Duet

19. Everything Everything - Duet



I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired.

Friday night, don't ever let it end

17. Spector - Friday night, don’t ever let it end



But what could be more beautiful than a weekend in the rain?

No rest

When you listen to this song for the first time you don't see it coming, you don't expect what it turns into.
Really, you don't.
Then you simply love it and start pressing the play button like a madman.

11. Dry the River - No rest



Did you see the light in my heart?

Under the Westway

I have been talking lately about bands getting back together and recording new albums, but not all of them do the same.

After a six year hiatus, Blur reunited in 2009 for a couple of concerts. The positive reviews their comeback drew lead them to headline at several Summer festivals, but there were no news of a new record.
2010 brought their documentary No distance left to run, which earned them their first Grammy nomination (for Best long form music video), and the new song Fool's day. Still no news of a new album.
Early on 2012, despite them saying that the time for a new record had not come yet, producer William Orbit's tweets made it clear that the band was back in the studio. However, in May he announced that recording had halted. The pressure was too much, they didn't want to rush things and maybe they were not ready for the commitment an album involves.
Luckily, on July 2 they released the singles The Puritan and Under the Westway.

9. Blur - Under the Westway



There were blue skies in my city today.

That golden rule

Probably the most epic song ending ever.

7. Biffy Clyro - That golden rule



I wanna scream one last death medley.

Call me maybe

It's not what it seems!
Okay, maybe it is, but just a little.
The song is everywhere, that's a fact. Luckily for you, I'm not here to post the original, by Carly Rae Jepsen, but one of its (thousands of) covers.
Don't run yet, please! I swear it's worth it!
Ben Howard's cover sounds like a completely different song, definitely not the typical Summer song, but something deeper, with a meaning of some kind, even though the lyrics are what they are.

I'm aware that it's totally unfair for this to be the first Ben Howard song I post in this blog, since he has great songs of his own: The Wolves, The Fear, Old pine, Only love...
I promise to go back to him sometime.
Probably soon.

4. Ben Howard - Call me maybe



Hey, I just met you and this is crazy.

Fail for you

I'm in constant search for new music, and I become extremely happy when I find something new (meaning new to me) that amazes me. This has been the case of my discovery of the week: Luke Sital-Singh.
I listened to I have been a fire a couple of nights ago on the radio and I instantly fell in love with it. It sounds to me like Damien Rice mixed with a little David Gray. You'll have to agree with me that can only sound great... and it really does.

I haven't been able to find a Youtube link for the song, so I'll leave you with another one: Fail for you.

3. Luke Sital-Singh - Fail for you



I recommend you go visit this site, where you can listen to the four songs his E.P. Fail for you is composed of. Among those tracks you will find the one I was talking about before: I have been a fire.

Press play. Close your eyes. Enjoy.

The only thing I couldn't do is fail for you.

I will wait

Beginnings are always hard. That is why it took me more than a week to get this post done.
The main problem wasn't this text, but the song I would choose to start this new blog: there are so many songs in my head...
My hunger for music never stops, and it's exactly that hunger what brings me here: I want to share the songs I love, I want you to tell me which ones are your favourites, I want to discover amazing artists I don't know yet and help you do the same...
I think my point is already clear, so it's time for me to shut up and let you enjoy the music.

For this first post I chose I will wait, the first single of the upcoming Mumford & Songs album, Babel, which will be out on September 24 2012.
It's a great start, isn't it?

And I will wait I will wait for you.
