Pumped Up Kicks sounds so much better acoustic.
Soooo good
Things I've been thinking about
- Jay-Z and Beyonce icing cupcakes for their child’s bake sale
- Jay-Z and Beyonce having the awkward sex talk with their child
- Jay-Z and Beyonce pretending to enjoy their child’s violin recital
- Beyonce chaperoning a school trip to the bronx zoo
- Jay-Z grilling his daughter’s high school prom date
- Jay-Z’s son pointing out the “Otis” video when he gets caught speeding
- Cool uncle Kanye getting their son drunk on his 18th birthday

Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Video: The death and legacy of Jack Layton →
cbc.ca
I can’t think of another politician in this country that has the same charisma and passion as Mr. Layton. I used to be wary of his smile and enthusiasm- I’m sure that many of you have heard him be compared to a used car salesman. I thought that the comparison was apt until I realised that his happiness was not an act. He was genuinely thrilled to be improving the country, to be involved in politics, to be a Canadian. He cared about the youth vote (about my vote), and made sure during the recent election that we knew that we could make a difference. I don’t necessarily align myself with the NDP (or any of the parties right now, for that matter), but Jack Layton made me excited about politics again. He made me want to go out and vote, and made me want to get involved. He made me want to do something that could make a difference in this country.
Whether or not you agree with his politics, you simply cannot deny that Jack Layton was a great human being. I am sad about his death, and sad that he will not be able to enjoy the recent success of his party. Canada has lost a wonderful citizen. Rest in peace.
“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”
—Jack Layton, in his last letter to Canadians
