Unravel

In just under a month, my whole life has changed.

I recently ended a 2 year relationship,I managed to get into 2 car accidents in 2 days, and lost an old friend. I'm a little stressed over all of this, but everything always seems to work out. My friend Rebecca's memorial is this upcoming Saturday and her family has asked me to sing "Unravel" by Bjork. Originally, Becca wanted me to sing it at her wedding (which occurred last year unfortunately),but her parents weren't big on the lyrical content.

Strangely, the lyrics are so fitting now:

while you are away

my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn
he'll never return it
so when you come back
we'll have to make new love


I hope that I'm able to push through and sing the entire thing without crying. Funerals are the biggest challenge I feel for any performer(especially when the person is someone you know). If you haven't seen the video before, I've included it below. Have a great week ya'll.

I'll try to update more frequently with less morbid news :(
