My husband and I recently watched the 2013 film, Begin Again, starring Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, James Corden and Adam Levine. And…we both adored it. The performances are great and the MUSIC in the film is fantastic, just mesmerizing. It made me think of how little I have been listening to music as of late, instead listening to audiobooks to keep my reading goals on track. While I don’t take back any of the time I have spent listening to audiobooks (there have been some excellent listens!), the lovely melodies and lyrics in Begin Again kind of reignited that pull of needing music around me more.

So, after that rather long preamble, I would like to share some music of some favourite bands (and songs I continue to be entranced by)…and something lovely from Begin Again….
