good night lovers,
what a monday! went on two college tours: one at birmingham-southern & one at UAB. i absolutely loved birmingham-southern! it's the type of college i could see myself at... however, i didn't like the vibes at UAB much at all. i don't like the idea of such a spread-out college which doesn't really distinguish itself from the downtown of the city. of course, i'm not very fond of the actual city of birmingham, alabama, either. UAB just feels different from auburn (whose campus makes up a good portion of the downtown). nothing against the establishment; it's just not for me.
however, birmingham-southern was amazing! it was compact and enclosed, with nice facilities and beautiful grounds -- not to mention they had recycling bins all over the place. they're striving to become more eco-friendly, which is something i highly appreciate. so they're on my list to take another, more extensive, tour with.
but onto the title of this blog post: music!monday! i bought "surrender" by depeche mode (one of their b-sides) a few days ago, and this song has completely stolen my soul. it's so beautiful and sensual and just amazing.
while it's actually sung by dave gahan on the single, i found this amazing backstage video of martin singing, with peter gordeno on piano/keyboard. i believe it's from the exciter tour. martin can sing while putting on mascara, and sound good! it's just unfair... :P
with love,
rachel. <3
