while randomly looking up something or other on YouTube (a sad habit which has become mine since becoming a varsity student) i happened to stumble across an animated video of Kate Nash's song Nicest Thing, made by someone awesome called musicANDmuffins. i was enchanted… because there is something so sweet and moving about the characters in the animation! so i made haste in looking up all the other animations which this muffinsy-music person had made, and now i will share my favourites with you.

here is the original one i found. can i just mention that Kate Nash is amazing? and that this song is beautiful? i think it appeals to the romantic in many a girl :)

 

this is the awesome muffin person's animation for Coldplay's song Yellow. on top of everything else that is ever-so-sweet about this animation, i love the version of Yellow which has been used! …just thought i'd throw that in there :)

the next gem is an animation of Laura Marling's song Alas I Cannot Swim. i'm ashamed to say i hadn't heard of Laura before i came across these lovely little videos, but i am very much liking her now! extra-specially this song.

 

 

last but definitely not least is my favourite of all my favourites… which, you must know, is a difficult thing for me to say. this is an animation of KT Tunstall's Throw Me A Rope, which is another song i hadn't heard before discovering these darling animations. i find KT's songs - particularly her quieter, more acoustic songs - so haunting and moving, and Throw Me A Rope is no different. i think we can all relate to the feeling of missing someone but knowing that it's important to find our way through that missing-ness. it is bittersweet and beautiful and hopeful. i love the song, and i love the muffinsy person's portrayal of the song's lyrics, and i hope you do, too :)
