When We Come Running by Youngblood Hawke hit the chorus for the first time it sent shivers down my spine. This song is really cool and Youngblood Hawke has a really different and refreshing sound.
Gypsy Eyes has become my favorite Jimi Hendrix song. This song demonstrates Hendrix’s amazing guitar ability and is a true pleasure to listen to.
The song Tahiti has a sound that could be compared to that of Florence from Florence and the Machine. However the song is also drastically different with more of a traditional choir feel during the chorus.
Lately my taste in music as been leaning more and more towards folk. One Red Thread has the perfect balance of folk and Indie Rock that I have been yearning for.
State Hospital is really a beautiful song with an amazing theme behing the lyrics. I have been listening to this song on repeat for hours.
At Home by Crystal Fighters gives me the feel of electro and tribal music mixed together. These two very different generes of music are expertly mixed and create an explosion of wonderful sound.
10 years by Earlimart is a nice chill song. Beautiful lyrics and a nice melody pair together to create a nice sound that’s perfect fo a quiet afternoon.
Jah Didn’t Kill Johnny by Sage Francis is not only funny and really chill, but it also makes me want to dance. This song has a really cool earthy Bob Dylan feel (it’s the harmonica) and a more modern feel hidden in it as well. This is currently my favorite song and it’s been on repeat forever. I think I’m addicted.
In Young and Cold, The Raveonettes managed to capture not only a twang folky sound, but also a slight rock sound. I really like how they intertwined a bit of piano in the song as well. All around this song really comes together to be something amazing.
Fiction might be my new favorite The xx song. This is a song I can really connect to from the rhythm to the lyrics. The xx has just outdone themselves on Coexist all around. Really I recommend anything to do with The xx.
This man has a beautiful voice and lyrics. Never Be Alone by Matt Walters is definitely an example of his artistry. Everyone should check him out.
Wow is all I can say. Angles by The xx is beautiful and touching. I honestly can’t believe I have never come across this band before.
Lish’s post of the week: How Six Songs Collide by Norwegian Recycling
Since I didn’t post last week, I’m making it up to you guys with two songs, one today and one tomorrow. This song isn’t something I would normally post, but I had to share it. This six songs in this mix are:
I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, Collide by Howie Day, Superman by Five For Fighting, Always Getting Over You by Angela Ammons, All That I Need by Boyzone, and Here Without You by 3 Doors Down.
Too often song mix-ups can sound forced, or like the originals were altered too much to make it work. But here, an extremely smooth mix-up is accomplished with all six songs. Talk about skill!
This song is from a singer/songwriter named Kristin Errett. She has a lot of talent and will definitely go far.
I really like the artist Keane. The music of his I’ve heard so far is generally softer. This song is a bit faster and I really like how he crafted it.
Broken Bones by Aqualung is a beautiful song. I really like how this song conveys a friendship between three people. I feel like every other song I listen to is just a love song, so this song is really refreshing.
