Some Kind Of Trouble by James Blunt

After the success of You’re Beautiful in Back to Bedlam, Blunt has become a household name and a singer that almost hunger for your tears as most of this songs were quite depressives and emotional. So, he came back for more in 2007, with All the lost soul, an album that was quite a disappointment because it was nothing near his debut album. It seems more likely that  he lost his voice than his soul. Now, he is back again hoping to give us the confident in his music by giving us Some Kind Of Trouble.

Launched in 8th of November, Some Kind Of Trouble is without doubt way better than his sophomore album. It seems like he finally found his lost soul at last. This time the music is more focus and in a single direction. The album is peppier and this clearly can be heard in the album lead single, “Stay the Night” quite a catchy pop song that definitely suits the taste of the mainstream. A numbers tracks in the album like Dangerous, Best Laid Plan, So Far Gone, Superstar and Calling Out Your Name are quite catchy and for sure would proved to be a great listening experience. For those who prefer to have the old James Blunt that sang those songs in Back to Bedlam, don’t worries, “If Time Is All I Have” should just do the trick. It is everything you need in order to cry your lung out.

Singing Ax by J. Tillman

Launched just two days ago, J. Tillman seventh album Singing Ax which was recorded in 3 days only is phenomenal. However, not everyone can accept the style of J. Tillman which is minimalist and dead space in between song. There are not many things going on. There are no fireworks in his album which explode with a bang and lit the night sky with its bright colour, nothing so climatic. However, this does not mean that there are no sparks in this album. Tillman preferences of minimalist are just where the beauty lies. The brief pauses and the short breaths moment before venturing into the next quaint verse of the lyric is what made this album breathtaking.

This is a very beautiful quaint album. It is not the typical album where you can stop the album at any time you want and move on to do others things. If you can accept Tillman style or folk genres, you hardly can find fault in this album. It is beautiful. It is haunting. It is ghostly. It is somber. It is intimate. It is ambient. It is relaxing. It linger even after you finished listening and you will find yourself drifting into your own thought.

I cannot pin-point which song is the standout track because all tracks are equally marvelous. The opening track, Three Sister would surely give a general idea on how the album would turn out. A seat at the Table wrapped the album up in a good way. His mellow voice accompany with the acoustic guitar/banjo; the climatic drumming at the end of the song with his humming and the sudden stop. As like he is slowly moving out from the scene and consume by the darkness with a brief pause right before he is gone.

Tracklist:

1. Three Sisters
2. Diamondback
3. Love No Less Worthy
4. One Task
5. Our Beloved Tyrant
6. Tillman’s Rag
7. Mere Ornaments
8. Singing Ax
9. Madness on the Mountain
10. Maria
11. A Seat at the Table

True Love Stories by Alan Pownall

Alan Pownall a singer song writer from London. True Love Stories is his debut album that released in 25th June. A perfect album for the summer as this album has this intense summer vibe, very resembling to the one In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson. His album can’t really be included in the folk genres. Is somewhere in between folk and pop. Folk-pop perhaps? Oh yeah, this album is very English.

Frankly speaking this album ain’t ground breaking. It won’t made you have the ‘ooooahhhhh’ moment. The album is not bad nor good. This album is nice. From the first track to the last track, it is almost like you are in a train or a car that run smoothly without any bumpy part. No up and down. All the tracks sound alike with one another. Still the album is nice to listen. His voice is pleasant enough, light for the ears. Perhaps, Pownall have the word ‘relax’ in mind when he was producing this album. My friend commented that it has this 80/90s vibe, a new kind of retro. Maybe this is what vintage sounds like. The good ol' days when vinyl still widely available, at least that is how i pictured it.

No doubt this album definitely would make it as it is radio friendly. Easy to accept by the mainstream audience. The breezy and summer vibe tune. And few tracks that can easily let people sway along with the music notes. The melodious music tune is just too good to resist to not sway along. It is almost like the ‘black tadpoles’ is massaging your sore muscles, timidly.  It is after all, a easy listening affair offered by this album.

The standout track I think is the Colourful Day. A very melodious, bittersweet and memorable song. And I can’t help to relate him to the troubadour in Gilmore Girls. In fact, Pownall music is kind of troubadour-ish. Not to mention, the album kind of took a turn after this song. The rest of the songs after Colourful Day, is very vintage styled. It is more obvious in Take Me, The Others, Turn Me Down and You Know.

