happy monday

listening...

{ 'your rocky spine' ; great lake swimmers ; facebook ; twitter }


this listening post is (quite accidentally) canadian themed today.  there should, perhaps, be an 'eh?' at the end of that sentence?  my mom actually grew up in ontario, cananda, but i'm afraid she didn't impart a lot of her knowledge of canadian slang to us (or maybe i didn't listen)...

first up:
'your rocky spine', from great lake swimmers (also from ontario)... my summer playlists have had a very intimate relationship with this song.


and a new favorite: 'the river', from the modern grass (who hail from nova scotia)

happy thursday

listening...

{ 'four bulbs' ; admiral fallow ; facebook ; twitter }

"and i wake to the wail.

like moan of a bus as it groans to a standstill,

around the block from the place that i'll leave soon;

four bulbs later, bulbs from the lamp that my dad bought me.

so i'll hit the ground running and tear up the streets.

but complain about my face and the pain in my feet,

as i notch up another year until we're all past it.

and the noose around my neck's tightened too much to take."

{ 'hey love' ; miner ; facebook ; twitter }


"we've lost our way, led love astray
your window shakes; the wind can wait
fallen off the ledge
did you leave me for dead?
fell right off of the ledge
will i find you again, love?

hold up your hands if you hear me
i'm coming honey
hold on, hold on
lift up the sun with your love
i've been laying low
so long, so long

these tangled shapes; our hearts can take
your window breaks; our garden fades
still, the wind when it blows
i can hear, i can hear it you know
i know time's movin slow
but if you wait, it can save what you love
and i know that it's you"

{ 'my wilderness' ; piers faccini ; facebook ; twitter }

'My Wilderness':

Cursed and run from town to town His shadow stays like a dog heel down Through the smoke and through the flames From the highest mountains to the lowest plain Redemption brings the final cost He's the walking ghost of your lover lost There are always people who Need someone and now it's you Here was sorrow and here was I Here was anger and here was my Wilderness where I'd remain Emptiness forever retain So count with me the battle scars They're our memories behind the bars Sister sister tell me it's true Do you need someone like I want you There are always people who Need someone and now it's you Sister sister tell me it's true Do you need someone like I want you ....................... happy tuesday

happy thursday

listening...

{ 'london's rose' ; douglas dare ; facebook ; twitter }

douglas dare was nice enough to send me the link to his brand new video, a live recording of 'london's rose' >>> how happy i am that he did.  this is just the music which makes me both eager and excited to share...

such beauty in the voice, the song, and (maybe even most powerfully) the emotion behind the words.  a soul-piercing, breath-taking, giving performance.  and the setting is perfect.  simple and haunting.

there seems to be this fluctuating dance between the piano and the voice.  at times a quiet, harmonious sway... only to build to an emotional, push and pull struggle.  a battle of wills.  both equally beautiful.
