Cover me with music.

Oh Grey's you've done it again.

If you know me, you know that I am one of the most loyal Grey's Anatomy fans in the world.  I have followed this series since I was a pre-teen, all the way up to the latest episode which aired 03/06/14.  And although I could go into the details of this season-changing episode, I will refrain and get straight to the point of this blog post;  

THE MUSIC.

Grey's Anatomy is famous for picking up cover bands and less-known musical geniuses and making them huge via their show.

Remember Ingrid Michaelson's The Chain and The Weepies World Spins Madly On?*

The show also immortalized Keane's Somewhere Only We Know and Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars by using them as exceptionally placed soundtracks within a riveting story-line.  We all know that once you tie an emotion to a song, the song will never be the same again...

We've seen countless success stories emerge from this show, and the latest episode delivers some more. These are brand new songs from rising artists, so we're going to have to overlook the pathetic and painfully unartistic videos.

The Man In the Mirror (Original by Michael Jackson) 

Powerful. Different. Gritty.

Young Summer

Don't You Want Me (Original by Human League)

Haunting. Enchanting. Beautiful.

* And we can never forget this beautiful animation set to The Weepies' song can we?  "Thought of you" -- holding on strong as my favorite ever short animation clip.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Lights, Camera, Action

Solve Sundsbo strikes again with amazing light patterns.

We know Mr. Sundsbo from Mixed Media, Face!, and Serene Shivers down your Spine.

Amazing use of shadows and COLORS in his shadows.

The intricate patterns weave in and out of the curves of the women -- making it even sexier.

Pop art come to life?

Dancing on fire.

Another video that I've known for quite a while but never posted...

The most exquisite rendition of this dance piece.

Dancers - Ben Susak & Pam Chu

Concept - Wade Robson & Amanda Robson
Choreography - Wade Robson
Director and editor - Wade Robson.
Choreographer assistant - Dana WIlson
Music - John Mayer/Slow dancing in a burning room

"Before Wade Robson set this piece on Josh & Katee for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, he created the original version on his beautiful dancers from his Cirque Du Soleil/Criss Angel BELIEVE show. He then decided to shoot a short film of two of his dancers that really connected with the piece, Ben Susak & Pam Chu. This was Josh and Katee's inspirational guide. Enjoy."

Ethereal vintage beauties.

 Uh what? BAMF?

Unbelievably beautiful Renaissance-inspired photographs. 

She really got the soft-dark contrast spot on. 

Kind of looks like under-water work no?

Daydreamer

Honestly there isn't much I can say for these photos that they don't scream on their own.

Strikingly beautiful.

Isolation anyone?