Overall, the album only pick up at the 2nd half of the album. It can be said that Colourful Day is the heart of the album, the center. (well, the song placement is in fact in the middle) The last 5 songs may perhaps is where the soul of this album lies. A little too late, because before you know it the cd had stopped spinning. It Is like a climax in suspense. However, one cannot denied that Pownall is in fact an old soul despite his young age. This album brings peace, warm and delicate to one soul.

Ghost by Matt Stevens

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! especially for those who like instrumental music, acoustic guitar to be exact. This is an album you need and must to own. Ghost by Matt Stevens is something extraordinary. It made you dance on your toes, springing to life in this summer seasons or just starring into the big blue sky while listening to ‘eleven’.

 

Ghost is the 2nd album by Matt Stevens. I only found out about him when one fine day, I discovered an email in my mail box. Is a music submission! Great! It excited me. Downloaded it. Listened to it! NEED to blog about it! But, was caught up with my studies. After a month, here it is. At times, Ghost have a hint of jazziness and classical music notes. Yet, it did not sounds boring at all. (not saying jazz and classical is boring but you know…or maybe not. haha) In fact, the first two tracks is a very lively, vibrant, dancing on your toes tracks while snapping your fingers. Is everything that I need after rushing so many assignments in a month time. Ghost is a 10-tracks album. A few tracks that I dig most is “Into the Sea”, "Big Sky”, “Eleven”, “8.19”, and “Ghost”.

 

You can free download the album at his website: http://mattstevens.bandcamp.com/album/ghost or at here http://www.4shared.com/get/9E0FI4we/Ghost.html. Enjoy folks!

Constellations by Balmorhea

Perhaps, it is more suitable to said that Balmorhea had back to basic with their fourth album Constellations where it strips the electric instrumentation and just purely focused on acoustic instrumentation with piano and guitar. Live up to the album name Constellations, this is an album for a silent and starry night, light breeze caressing ones face gently, and as time goes by with the notable music notes ones slowed the breathing and stared into the deep nothingness with your mind start wonder away. Harmonious, beauteous, pleasant and engaging should be the best words to describe this low decibel ranges work. 

The album start off with To The Order of The Night a very meticulous work of music, which I found it magnificently breathtaking beautiful that my hair stands at the back of my neck. Silently beautiful. The second track, Bowsprit perhaps is the less minimalist piece in this nine track album. Unlike other tracks that had been kept to a minimal and low decibel range of works. Bowsprit is the most happening track in the whole ablum with banjo, guitar, violin, cello, stomps and perhaps hand-claps. This is the moment where fireworks lit up the dark night. 

Winter Circle, Constellations and Steerage and The Lamp shouldn't have a problem to take hold of the heart of piano lovers. This trio are piano based tracks. Winter Circle is more melancholy with the echo of the vocals. I can’t help but to relate it to despair, lost and death.  Constellations is intriguing, in the first 1.20mins it just revolve around a one or two music notes that keep repeating. The track starts to take off after that and melodic it may became but it was like a soft whisper, tip-toeing. Steerage and The Lamp is a long 7mins length track that for the first 5mins the only things that matter is the piano played by Rob Lowe and at the exact 5.03mins mark the cello kicks in and boy it was it beautiful. The marriage of the piano and cello resulting a somber listening experience yet one will not feel the gloomy mood. 

On Herons two acoustic guitars explore a chord progression but at some point I can’t help to notice the similarities between this song and Night Squall which is another track from this album. A very symphonious and euphonious track that performed using bass guitar and cello with occasionally drumming. On the Weight of Night lean heavily upon lightly-plucked acoustic guitars, gently-brushed drums to create a smoky and melancholic moods. Palestrina the last track and the most stand out track from this album. The songs fuses the ghostly choir which reminds me of the choir from those old cathedral with stained glass and most probably the sound of a light saber perhaps? The only thing that I can only related to with the laser-sound-alike noise. Towards almost the end of the track, ambient mist of humming strings fuse in making this one of the most memorable track and ended this album perfectly. 

Constellations by Balmorhea is a light and easy to listen album. At first listening it may not have a ‘woah’ effect that take you off guard. But as time goes by, if given the chance to listen for a few more times you would found as like the music has mature and become more flavourful. It starts to grow on you. Given the right time and chances Constellations would probably be one of the best instrumental album of this year.  

