My yoga teacher played this song yesterday in class as we were winding down. It's jazzy and old-school-sounding, but it's by Alice Russell, an up-and-coming UK soul singer, and I totally love it. After class, I was compelled to ask my teacher what the song was, and when she told me the artist's name, I repeated it to myself several times. Later, as I got into my car, I noticed -- really noticed -- the name on a concert flyer that I'd casually plucked off my windshield days earlier and tossed on the seat. It was for a show by this very artist. It made for a weird, but cool moment. I only wish that I'd made it to the show!
Anyway, this song is on repeat for me now.

Sweet
Is the air
By the waterside
When the breeze is high (2nd time: Where the breeze is high)
And it's cool I'm such a fool
Here by the sea so blue
Wishing that you were here
With me
Days
They seem so long
What am I to do
I'm only here for you
Just for you
I'd walk that mile (2nd time: I'd walk a mile)
It puts my mind at ease
I feel that I can breathe
Again and again...(There you are)
--Alice Russell
