Still blogging...

Hey everyone!

So I created this blog for my time in Barcelona without the intention of continuing to post after I got back to the states, but I was hit today with an incredible urge to blog! So, elenabarcelona lives on!

I was inspired to blog by a band that I have recently discovered - the xx. I have been hearing about this band for a while and finally decided to listen... they are incredible! What makes them stand out to me, besides the uniqueness and beauty of their melodies, is the voice of the female lead, Romy Madley Croft. Even though I have a classical singing background, I really do appreciate "unique" voices (ahem John Darnielle). However, Croft's voice is refreshingly and undeniably gorgeous.

AND they are British, and what can I say, I have a soft spot for British bands.

So I'm trying to figure out how to play music on this blog, I'm gonna go work on that now.

Till later,

Elena
