summertime and singing. let the harmonies ring through the haze. give in to optimism for once, let yourself hope. maybe just let yourself go.
department of eagles - no one does it like you
classy. jazz, soul, a skip and swing. a breeze in an old sidesteet cafe, little cups of sweet coffee, remembering and regretting a loved one, fingers tied in a sad solo waltz. if only it was easy.
grizzly bear - all we ask
harmonies. simple golden harmonies. loose, french, jazzy. a paris cab driving round london, a world in a world.
my morning jacket - touch me i'm going to scream (pt 2)
jim james/my morning jacket are just awesome. i love this, i love the bleeps, the slides, his haunting vocals; the sense of muggy nights full of fireflies and crickets, a night full of mystery and edge, some luring realm so easy to slide into but hard to escape from. he looks like a mage aswell. i just find that funny.
ryan adams - sinking ships
so in sync. it's night, but its cornfield rushing by, it's nothing but horizons and straight highways. it's heading west, whatever that may be. stuff like this is why i listen to so much old music, and yet some are doing it now and doing it so well.
sufjan stevens - the mistress witch from mcclure
sufjan makes me want to play the banjo. really bad. something so honest about it, so homespun, something to confess to when writing, something to tell a stroy to. he writes the sweetest songs, some of the saddest summer songs.
