"I no longer think being in love is the polar opposite of being alone, however. I say that because I used to want to be in love again as I assumed this was the opposite of loneliness. I think being in love is an opposite of loneliness, but not the opposite. There are other things I now crave when I am lonely, like community, like friendship, like family. I think our society puts too much pressure on romantic love, and that is why so many romances fail. Romance can’t possibly carry all that we want it to." - Donald Miller



Sebby,

I got you something, but I wanted to surprise you in a creative way, rather than just telling you. Enjoy!

Love your friend,
Karen

  • Sleepy003 1 year ago
    that was so lovely/sad to watch, thank you.

    so much feeling/expression comes from the vid and the words.
  • haha it's not too sad, compared to the one on loneliness, i think that was the most heart wrenching to watch. This one is a happy..Well I suppose it's meant to be "hopeful" more than happy.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this.

    Feelings and expression come with easy when creating for those we care about.

    wow! Karen! that was so amazingly soothing! :]
    that omnichord looks cool?what sound does it make? lol :]
    p.s-whose playing in the soundtrack?
  • Aww thanks friend!

    The omnichord sounds like this youtube.com/watch?v=XYIUwlMVS8E I wanted to actually use it to make the soundtrack, but I didn't want to..yet. hahha.

    The song is "Rugla" by Amiina

    So wonderful. Actually the lyrics are pretty funny:

    " ég er ugla
    su-sumar ugla"

    English translation:
    "I'm an owl
    su-summer owl"

    hahah have a great day!

    fantastic as usual. I've noticed watching a few of your videos that you have excellent taste in music. what was that track?
  • Thank a lot Eric! The song is "Rugla" by Amiina.

    and i agree with eric, great music. it's true, a good track just makes it even better, and is so very important.
  • agreed :-) It's always interesting to see different videos on here with the same songs and how drastically your feelings and emotions towards that song are.

  • Juliana 1 year ago
    There is something about your videos that always makes me smile.
    Thank you!
  • That's a really kind thing for you to say, and that makes me smile as well.

    I don't know what the "something" is...hee hee. Probably when you start making videos from your heart and not to please an audience, everything flows very organically and people can relate to it on a more profound level.

    I thank you for that.

  • Jan van der Meer plus 1 year ago

    Thanks so much sir :-)

  • ChriZZZ Emerson 1 year ago
    HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!! I thought that My omnchord was the last in existence. I have a system 100. its missing buttons and i don't have the proper adapter for it anymore. BUT this video blows my mind! because i now see that not only do you have an omnichord you have two! we should start a super cool omnichord owners group. we could make Billions! I'm not sure how, but i know it would work.

    Also love is awesome, i spread it on my life like butter on the toast of a child who has not yet figured out how much butter to put on his toast, so he just gobbs it on there.

    Much Love Karen
  • Actually there's a huge crazy story behind these two guys...which I won't really get into on here. But...

    Seb wanted an omnichord for a little bit and by some weird chance, I was able to acquire (through crazy means), not one, but TWO. The one I am giving him is the 300, I am keeping the 100. Luckily, his is in pristine/almost new condition. Mine needs some tender loving care.

    As far as the adapter, neither of mine came with it but I was able to get one from Radio Shack..just a regular 12V AC adapter.

    Oh no what buttons is yours missing?

    Omnichords are magical magical things full of dreams and love.

    :-)

    nice i see you haven't been lazy during the five hundred thousand years i haven't been on here :)
    personified synthesizers and fake animals that catch your interest :) i wouldn't have expected anything less :)

    great music by amiina. i would have guessed sigur ros, first. iceland seems to bring forth some nice fairytale-bands :)
  • hahaha Martin!!!

    I know I'm getting super busy now that grad school has started up, so I just needed to get all these silly exercises out of my system all summer.


    I dream of being in iceland one day..that's my fairytale.

    :-0

    glad to see you around again!
