Day 414 - Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth

DAY 414
Iron & Wine - "Flightless Bird, American Mouth"
From "Twilight Soundtrack"



I recently discovered Iron & Wine (a.k.a. Sam Beam)having heard this specific song on the movie "Twilight" which I personally loved. (The movie and the book series.)

I know nothing of this amazing artist but am certain that will be changing shortly as this live performance, just blew me away!!!

As strange as the lyrics may seem they are quite intriguing and oddly romantic. The words are extremely dreamy and romantic when coupled with this genius musical arrangement. You must give it at least one listen.

It sounds like you threw some oldies doo-whop and some classic folk music in a bag, shook it up, and viola! Magical music!!! :D

You can hear the studio version of this song on this YouTube clip.

Day 413 - Ellis Paul - Take All The Sky You Need

DAY 413
Ellis Paul - "Take All The Sky You Need"
From "American Jukebox Fables"



Glenn and I were both completely floored the other day when we realized that neither of us had chosen this song on our top 10,000 blogs. Seriously... this is one of my all time favorite Ellis songs. This is one of the most wonderfully romantic songs I have ever heard.

The lyrics that grab you are:

"If you want to run I'll pack my suitcase
If you want to stay I'll make a front door key
And if you need space... to fly... free
Take all the sky you need."

That is love. Making compromises. Staying or going along side. And sometimes letting go just enough to be able to continue to hold on.

Giving a love that is genuine and unconditional.

Agape love. (Divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love.)

You can check out Ellis Paul performing this song live at Makor on this YouTube clip. Pure magic.

Day 412 - April March - Chick Habit

DAY 412
April March - "Chick Habit"
From "Death Proof Original Soundtrack"



So I discovered this song on one of my goood friends MySpace profiles and LOVE it! It reminds me of The Munsters TV show theme in a way.

I have never heard April March's music before that I know of but am familiar with some projects she has apparently been a part of in the past according to her wikipedia profile.

The song is just fun and retro sounding and I really enjoy it. Once I found it I had to listen to it at least 5 times in a row! Check it out on this YouTube clip.
