Norah Jones - “Sunrise”

…Couldn’t tempt us if it tried

this is a couple years old, but it really grabbed me for the first time earlier today.  i guess i was just in that perfect lazy mood when it came on.

i always love her smooth, bluesy piano.  the muted picking at the end of this song is awesome.

Ray LaMontagne - “Jolene”

for all the great, sad songs called Jolene, i just don’t enough Jolene’s out there.  regardless, it takes nothing away from the song.

last week, i saw a lady wearing a shirt with this image on it.  she said she had no idea who Ray LaMontagne was; she just liked the image of a girl being led on by the devil. 
she was a cool lady.

Katie Herzig - “Wish You Well”

i’m treading on the softer side here with a Nashville artist who i heard last night on the way home.  this came on the radio as i was coming back from seeing another friend Haley Shaw at the mercy lounge.  both of these girls are recent songwriting immigrants to Nashville with a nice acoustic.  i enjoyed both of their music last night as well as their similarities in story and sound.

i’ll be sure to get another post of Haley’s music up soon.

Xavier Rudd - “Messages”

here’s an old favorite of mine that i wanted to pull out.  after three weeks of hanging out on the water, working on sailboats up in northern Michigan, and hanging out in the woods… i came back to Nashville in the last day. earlier, i was planning to make my comeback post one from counting crows—to reflect some of the moods i’ve been when alone in the last couple days.  instead, i wanted this, a song about coping with changes and lifting yourself out of doldrums.  “so hold nice and close…”

RHCP ca. 1991 - Under the Bridge (acoustic) headed out on a roadtrip with my brother yesterday. up to michigan to visit grandparents and work on boats on the lake for a couple weeks. of course, during the drive yesterday we started going through our roadtrip music, which largely consisted of RHCP from the 90’s. so, i dug up this video and hope you enjoy it as much as i do. it’s too bad to see them without flea, but it’s a bit of rush to see frusciante & kiedis up close from 18 years ago—pre-crippling heroin addiction & when i thought he was the biggest badass on earth, respectively.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
