Alanis Morissette ~ Thank You
June 7, 2013
I just recently watched the movie, ‘The Way,’ directed by Emilio Estevez and the starring role played by his father, Martin Sheen. The premise of the movie is of a father who loses his son and goes on an unexpected adventure, taking the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela. It’s a beautiful movie and one that I highly recommend. ‘Thank You‘ by Alanis Morissette is featured in the film. I had heard the song years ago and upon hearing it again I was taken aback by it’s beauty. I had to post. Enjoy.
Sincerely,

Billy Joel — And So It Goes
February 3, 2013
This is my favorite Billy Joel song. I first heard this song while studying at New World School of the Arts. Jane Carrington was one of my modern dance teachers; she focused on the Jose Limon Technique. And though she was an excellent instructor, I was mostly touched by her choreographic talents. She choreographed a duet to this song. Although, I don’t remember exact movement phrases, I remember how emotionally stirring the piece was. So, this song will always remind me of Jane Carrington and her inspiring choreography. It seems appropriate that this video is the live version with the applause at the end.
