Music Monday: Tyrone Wells

You may have already seen Heather's post HERE about when we went to see Tyrone Wells, but I couldn't NOT post about it too. I knew for a month or so that Tyrone was coming back to Boise so I sent him a tweet asking if he'd need help with merch again. He said yes and Heather and I couldn't wait! It's a great way to see a show for free, especially being very broke right now.

It was great to see Tyrone and Mark again! They're both so friendly and genuine. It's always refreshing to meet people like that. The show was great and the merch table was close to the stage! It was at a bar, so unfortunately there were the annoying drunk people that got too loud. Tyrone ended up stopping one song because no one would quiet down, which was unfortunate. Heather and I were just glad we had the merch table as a barrier from some of the crazies because I don't like dealing with crowds like that. Anyway, Tyrone played some new songs and I'm really looking forward to his new album coming out, in hopefully the near future. I look forward to attending many more of his shows!

Music Monday: Tyrone Wells & Jason Reeves

All Broken Hearts

To say I had a hard weekend is a bit of an understatement. Lots has been going on [sparing details] and I've been doing my best to deal in a positive way. Last night I was trying to relax with a hot bath & I had my Tyrone Wells Pandora station playing on my phone. This song came on and just washed over me. Thank you Tyrone for making such a beautiful song and thank you God for playing it just when I needed to hear it.

In just one moment I was gone
I always thought that I was strong
This hole inside me is the deepest canyon

I'm shattered pieces all alone
And I can't make it on my own
I hear a melody come soft and slowly

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

We hear it in a quiet song
We feel it in a mother's arms
When we can't find the words, it's hallelujah

And when I close my eyes in death
When I breathe my final breath
The last word upon my tongue is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

When my soul has finally flown
The moment I am welcomed home
The first song that I will sing is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

Seen It, Heard It, Read It

SEEN IT

1. Curly Sue



I loved watching this when I was little. Curly Sue is such a sassy little girl. My favorite line from the movie has to be, "Slap my butt, no way!" Haha! It's funny, but also sweet. It's a classic.

2. The Goonies



Heyyy you guys! Who doesn't love The Goonies? It was hilarious to watch this with my parents! Even though they'd seen it before, it had been a long time and everything was so much funnier.

3. The Closer, Season One and Season Two





Since my family doesn't have cable, I've missed this show like crazy! I'm so sad that it's not on Instant Netflix, but luckily the library has it. I love Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson!

HEARD IT

1. Taylor Swift: Speak Now



I swear that every single album Taylor makes is amazing! I finally just got this one a couple weeks ago. She is so down-to-earth and honest. I love that she writes her own songs. Her music is relatable, real and fun.

2. Mumford and Sons: Sigh No More

I don't think I can even begin to say how much I love this! I want to wrap myself in it's sweet goodness. It's glorious!

3. Tyrone Wells: Metal and Wood



I've already expressed how much I love Tyrone! I don't think there's much more to say. This is one cd that I could never get tired of listening to.

READ IT

1. Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston



I finished this a couple days ago and oh my goodness!! Although parts of it made me sick to my stomach, it was so emotional and powerful! I definitely think everyone should read it. Read quickly through the gross parts, but read it. I really want to see the movie now, but I'm kind of nervous I'll get sick. I think I might make myself go and pray for my stomach because I know it'll be worth it.

This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.


2. Romans 14 (The Message)



We read this passage last week in Bible Study. My mom and I started laughing in the middle of it, because of my recent change to being vegetarian. Obviously the passage is not just about eating meat or not, but it was interesting to read after I've made this change, because it came with a change in perspective. This is one of the things that isn't black and white in the Bible. This is about respecting each other, not judging others for their choices, and not being a stumbling block for others with the choices you make. I love reading different versions of it. Check out The Message version HERE and the New International Version HERE.

3. Kendi Everyday



Heather introduced me to this blog a month or so ago. It's easily become one of my new favorite blogs to read. She's cute, stylish, down-to-earth and fun! Her 30 by 30 Remixes are inspiring! I think Heather and I might do our own versions of 30 for 30 starting in January.

Music Monday: Tyrone Wells

Heather walked into our room last Tuesday night and was like "Heyyyy, Tyrone Wells just tweeted that he needs merch help tomorrow night." I was like, "Um, what's the email address?" So I emailed that night and got a response on Wednesday saying that they'd love our help. We left work early because I (stupidly) scheduled two photoshoots for school that afternoon. We got home I did one shoot, took a 30 minute nap, showered, did another photoshoot, ate dinner and then we headed downtown to The Knitting Factory.

We had a fabulous time! We'd never seen Tyrone before because the timing was never right. He is amazing to see live and tells some great stories. His voice is incredible; it's so smooth and it just cuts right through you. You just want to wrap yourself in his music. We were able to meet him afterwards and he was sooo nice! We were also able to meet his drummer and tour manager, Mark, who set us up at the merch table. It's great meeting genuine people who are doing what they love. Enjoy this video of Sea Breeze (one of my fav songs) and be sure to check out his website for more of his music!

P.S. Tyrone and his wife, Elina just released an album called Different As Can Be, and it's absolutely adorable. Like, so cute and barfy that it physically hurts. Their relationship is beautiful and one that I dream of. They sang three songs together at the show and they were so great! Check out Tyrone and Elina here.
