Music is indeed that. And more. (Yes, someone did watch Juno!)
When I'm having a conversation with someone, inevitably I begin to tell so and so, all about the most amazing song I just heard... Thirty minutes later, after a few veers and turns - we are still talking about music. I can say in all sincerity, music has always been like that for me. I'm a fan. A big fan. An appreciator of music and the musicians who create it.
No, I don't really play an instrument. I can read music... sort of. Occasionally, I clumsily play a handful of tunes on the piano or on the recorder. Yes, the recorder. I imagine it's becoming obvious that I belong in Geekdom.
In light of the fact that I can't quite carry a tune and am devoid of the discipline or natural inclination to be a musician, I get to just relish some damn good music and tell people about it. Hence, this blog.
Today I leave you with a superb songwriter that has emerged from Sweden. I admit, I'm a little behind on this one. But, this is just a teaser. I will tell you more about him soon, I know I won't be able to resist.
I'm in love with his voice... If you haven't heard him before, here is The Tallest Man On Earth, singing Thousand Ways on KCRW Radio's "Morning Becomes Eclectic". (05/7/10)
