Hey, Snow White.

So this blog is going to be pretty short and sweet since my last blog was pretty long, and I’m tired after going to see my Niece’s musical debut in Gypsy (which was absolutely wonderful, although the storyline was pretty depressing).

The song I’m featuring tonight is The New Pornographer’s cover of “Hey, Snow White” that was written for the album Dark Was the Night. This amazing compilation of songs was created to raise money and awareness for HIV and Aids, and it does not leave much to ask for. Let me just say that this is probably one of the best albums of the year, and if you take the time to by the album you will be supporting a great cause, and getting some very neat music.

Now that I have advertised the album I will get to the point for this simplistic song, which is to not be so hard on yourself, because once you learn to love yourself everything else will fall into place.

This simple point seems to be the hardest thing to grasp for everybody, and anyone who doesn’t struggle with it is simply a robot (yes Aynslee, I’m talking about you..). Self love is one of the things that has been drilled into our heads since birth, yet it is the one thing that we seem to forget first in a tough situation. This song is just a reminder for me to breathe and to not be so hard on myself, since in the end I’m the only one I’ve truly got, so I have to be comfortable with myself (it also doesn’t hurt that one of my nicknames is Snow White).
