Out of Excuses

Tanisha's Pick:

I've run out of excuses not to post on the blog. I am not traveling, I got a new laptop, I have Amazon Prime music and I even made time this week to listen to lots of music. I love the rawness of acoustic music, and this one is done so well. The piano drives the melody and the guy singing has a great range. Enjoy.

For Myself : Etham

Sudhir's Pick:

So you know how much I love The Killers. I thought I had my favourites set until I remembered this classic, which I think might be their most underrated song. It's been on repeat for most of the day.

The Way It Was : The Killers

Unaware

Sudhir's Pick:

You might have heard this one before. It seems very much like something you will like. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Glad that we are on the same time zone again for a bit.

Unaware : Allen Stone

Hello hello! It's been a crazy busy last couple of weeks, but all full of good things. Back in Delhi and back to good internet and good music streaming. While I was in England, I also downloaded Spotify. Here's something I listened to today. Have a good week! 

Blank Space / Stand by Me : Imagine Dragons

What I've Been Looking For

Sudhir's Pick:

Not sure if this is your type of song but I think you will like it. Take a listen. Adele has also done a cover of it which might be interesting.

If it Hadn't Been for Love : The Steeldrivers

Tanisha's Pick:
As you know, the last couple weeks have been a bit crazy; finishing off work on two projects, closing up my time in Senegal, saying good-byes and packing up. This past week is a different kind of busy - a full time table of family time in England enjoying summertime here (minus the hay fever!)
So I haven't been able to listen to music to find something to share. I was able to finally download Spotify, though it probably won't work once I leave the country. 
But today, I finally found what I've been looking for on the radio here - someone new and good. Hope you like :)

Found What I've Been Looking For : Tom Grennan

Down in Africa

Sudhir's Pick:
Wow! This was a fun song to listen to. Africa is probably one of my favourite songs of all time and every cover brings something new. This guy is great and you should check out some of his other stuff if you haven't already.

Africa (Toto Cover) : Peter Bence

Tanisha's Pick:
That Peter Bence is awesome. Love the energy! He's almost flying off the stool. Much talent!

I'm sharing one that seems to be popular, but I only heard it for the first time today. Powerful lyrics and an equally powerful accompaniment. Have a good week. :) 

Leave a Light On : Tom Walker

One More For Good Measure

Sudhir's choices:
I heard this song twice in the past two days in two movies. I figured it must have been a way for the universe to get it onto our blog. I really liked this slowed down version. I think you will too. Also, the movie is pretty good too. I would recommend it.

Take On Me (Unplugged) : Aha



One of my favourite Indian singer/ songwriters. I think you will like it. Hope you enjoy it!

Betther Than It All : Raghav Meattle

Tanisha's choice:
I watched the movie "Stranger than Fiction" the other day and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would when I started it. Feel good, thought provoking in its simplicity, and such a good cast! 
Anyway, in the movie this song by Wreckless Eric is performed. Yesterday I listened to Cage the Elephant's newest live album and they do a very good cover of the song. 

Whole Wide World (cover) : Cage the Elephant

Slow Hands, No Cry

Tanisha's Pick: This guy performed at the Royal wedding this past week and I was wondering where I had heard the name before and finally remembered he and his equally talented siblings were on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago. Loved this cover - a flawless execution.

No Woman, No Cry : Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Sudhir's Pick: Since we are going with British music for this week, I am sharing this song I heard a few days ago by a former One Directioner. I like the jazzy feel and if you listen to it you can tell exactly why I would be drawn to it. I love how different our music tastes are. The cello piece was exceptional. Enjoy!

Slow Hands : Niall Horan

Lights and Houses

Sudhir's Pick: 

Slowing it down a bit this week. Has a little jazzy feel. Seems perfect for a Boston Legal moment. Hope you like.

Come on Up to the House : Tom Waits

Tanisha's Pick:
Heard this one a while ago. It was a busy week last week and it will be a busier week ahead as the office is finishing off a big project. Thankfully there are weekends for fun things and new places. My brain is a bit fried at the end of the day, this song is a good soother! 

First Light : Dustin Tebbut
