Sunday Morning Song

Train - Hey, Soul Sister from Matthew Stawski on Vimeo.

The summer might be over but put a skip in your step with some West Coast swing from Train.

Sunday Morning Song

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Mercy

These graphics by Hong Kong based branding company CODESIGN are simple and beautiful. The visual branding is designed to illustrate the idea that facing different emotional feelings with an attitude of mercy will empower oneself for the challenges in life. The Give and Gain symbols are part of the Buddhist belief in the cycle of giving and receiving.

Slurp!

These beautiful bottles contain the Swedish christmas drink glögg. Alcohol can only be bought in state run shops called Systembolaget. And although this paints an image of a mid century communist black and white state - it really isn't like that. Well, maybe just a little when you fancy a bottle of red on a Saturday afternoon and everything's shut...

Foals

For anyone who just needs to lie back and relax for a couple of minutes...
