Cross My Heart And Hope To…
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 3 Comments
I have made absolutely zero progress on completing my year end list this weekend. I had such high aspirations too… Just could not get motivated at all, I am a little disappointed with myself but I always do seem to work best under pressure.
Not really sure why I am just getting around to posting this song, one of the benefits of going back through the music collection I suppose.

And I’ll Grasp The Waves

I am quiet this evening. Calm, contemplative and a little lazy. Brad Senne’s delicate folk melodies are the perfect accompaniment for this night…

We both sat, on our beds, in my room.
And we talked about what was coming soon.
All the pink powder wont cover up what we did.
Doing wrong when, we were just kids.And I think that you’re the older brother,
that I never had.
I wish I could reach out and touch you.
Don’t worry, I’m not sad.
I know you’re just where you want to be,
and everyone’s a hundred grand.
Save some space for me,
and say hello to your dad.I will look after your sister I swear.
I’ll write her when she’s lonely, and send it off in the air.
I will keep her safe, until I’m dead.
She’ll always have a place to rest her head.
You don’t have to worry about it now,
you don’t have to live with that frown.
I will hold your memory close to my chest,
though I wish you hadn’t said it was best.
Could you have stayed just one more night,
for all of us to say good bye.
But all of your troubles are now gone,
you still feel so damn warm.

I think we should celebrate the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday with fabulous folk-pop from a septet that hails from Seattle. Hey Marseilles has trotted right into my heart with their bold instrumental sound and European folk melodies.

When I heard the music of Harlowe and The Great North Woods it was an instant love affair. Acoustic guitar folky goodness, how could I possibly resist?

Family Of The Year – Chugjug Video
Filed Under Music Mix Up | Leave a Comment
No reason to give away free music when the digital download is only $4.
Just came across Family of the Year recently and I dived right in. Their debut full length, Songbook was released in 2009 and it had a handful of gems.
More recently they released a 5 song EP, Through The Trees which I am currently listening to on repeat.

You Say You Spin Life Down

You can say Fistful of Mercy can be defined as a super group… The band is compiled of Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son). They create a mix of singer-songwriter melodies infused with a bluesy folk rock. I am digging their debut album and I think you will as well. Enjoy. xX

We Were Meant To See

The weather outside today was perfection. Cloudy, cold and just a light drizzle. Bliss.
Just the right weather for a little S. Carey, he recently took some time from drumming for Bon Iver to make his debut album, All We Grow. He has some beautiful folk melodies on this debut.

I Only Wish I Had Been Kinder

There has been so much music flowing through my ears lately that I am just getting to the new album from The Weepies. It was released in August and they will be touring all over the States in October-November.
Delicious folk-pop, like eating candy. Their music makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect after a very long dreadful day.
