Sunset Diaries

Sunset Diaries is a hodgepodge of photographs, personal recordings, words I live by or was struck by and other random things I want to remember in the future and had the time, patience and presence of mind to post. I am Oli - a rambling, crazy, somewhat idealistic bubble of a person who frequently bursts into song, finds joy in simple things like children, performing, good conversations, learning, quality time with family and friends, musical theater, a good book, beaches, art, and all things made by God.

—Wild Horses (cover)

My friend, Gabby Medina (whose voice is just so beautifully soulful), and I singing a cover of a cover by Alicia Keys and Adam Levine of The Rolling Stones song, Wild Horses. What a beautiful song.

It’s is said to be about Mick Jagger’s old girlfriend, Marianne Faithfull. The story goes something like Mick and Keith Richards both went to see Marianne in the hospital. She was brought in due to an overdose of drugs and alcohol and almost died. The two of them were standing by her side when she came to and one of them said, “Marianne, we thought we’d lost you.” But Marianne replied, “Not even ten wild wild horses could drag me from this world!” 

“Wild horses, couldn’t take me away…”

Ofcourse, I’m not so sure how true or accurate this story is. Nevertheless, it’s such a beautiful song and I hope we did it some justice… well, for sure Gabby did. Enjoy. :)
