HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS
#EmilyDickinson
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -

“At The Purchaser's Option” - Rhiannon Giddens at Augusta Vocal Week 2016

Rhiannon Giddens no es sólo una artistaza y uno de mis grandes referentes del folk. Es además un referente como ser humano.

I feel it flyin by

But everything I could ever want

Why chase that dollar
