Btsk - MS MR

In love with this song right now, thought I'd share. The rest of the album is great, too!

And, yeah, I'm still around! :)

Of Monsters and Men - King and Lionheart

I love, love, love Of Monsters and Men. I saw them perform twice last year. The second time I paid a ridiculous amount of money to see them because the show was sold out but I really, really wanted to see them again. It was so worth it. The first time I saw them was too short. That time was at Osheaga and they only had around 20 minutes to perform, in the scorching, stifling summer heat, but it was great! And worth the sweat dripping down my legs and the dust blowing and sticking onto my skin (that was so disgusting, boy did that shower I took when I got home feel good). They are really great live, whether outdoors or inside a cozy concert venue. They just released the video for "King and Lionheart", one of my favourite songs from them. Take a look and a listen! It's a very eye catching video.

 

I am looking forward to anything they have in the works!

Lord Huron - The Ghost on the Shore

I thought I would share with you one of the songs I am currently in love with. Lord Huron's "The Ghost on the Shore" is a beautiful song. It is one of those songs that tell a story. The lyrics are just great.

I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
All the dead seem to know where I am
The tale that began on the night of my birth
Will be done in a turn of the earth

 

It has a folksy feel to it (must be the harmonica), which I am really into right now. They even sound a little bit country, but I don't really mind that. I grew up with my dad blasting Conway Twitty, George Jones, Red Sovine, and company. In any case, I think Lord Huron is a great band and this is a great song, along with "In the Wind". Both songs are from their "Lonesome Dreams" album.

Take a listen:

 

There is still hope for music!
