“Doxology/Poor Man’s Son/Down To The River To Pray” - Noah Gundersen & Family

I’m not religious even slightly, so I ignore that element. These folk songs just speak sheer human to me. 

Body For My Bed - William Fitzsimmons

I Don’t Feel It Anymore (Song of The Sparrow) - William Fitzsimmons (& Priscilla Ahn)

“Hold on this will hurt more than anything has before. I was young, I was young, but it’s done. Oh take it all away I don’t feel it anymore”. 

Roscoe - Ellie Goulding (Midlake cover)

Covers are great when they’re so independent of the original that you forget they’re a cover. 

Reunite - Isbells

“but in the end we somehow always end up without marks that don’t allow us to reunite.”

Breathturn - Hammock

Monotony - Willis Earl Beal

I Met Up With The King - First Aid Kit

“… she loved a young man, who loved her body, but never saw her mind. He took everything she had kept, and then took everything else that was left…”

Strong vocals; strong songs. Empowering.

Take Care - Drake ft. Rihanna 

“I know you’ve been hurt by someone else; I can tell by the way you carry yourself.”

For good or bad, I’m currently mesmerised by this. Gil Scott-Heron sample. Jamie XX remix production. Video directed by Yoann Lemoine. 

Let Her Dance - The Bobby Fuller Four

I just love listening to this. Simple. 

Mountain Man are just BRILLIANT. This is watching sound being beautiful. Watching sounds. Raw. Beautiful. Totally in harmony. 

Someone like you - Adele

“This was me on my knees really…”

Overplayed a little to some possibly, but this is none-the-less a classic song, that will be with us for a long time, and I enjoy this rendition. Just remember the first time you ever heard it, when it made you think of that hurt you hold.
