I think that, in a past life, I was somehow involved in the music industry. Music is a huge passion of mine! Concerts, albums, recommended by friends, found by accident, it doesn't matter - let me at it.
Snow Patrol - This Isn't Everything You Are - I think that this song came into my mind recently when dealing with tough times with my chronic illness. The title is true, chronic illness doesn't have to define who you are, even if it's hard to see past it at times. Music is the best medicine!
Ed Sheeran - Lego House - Okay, even though he's blown up on every Top-40 radio station and looks like the redhead from Harry Potter (at least in this video), this song caught my attention yesterday. I could also just be a sucker for a cute love song here and there...
Guster - Homecoming King - I've always had love for Guster for years, and this song makes me think back to college when the album, Keep It Together, came out. I was still pretty new to Massachusetts, and the state gets a shout-out... stuck in my mind from that point on, I guess!
Susan Tedeschi - Back to the River - Um, have you heard the voice on this woman? Sing it, Susan.
Stars - Take Me To The Riot - Been listening to them a lot lately for some reason! Missed their Boston show, which was a bummer. I need to see them again! They put on such a great show, really a must-see.
Chatting this evening with my friend Brian, he told me about a band from England called Morning Parade:
... and check 'em out I did. I was not disappointed, and definitely hear the Coldplay/Snow Patrol vibe they have going.
"Under the Stars"
"I’m gonna set my sightsI’m gonna set your soul alight Under the stars..."
And this one really makes me want to see them live:
"Pieces"
Their album comes out on March 5th, and I look forward to seeing how it does, and to checking out the rest of their music! They definitely have a great rock sound, and I agree with Brian's Coldplay/Snow Patrol take on them.
So, #WhatchaListeningTo?
