Top Five Fridays - April 6, 2007
"The room still looks like you
it's a mess and all the pictures on the shelf are
dusted off by someone else
to keep me company
I haven't told her that your thought still lingers on"
Top Five Fridays - April 6, 2007
Top five songs to listen to via MySpace.
5) Willoughby - "Frankinstein"
I really like how soft and easy going this little ditty is. It'll put a smile on your face, and make you bounce back and forth.
4) Zac Keiller - "I Don't Want To Breathe"
This track is from Zac's unofficial score for the comic book mini-series 30 Days of Night, written by Steve Niles and illustrated hauntingly by Ben Templesmith. The entire is CD really sets the tone for the barren wasteland of Barrow Alaska, and perfectly underscores the utter chaos occurring in the comics. Keiller's score is a perfect match to Templesmith's artwork. David Slade should, but won't, take notice, and utilize some of Keiller's pieces.
3) William Fitzsimmons - "It's Not True"
As good as the music is, the tale spun makes it a hundred times better. I especially love the verse where he sings about being with someone else, yet still longing for "the girl." Brilliant tune. When you listen to the song, and you will, google the lyrics so that you may read along.
2) Josh Haden - "Hallelujah"
It was hard to narrow it down to just one song. All are beautiful songs, but picking just one means singling out "Hallelujah." I just love how it plays out. It has a stunning diversity between Haden's vocals and the dark, moody music underneath. His work with/as Spain was always top notch, and I'm glad that his solo album is seeing the light of day. Go buy the album. Go now!
1) Soulsavers - "Revival"
The only tune that can beat out Haden is this one. I've probably played this song a hundred times if once. I love the keys. Love the vocals. I just flat out love every damn thing about this song. What pisses me off is that the CD is not available in the US yet. For now I'll have to be content with the availability on MySpace, and hope they don't take it down anytime soon. Also, watch the video. It's just as stunning as the song.
Until next time:
