Nick Cave - Into my arms

I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord x3
Into my arms

And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that’s true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord x3
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candle burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord x3
Into my arms

Sefur // Sleeping

When Hrappur Birkir was still just this little unborn creature nestling inside me I used to sing to my belly. I don’t know why really but it seemed to calm him if he was moving around a lot and I guess it was a way for me to prepare for motherhood in some way. Then after he was born I continued to sing for him whenever he was too tired to sleep or irritated by gas or just anything really. He’s 16 months old now and I still sing to him whenever I can. It doesn’t matter what I sing. I’ll sing my favorite lullaby from Dýrin í Hálsaskógi when he goes to sleep but sometimes I just sing Death cab for cutie songs or something with Paul Baribeau. He likes it all and he is probably the only person in the world who will ever find my singing soothing.

The other day while singing to him our lullaby he did something new though. After I was done singing it twice (Once is not enough. He almost always wants to hear it twice!) he put his hands together, clapped and smiled. Then he turned away and burried his face into his blanket as to say “I’m going to sleep now. You can go.”. I smiled and walked out.

Sometimes motherhood is hard and challenging especially these last months now that there’s just the two of us but it’s the little things like this that make it all worth while.

Ten things by Paul Baribeau

Name ten things you wanna do before you die and then go do them.
Name ten places you really wanna be before you die and then go to them.
Name ten books you wanna read before you die and then go read them.
Name ten songs you wanna hear again before you die, get all of your friends together and scream them.

Because right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
That’s the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

Think of all the things that are wrong with your life and then fix them.
Think of all the things that you love about your life, be thankful you are blessed with them.
Think of all the things that hold you back and realize that you don’t need them.
Think of all the mistakes you have made in your life, make sure that you never repeat them.

Because right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
That’s the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

Name ten thousand reasons why you never wanna die, go and tell someone who might’ve forgotten.
Try to list the endless reasons why it’s good to be alive, and then just smile for awhile about them.

Soon the sun will rise and another day will come,
soon enough the sun will set, another day will be gone.

And right now all you have is time time time yeah,
but someday that time will run out.
that’s the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.
