Jason Molina: A Sad Hard Change

Autumn Bird Songs was a vinyl I sought and COULD NOT FIND, when it was released. I should have pre-ordered it, but I lacked the information. Frantically, I searched for a brief time after its release to acquire my own copy (it'd not yet been released via CD). Then, one sad March day, I received news that Jason had died. Instantly, I was able to digitally acquire a copy, download it and fall into the rich tenor of his voice and his strings. I was not the same for about a month; I'm fairly sure this whole album was on repeat most of that time.


"I am not the same but you can't follow
I am not the same but you can't follow
I see the sun no more
and I see the sun no more.
'Been a sad hard change
It's been a sad hard change.
Had I known
Had I known."

Lisa Hannigan: Silent Night

 

In the spirit of Christmas (I hate holidays, especially Christmas), Lisa Hannigan captures most of my feelings for the specific holiday. 

The Shape of the Earth: Epilogue

Another band I'm guilty of not hearing another song from, Shape of the Earth, at least in this song is full of passion. I'm glad someone finally posted another video, the one I originally saw was terrifying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv6kDkIjAto for you brave souls.)
