’s what it’s all about my friends–the adventure. The journey. Charles Bukowski wrote, “Find what you love and let it kill you”. I’m more of the, “Find what you love and let it guide you” school. But either way, you get the point. We’re here for a second. Do what you love. Trust me on this.
And come play with us this Saturday night! Celebrate the birth of a new project!! Dance With Me! xox sarah
