Brightside and Shadows

T,

This is the week. It's here. It is! It's the week I get to listen to Mr. Brightside live. In honour of this exceptional week, I am sharing one of my favourite lesser known songs. I thought you would appreciate the sax in the middle of the song. I really hope they play this. No doubt, next week will another Killers song. Get excited.

I Can't Stay : The Killers

Ah, the Killers! Any day is a good day to listen to them :)
Sorry for such a laaaate post! Being in Bangalore the past few days gave me lots to do and I forgot about the blog! 
Here's one from my "watch later" playlist on YouTube. Hope you like.

Shadow and Light : Martin Luke Brown

Milestones

These songs are part of a new playlist- MondayMephobics 2

So I know I sent you a song of Matthew Perryman Jones the other day so I thought I would send another one. Oscar season is here and his song is used for the trailer of Manchester by the Sea. And on further listening, I stumbled on this beauty. He sounds a bit like Bono don't you think? Hope you enjoy it!

Looking for You : Matther Perryman Jones

Hey hey,

Great music finds! I'm super excited about the Oscars- especially waiting to watch Manchester by the Sea. 
So- I know we rarely listen to popular music, but you know, it's not all that bad. This band has recently risen to fame in the UK and they're kinda cool! This one is from their older album. What's not to love about the video! This is what good music should do to people; to want to jump and dance around without bothering what you look like! :)

P.S. I can't believe you are going to watch Hamilton. Like, I honestly don't think I have ever been this jealous of someone. It will take some time for me to turn this jealousy into happiness for you. Gah! 

Fallout : Catfish and the Bottleman

Monday in England

So since I am in the UK, I thought I would send you a British Folk song. This is beautiful. The lyrics apart, the voices are gorgeous. And the tune is great. You will love it!

Much love,
Sudhir

Sovay : Cristina Crawlay and Kerstein Blodig
(The song is too awesome to allow embedding into the blog- Please listen on YouTube here)

Hey you,
I found one from England too. Such a typical indie type band video- expressionless, geeky with a slightly strange video. But it's great track. Listen on full volume and sing a long to the chorus. Happy Monday! :)

All This Way - The Magic Gang

Happiness Inc.

Tanisha's Pick

This song is such a happy feel-good track. This band doesn't get nearly enough recognition as it deserves. Caught my attention especially because of the setting in an Architect's office and the fact that you don't have to be a cleaner there for the lyrics to make sense to you. 

This week I'm off on a month long project trip in North India. This happy track is perfect for the week. :)

"Light it up up up oh oh oh"

Sudhir's Pick

So this song might not scream "Sudhir" but I like it a lot. Tracey Chapman has always been a big favourite. And the Bobby Brush remix brings her unique voice back to today's listeners. The deep and meaningful lyrics remain but are enhanced (atleast in my opinion) by the sounds of the trumpet roaring in the background and a more techno beat. Great for Sunday listening.

Summer Is Here

Tanisha's Pick

I discovered Milky Chance only a few months ago. So in love with the beats, the vibe and his hair. I think that Flashed Junk Mind has such a summer groove to it. It makes an excellent soundtrack to the Sunday afternoon I spent slacklining with a bunch of friends. Although I think the music video may have slightly influenced this opinion. :)

Sudhir's Pick

While songs like Yesterday, Help and Hey, Jude! continue to be sung (and resung) and have found a place in our collective memory as 'classic Beatles', today I wanted to highlight a lesser known tune. I discovered this one last week. I hate to disagree with the songwriter, the great John Lennon himself who said he was ashamed by the song's "abominable lyrics". The song's appeal lies in it's rawness. Lennon fully captures a feeling claimed to be felt by most of humanity, but giving it a twist you would not expect. More about this song can be found here.  And of course, below is It's Only Love.
