Oren Lavie: Her Morning Elegance

I know, I know. I missed my music blog post this Wednesday. Instead of blogging, I was curled up on the couch with hot lemon ginger tea in one hand and a box of kleenex in the other. *sigh* Spring cold season.

But, I won't short change you. I'll give you a quick music post *and* a Grab Bag Friday post, all in one day. How about that? All is forgiven?

For the music: a lovely, whimsical video by Oren Lavie (remember his beautiful Dance Round the Memory Tree in the Narnia movie?) I've been loving this song recently:

Oren Lavie: A Dance 'Round the Memory Tree

Here's another lovely song from the end of the Prince Caspian movie.

I had never heard of Oren Lavie, but according to his bio on Tuition, he's originally from Tel Aviv and just came out with his debut album, Opposite Side of the Sea. If you want the ultra-quick version of the bio, I liked Muzorama's sum-up. You can listen to the whole album and flip through the pages of some very cool virtual liner notes, lyrics, and reviews at www.orenlavie.com.
