It has been awhile since I have posted about the top 7 songs I’m listening to.
Here you go:
“Gravity” by John Mayer, on his latest Continuum album. Mellow and laid back. It would be perfect for one of those cool nights on the front porch when the stars are shining bright and the air is filled with nothing but the smoke of a fine Monte Cristo #2.
“Twenty Four” by Switchfoot, on their Beautiful Letdown album. I loved this song when I was in the Cinque Terres in Italy. Memories of drinking a bottle of Chianti Classico while staring at the Liguarian Sea flood my mind. Greatness.
“Chocolate” by Snow Patrol, on their other album Final Straw. My friend Tandoori says this song has one of the best lines in all of songdom: “This could be the very minute. I’m aware I’m alive. All these places feel like home.” Chew on that for a couple days.
“Brown Eyes” by Andy Davis, on his Thinks of Her album. Another friend of my who does NOT have a crush on Andy and who will also remain nameless thinks his music is heartfelt and well written. I’m not afraid so I’ll admit…Andy is hot and his music is rockin, try him out.
“Let Go” by Frou Frou, on their album Details. This is before Imogen went solo…it’s good stuff. Is it bad if I tell you that it reminds me of So You Think You Can Dance? Um, my wife made me watch it???
“Bullet” by Mat Kearny, on the Nothing Left to Lose album. Ok, so I can’t get enough of Kearny (Car-nee), and either can Grey’s Anatomy because the first 2 episodes of the season had his music.
“Constellations” by Jack Johnson, on his quickly forgotten album In Between Dreams. Jack did the Curious George movie and didn’t get much props for this genius of a record. This is the song I want to listen to in my new back yard when the weather is creeping close to 40 degrees and the chimenea is going strong with hickory logs. This song quietly screams relaxation.
Enjoy.
