Music for the soul

Michelle Tumes is bloody brilliant.

I just discovered her Center of the Universe album yesterday and am soo grateful. The atmospheric music is absolutely gorgeous. It transcends all musical boundries and her lyrics evoke beautiful dreamlike images. I call her album the-drifting-album (because it sends you drifting off to another time and place) and the-falling-asleep-album, not that it's boring or anything, but it's so soothing, it can send an insomniac like myself into a deep slumber in no time.

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
When I can't fall asleep
You're the field in the middle of the city
When I'm rushing by at the speed of light
You're the strong resolution when I find no peace
You're the church bells ringing in the evening
When all is quiet You whisper comfort
That lifts my heart
I get so weak

You're the soft words that touch me
When I just can't speak
You're the breeze on the ocean in the morning
Reminding me to greet the day
You're the flowers I remember seeing in Italy
Colors through a golden haze
Bright and radiant, soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun, it makes me sing
