Brother & Bones - In your arms @ LES ACCORDS DEHORS (by Les Accords Dehors)
Cool Folk
This song is a very powerful demonstration of what good lyrics and harmony can do to your mind. A song is like a book, only more emotional. You hear it, feel it and choose the meaning that suits you more. I love music.

This Weekend’s Hashtag Project: #WHPwaiting
Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes & hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a photo announcing the weekend’s project every Friday
The goal this weekend is to capture photographs of places or scenes that represent waiting. Some tips to help you notice those time-wasting behaviors: look for people sitting and waiting for a bus, in the waiting room at a doctor’s office, waiting for laundry to dry, or a dog patiently waiting outside for its owner to return.
PROJECT RULES: Please only add the hashtag #WHPwaiting to photos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs to the project. Any image taken then tagged over the weekend is eligible to be featured right here Monday morning!
Facebook voice messages
Facebook is continuing to fine-tune and adapt its Messenger mobile apps (iOS/Android), today pushing live updates which include a potentially disruptive feature: voice messages. The iOS and Android Messenger apps (which will be available later today) have been outfitted with a new option alongside the photo and camera buttons, offering a ‘Record’ toggle that can be pushed and held to record voice messages. (via Facebook launches voice in iOS and Android Messenger apps, tests VoIP calling in Canada - The Next Web)
I like this idea and I will definitely give it a go. Normally I hate voice messages. It’s such a chore to call the operator voice message number and listen to “You have 2 new messages from the 21st of December…” etc. This solution seems way more attractive. It will however not replace standard voice messages. I don’t know about you, but the people who still leave me voice messages have barely heard about Facebook.
I tested it today, works great but It is still not worth the download of the Messages app for me.
