The best songs of this autumn -meme
Got a nice meme from Marianne:
"The best songs of this autumn that can be either brand new or older. Post a list of the top 5 favorite songs of the moment, and then ask 5 other bloggers to do the same"
Hmm it's going to be tough to pick the songs. You see, I rely on my iTunes library really heavily. I add new songs daily/weekly, and listen to them in the order of what is newest. And due to some computer updates, I had to reinstall everything, and lost my "music history"... a lot of favourites have gone missing in action, lost among all the thousands of songs I have. So I'm slowly re-discovering my music, thanks to the Genius feature added to the latest iTunes version... But anyways, I'll pick top 5 of my favourites that I've found so far from my library.
Damien Rice - Slow
Last year in his concert Damien sang this little, touching song that I've been trying to find ever since then, with only the line "our dance is almost over" ringing in my head (and isn't that just the perfect line?). I finally succeeded and found it on YouTube (Where would I be without YouTube... my love for music videos is possibly even stronger than for just audio) My heart breaks every time I listen to it.
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Heart breaking, heart touching song. And the live version in Jools Holland... when his voice breaks it makes my heart ache for him.
Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance
Another music blog or Grey's Anatomy discovery. Possibly both. Not sure what caught me first: the voice, the lyrics or the instruments in the background.
George Laswell - Sing, Theresa Says
This was a discovery from a music blog. I just love the "da di dum di dum di dum dum"...
Citizen Cope - Fame
I don't really remember how I came across this
song for the first time. Probably in one of the many music blogs I
frequently read... If you know my music taste, you wouldn't expect me
to like this song based on the first few notes. But the song and the
voice somehow caught my attention and made me fall in love with the song.
There are so many more than top 5 songs I wold have liked to post here. But I'll stop at these, because they are worth getting the spotlight to themselves. I tried adding songs with female singers to the list, honestly, I did. But it just wasn't meant to be...
