Day 409 - Heidi Newfield - Johnny and June

DAY 409
Heidi Newfield - "Johnny and June"
From "What Am I Waiting For"



I heard this song about a week ago one time while watching CMT which I admit, I do from time to time because I do enjoy a very select number of country songs and am always interested in hearing new good country songs. I have not been able to get this song off my brain since I heard it so it much like my last pick has become an instant favorite. This song really depicts the kind of country music I tend to enjoy.

This song has heart and I relate to it in the biggest of ways. The love between Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash was one of epic proportions and thier romance was one of the greatest of our time. I feel like my and my husbands love is very similar. Not perfect but perfectly imperfect and suites each of us perfectly. One can not be without the other.

I know little of Heidi Newfield aside from what little information I have read, but I think she must have talent to write a song this wonderful.

Check out her website for more info and definitely check out the video so you can hear the song.

Day 408 - In This Moment - Into The Light

DAY 408
In This Moment - "Into The Light"
From "The Dream"



Glenn and I had the pleasure of seeing In This Moment when they opened for Rob Zombie here in Spokane this last spring. Their performance was really awesome, which was tough given the performer they were opening for. :)

The lead vocalist, Maria Brink, dresses like Alice in wonderland at times but is a bad ass version for sure. She is fabulous in her vocal diversity. She can scream and growl with precision but also has an amazingly strong and beautiful vocal ability as well.

This track depicts her softer side. Check out some other performances on YouTube. Their videos are well done and entertaining.

DAY 407
Plain White T's - "1, 2, 3, 4"
From "Big Bad World"



I really enjoy The Plain White T's music and when I very first heard this song I fell in love with it. Sometimes you just need a simple yet well written fun love song and this song is just wonderful.

Check out the song on this YouTube clip.... and then buy the album. :)

Day 406 - Ellis Paul - Seven

DAY 406
Ellis Paul - "Seven"
From "Translucent Soul"



This album will always hold a very special place in my heart and my music collection as it was the first album I ever purchased and listened to by my musical hero, Ellis Paul.

This song is a beautifully written song, (like so many by Ellis), but the lyrics are particularly intense. And the way Ellis expresses the vocals you really just get lost in the experience that the song is.

The song speaks for itself.... if you take the time to find this song and listen to it you will not be disappointed that you did. Here are the lyrics for your reading pleasure... :)

Seven times I traced your number
Just one finger to your voice
Seven times I put the receiver down
Seven times I tried to write you
But I cannot make your choice
Your lips they move,
But they make no sound


And what the cost
What the price
I'm the brunt of friends' advice
Don't look up till you feel the ground . . .


I'm letting go 'cause holdin' on is killing me
My timing can be criminally slow
Too little too late
Criminally slow


Seven times I asked forgiveness
Seven times I'll wait you out
Seasons will change before words come round
And in my search for reasons
I will wash away the doubt
That came wrapped inside a wedding gown


And what the price
What the cost
Is this the poetry of loss
The past we build is all torn down?


I'm letting go 'cause holdin' on is killing me
My timing can be criminally slow
Is it never too late?
Criminally slow
