Changing Seasons
Filed Under Album Picks | 1 Comment
For the last 2 months I have been obsessed with Sea Wolf’s new album Old World Romance. I can’t say I have always been their #1 fan, in fact it took this third full length album to really get me to dive deep into their discography. I say “their” loosely considering the band is made up of lead singer and founder Alex Church and a band of backing musicians that started off as a rotating bunch (currently the band consists of Theodore Liscinski, Lisa Fendelander, Joey Ficken). I think you hear that disconnect in the first couple of albums, a lack of inspiration and connection with the music. However, on Old World Romance Church goes back within himself to find inspiration and he does a great job of connecting with what he wants, who he is and what he wants his music to say about him. With this new album we get a collection of songs that are a bit more darker than his previous but still in the beautiful style that is Sea Wolf. An album that is well crafted and because of that I find myself coming back to it quite frequently.
Old World Romance 2012 (Dangerbird Records)
I watched you sleeping and could not believe it
You and I beneath shadows on ceiling
You seem so different so much younger than before
I’m still the impostor with my suitcase on the floorSometimes the feeling coming back
I feel that darkness at my back
That’s why I’m always being engine
And you can fool it till the season’s changingOutside the windows of canyons of buildings
Some storm came down washed away the silence
Even when the roof filled up began the some beans
Still solve the curtains and love that seemsSometimes the feeling coming back
I feel that darkness at my back
That’s why I’m always rearranging
And you can fool it till the season’s changingAnd I’m still looking forward
Oh I’m still looking forwardI put on the brave face
Left some words on paper legs
Hoping that I would some day come to be
A man you always saw in meSometimes the feeling coming back
I feel that darkness at my back
That’s why I’m always rearranging
And you can fool it till the season’s changing
Till the season’s changing
Till the season’s changing
Till the season’s changing
Till the season’s changingAnd I’m still looking forward, yeah I’m still looking forward

Broken Chair
Filed Under Album Picks | 5 Comments
I heard this song tonight when a Google Chrome commercial came on. Even though I have DVR there will always be some commercials that I end up watching. This was one that I could not miss and I am so glad I didn’t. It made me cry, laugh and I fell head over heels in love with the song accompanying the very touching video. I also fell in love with the rest of the album, it is ever so lovely. Link to the video here.
Broken Chair – Chris and Thomas
Land of Sea 2006 (Defend Music)
You breathe, you learn, you lose.
You take, you break, you choose.
And as, you learn, and cry.
You do, your best, and try.And as, the days, go by.
It makes you, wonder why.
You try so hard, so hard.
To mend what’s bound to fall apartOoh maybe it’s time
To let it go
Ooh maybe it’s time
For taking it slowOoh maybe it’s time, time, time
For anything at all
Time, time, time, to let it all fall
Where it mayAnd as, the world, goes on.
You try, to walk, and sing along.
And hope, some things, will stay.
And every tune that you play.Ooh maybe it’s time
To let it go
Ooh maybe it’s time
For taking it slowOoh maybe it’s time, time, time
For anything at all
Time, time, time, to let it all fall
Where it may
Ooh…
Ooh…And as, your life, goes on.
You deal with, what comes along.
Some friends, they come, and stay.
Some leave and, go their way.Ooh…
Ooh…
