Mood Monday.
Music to fit my mood.
The first time I heard this tune (a couple days ago), I immediately took notice. There is something so happy and uplifting about the lilting vocals and funky beat. If you are a fan of Sylvan Esso or Tune-yards, you have reason to celebrate! From both South Africa and California, Arielle & Vicente create cool alternative electronic music.
It makes me smile.
ANIMA!- Moving Mountains
“Hey hit that switch turn you heart in, to make a motion
Take part in the mass tradition oh
Blink when you wake, ‘til your head falls to your conclusion
Money comes before the movement oh
The people get sick and stressed out
People who keep their heads down
We don’t have any time to live
The world won’t keep its own rotation
We make up the whole foundation
They tell us we’re getting what we give
Every day a mountain we were moving, tell me what is it for
Inch after inch, ‘til we just can’t climb any more
Losing all the love between the lines dividing rich and the poor
Are we working to live, are we living to work more more more more more more
Look straight ahead with a smile on to show your patience
Climbing up the ladder like you’re told
Love what you do, if you don’t, take a disposition
Follow through with blind ambition for
The future it’s looking sweet
The future is all we need
Cause sooner or later we’ll be pleased
Not right now I’m way too busy
Counting down, the days go quickly
Stick around, get down with the diseased
Every day a mountain we were moving, tell me what is it for
Inch after inch, ‘til we just can’t climb any more
Losing all the love between the lines dividing rich and the poor
Are we working to live, are we living to work more more more more more more”
As this song points out, there is more to life than work. A long holiday is approaching, and I hope to find the time to relax and enjoy it with family and friends. I hope you will too!
May you all find a bit of
