I recently bought the “Wicked” soundtrack and have listened to this song about 72 million times. It makes me think of a few people who have entered and left my life.
I really like this behind-the-scenes clip.
“For Good”

Holiday cheer
Today, I was feeling pretty crummy. Little things just made me growl inside, like the fact that my newly washed car (thanks rain!) was covered in branches (you suck, tree!) and the fact that certain cringe-worthy items on my to-do list just wouldn’t go away and the fact that the first time in ages that I try to write a blog post that’s not all SQUEE-WEDDING-SQUEE!, it’s a gosh darn ghost town around here. (I know, lamest reason ever to be pouty, but I’m highly insecure like that, OK? Now please stop looking at me!)
I was also kinda frazzled about the show I had to put on tonight. You see, I work for this magazine and we started hosting these live web shows featuring actors and music artists. It’s very casual but there are a lot of things to think about and I am just not very good with things or thinking. So once we finally got rolling, I was pretty much ready to be done for the day.
And then she sang.
Scroll to about 00:46:00 to hear the song that made my life sweet again.
“Holy, Holy, Holy”
Priscilla Ahn with Big Phony and The Sweet Hurt.
Love.
No more grumbles.
Squee! It’s the holidays, you guys!
Musical interlude
When it comes to music, I’m a total lesbian. I like boys, sure, they’re nice and fun to play with, but deep down, my heart belongs to chicks. Specifically, sweet, folksy ones who sing about stumbling through life and enjoying the view and all that pretty nonsense. Here are some artists you should check out if you need an instant mood lift. Don’t we all?
Priscilla Ahn: Her angelic voice takes me back to my childhood. Also, I met her in real life and she’s pretty much the cutest thing on the planet.
Lenka: My dad of all people recently turned me on to her. Now I can’t stop listening to this song. It makes me want to skip. (Find her real music video on YouTube or on her site. You’re not allowed to embed it.)
Meiko: Have been obsessed with her ever since I accidentally caught the last bit of her show at the Hotel Cafe in LA. I would want this to be my future wedding slide show song, except that it has the word “shitty” in it.
What songs/artists make you happy?
