As You Are

Hello all,

I'm posting a little early tonight because I have plans to be out and about. The following is a unique song about pulling down facades and being yourself.

There have been plenty of songs out recently by big name artists about the inherent beauty we all have. However, for some reason this hidden gem has always stuck out to me when I think about songs about self love.

Many songs encouraging self love are for the underdogs who have gotten picked on throughout their lives and tend to visibly feel down. While I feel that those types of songs are extremely important, this song is extra special to me because I feel that it also encourages those with strong exteriors to be comfortable with their own weaknesses, to abandon their tough facades, let people in and be themselves. It is the type of song that could stop hatred if those doing the hurt could actually take it to heart.

 The song is "As You Are" by an adorable, quirky, smart duo called "Garfunkel and Oates".



I am a big fan of theirs, and although most of their other songs are just plan silly, I highly recommend you visit their website and check them out.

Namaste and have a good night everyone,
Luna
