Will-o-the-Wisps (Say Something by A Great Big World - Cover)

Finally! I've tried submitting this blog post twice already now... the internet just isn't what it was. But here we go! Finally, my first blog post from Ethiopia! I guess the third time was the charm.

So I keep hearing the word "will-o'-the-wisps" and for a while I had no idea what it meant. I heard the word twice and asked John what they were, but he did not know. Then I read the word in 'Dr. Zhivago' and did not understand what it was talking about. Then I watched 'Brave' for the first time the other day, and apparently will-o'-the-wisps live in ancient Scotland and Ireland, because in the film it said that the will-o'-the-wisps lead you to your fate. Maybe I have one leading me to mine.  The dictionary definition of it is as follows: "Will-o'-the-wisp (Ignis Fattus): Also called friar's lantern, a will-o'-the-wisp is a flitting, phosphorescent lights seen at night, chiefly over marshy ground, and believed to be due to spontaneous combustion of gas from decomposed organic matter." Oooh. Magical. 

The reason I am combining this song with my little anecdote about will-o'-the-wisps (other than the word is fun to say), is because one of my favorite lines of this song is "anywhere I would have followed you." It just seems to fit. And also, I like this song. So, yeah... enjoy!
