Allison Moorer: “Like It Used to Be”

I have been a big fan of Allison Moorer‘s music since her 1998 album Alabama Song, which featured “A Soft Place to Fall,” which had appeared in the movie The Horse Whisperer. Her albums such as The Duel (2004) and The Hardest Part (2000) are among my favorite albums of all time. So, I am looking forward to her upcoming release, Down to Believing, her eighth studio CD.

One of the powerful songs on the upcoming album full of personal music is “Like It Used to Be.” Listen to it below.

Rolling Stone notes that the upcoming album is a “stunning and revelatory collection about family and relationships,” inspired in part by the dissolution of Moorer’s marriage to Steve Earle and by the autism diagnosis of her son. Down to Believing, which was recorded in Nashville, will be released March 17, 2015.

    “Wanderers” Video on the Future of Space Exploration

    space exploration
    Erik Wernquist, a digital artist and animator from Sweden, has created a stunning video showing the future of space exploration called Wanderers. The video depicts real places in our Solar System, using digital effects to create what they might look like.

    Take the tour, using narration from the late Carl Sagan, to see what future generations might get to see for real.

    The Carl Sagan narration is taking from the astronomer’s reading of his book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994). Wernquist explains that his non-profit production of the video is designed “to enlighten and inspire.”
