The less important things in life have a way of sneaking in and taking over.  They stop you from doing what you love and they focus your mind on stress, deadlines, anxiety and aggravation.  This is one reason why I love music in the way I do, it provides us with a chance to stop and a reason to look at the little things, the simple moments that we overlook or push aside thinking we will have time to experience them later.  Taking the time to listen, and I mean really listen not just with your ears but with your brain, your heart and your soul as well, should not be considered a luxury.  Don't wait.  Stop and give yourself permission to let yourself go, just for a few minutes.  Stop and listen and while you're going down that path, stop and look at the sunset, watch a bird fly, roll down your car window and let the wind make a mess of your hair, lay down in the grass and watch the sky, smile at strangers.  Each thing on its own may seem insignificant but like pennies they add up and your life will be richer for them.

The song that I have chosen is most definitely worthy of your time, it is a little bit of sunshine wrapped up in a voice that is reminiscent of Xavier Rudd and Cat Stevens.  The song is called "Let Her Go" by Passenger (yet another British artist and I have a friend to thank for turning me on to this guy!).  Mike Rossenberg, the real name of Passenger, has a unique voice that might at first make you wonder if you like it or not but it doesn't take long for the obvious passion he puts in to his creations to take hold of you and draw you in.
