tracy chapman: change

i always claim tracy chapman to be my favorite musician of all time.

i believe her lyrics are beautiful and classic because her words speak 

simply to humankind. Her voice is beautifully soothing with such 

contradicting coarseness and then peacefulness, the way you can 

almost feel the air she breathes as she sings. this song seems

appropriate for my life right now, but i do not think i would know

where to start in picking only one favorite song by, tracy chapman.

with peace and love we make music, rebecca hill

dave matthews band: #41

in 5th grade a very peculiar girl moved to my town.  

she was interested in art, music, and i was intrigued.

we became best friends, invented our own secret language, and

listened to music, always talking about our future...

she introduced me to dave matthews band, and we both

remained dedicated fans throughout the high school years,

attending concerts that we were probably too young to be at.

she's now trying out the acting in la, and im going to do the

art and music in chicago. we both inspired each other.

with peace and love we make music, rebecca hill.

elton john: tiny dancer

i grew up in a small beach town in connecticut

music was not huge in my family, but i remember being

about 8 (this is a complete guess), and as my parents and i

were leaving a ballet in hartford, this song came on the radio.

my dad asked me if i knew it was, and artists, names, didn't

really mean anything to me then, but the words struck a

chord. i started dancing when i was three, and i still had a

romantic vision of growing up to be a ballerina living in

new york, dancing with a company, trying to make it big on

broadway. when elton john sang these words to me that

night, as i hopped into my childproofed spot in the back seat

of our boneville i knew that listening to music would help me

to see the world and see myself in a whole new way.

so elton, if you are listening, i hope i made you smile, funky

shades, femme swagger, trendy shirt and all. we all inspire

someone. and we all inspire many that we will never know.

so always listen for the music and you may find this true

more often.

with peace and love we make music, rebecca hill.

Hello to all my followers, 

(for those of you who still exist, since my last

blog identity "inatownclosetoindiana" was 

stolen from me... i apologize to any of you who 

have not been able to find me, but i hope we will

cross paths again)

I was planning on moving to Los Angeles post 

graduation this may, but due to an opportunity

to do some free-lance art work and try out the 

music thing for a bit I will be moving to Chicago.

So much of the focus of this blog will probably 

be in the area... I am really excited about this 

sudden, unexpected, upcoming adventure and I 

hope your ears will all follow me.  I will be only

doing this more now that I am free from the 

stress of college life and without the responsibilities

of a "real job" quite yet... I would like to finish off the 

month of april posting the bands who have influenced

me starting from the very beginning.  I hope these 

posts help you to get to know me a bit better before

I start this summer off in a different key. feel free to

always leave me comments, ideas, thoughts, requests or

anything of the sorts to rebeccahilldesigns4u@gmail.com

now sing with me...

office, loyal divide, kyle andrews, the seedy seeds, coltrane motion, d.j. brad owen

BAJOFONDO WAS AWESOME!

i was pleasantly surprised at just how amazing

bajofondo was at the wexner theatre in columbus this

past friday evening. i highly recommend those of you who

can still catch any of their upcoming shows, to do so.

the band's charisma and energy was reflected in the crowd,

and the quality of tuneage was undeniably unbelievable.

coming from uruguay and argentina, this fusion of music

was soothing, fun, and spicy. all good.

the acoustics at the venue were outstanding and the

entire experience was jubilantly dope.  

congrats to BAJOFONDO for an amazing night

thanks for granting out ears some fine stuff to graze on.

the jukebox ghost: good day

tastes of ferris wheels and rusted steel
