Sia Marathon

I am having a Sia marathon today while studying. Honestly, it has proved to be quite distracting. However, I haven't really written anything in so long and her music has inspired some new ideas so I am thankful for that distraction.

I can't say that I'm sold on her entire new album. There are only a select handful of songs that I can say I truly enjoy. I do love that she has expanded her art though and is trying new things musically. Whatever new direction this album takes her, there is a common thread in everything she does...She doesn't hold back. I'm posting two songs today. The first, my favorite track, is from her new album We Are Born and is called Bring Night.

The second song is called My Love and is featured on ...I'm reluctant to say... the Eclipse soundtrack. This fact should not take away from such a beautiful song. I will say this music absolutely enhanced the scene it was used in. The way it crescendos at the perfect moments nearly brought me to tears. If there is one thing that the Twilight Saga has provided the world, it is the gathering of talented artists to introduce new and wonderful music.