Buy Constellations by Balmorhea.

Seadrift Soundmachine by Blaudzun

Seadrift Soundmachine is the sophomore album from Blaudzun a singer-songwriter from Netherlands, which was named after an unknown Danish cyclist, Michael Blaudzun. His real name however is Johannes Sigmond. Anyhow back to this album, all I can said is this album is wonderful. Mellow, melancholic but not to the extend that it actually drowned you and also very folksier. This is the album to get if you just want to have some light music to chill.

Track listing:
01. Sea wolves 0:56
02. Sunshine parade 3:08
03. The choking game 4:03
04. Light of love 3:50
05. Midnight room 3:25
06. Quiet German girls 2:54
07. Wolf’s behind the glass 2:36
08. Jezebelle 4:22
09. Manhatten grey / Post no bill 2:05
10. February flare 3:32
11. Streetcorner shouter 2:34
12. Midnight room (Prague version) 3:20

Like how the description in Last.fm Blaudzun writes dreamy songs, wrapped in sober arrangements that through his remarkable voice and the haunting melodies get an almost ecstatic atmosphere. Have to steal from there course I have no idea how to pen down my thought for this album. And Walah! Someone wrote exactly (well almost) how I feel for this disc. This is the album that could never go wrong. If you are a music fans of any kind of genres you should get this one.

The music like I said is very folksy so expect a lot of guitar and of course his distinctive voice. And of course this album sings about love but yet again which album isn’t? I am just way too lazy to interpret the lyrics one by one. So go ahead and get this album and listen it yourself. Seadrift Soundmachine by Blaudzun worth every penny of it.

For a limited time only. (dl link removed)
Buy Seadrift Soundmachine.

I am Nothing but Emotion by Maximilian Hecker

note: this is going to be a very very long entry because the whole album just pulled a heartstring of mine and is really good. I tried to make it short and simple but still words just spilled out uncontrollably. this is THE short version. the draft is much longer.  

Actually, the full name for this album is I Am Nothing But Emotion, No Human Being, No Son, Never Again Son by Maximilian Hecker. A German singer-songwriter. This is his 7th album so far, released last month in German first then follow up by international released.

If you did listened to his previous works and you think that this album is going to be the same then you have to scrap that. I guess what happens was that his music matured over the years. His music used to be ‘popky’. But this album is raw, depth and real. Perhaps, this is the most ‘honest’ album he ever made. Close to his heart. Plus, I think he try to minimize the need to ‘smoothen’ the songs using the computer. Like how all the usual songs that being ‘processed’ to make the songs sound much better but it compromised the emotion of the songs. So I quote the starting track of this album, this album basically ‘pukes emotion’.

Piano played an important role in this album and when Maximilian Hecker sings boy that was good. Deliciously good. Peacefully melodious and melancholy. A beautiful kind of sorrow.

The beginning of the album starts off with Blue Soldier Night. It was not a song actually; it was a recording of a woman in a static voice. No emotion at all, speaking in a flat monotone. I can’t help but to think these 2.01mins of recording is actually a summarising of the album. The story that she told, you actually can find the resemblance in the lyrics of all the song in this album and also the way the tracks being numbered.

Holy Dungeon is the second track and it sounded so good that it almost sound like poetry to me. The lyric and the music are like ripples of emotion.

Your blackened lung, your weakened tongue, your weary eyes, your secret lies
Your one-way street, your whitened sheet, your gloomy thoughts, your cranky gods
Your angel sighs, your painful highs, your tortured heart, your backward art
Your twisted ways, your ancient face, your perfumed words, your crying birds

My favourite part ought to be from seventh track to track ten.  Start from Glaslight and end with Your Kingdom the tenth track. Actually both tracks are the same but in Your Kingdom he did changed the lyric and the beginning of the music into music-box like. You know those kind of ‘ding-ding-ding’ sounds. Like how those movies shows when one open the music box and the memories start to fall into place again.

Ok, basically the whole tracks in the album are some sort of inter-related. Is like a story, that’s why I said Blue Soldier Night is like a summary. So, to cut the story short in Glaslights the story actually continues from the previous few tracks telling us that he wants to be with her. He loves her. He asks her don’t deceive him in the previous track, Court My Eyes Alone…

But don’t you leave me
And don’t deceive me
I’m coming out to call and doubt my way
Don’t you leave me
Don’t deceive me
I’m coming out my way

In Glaslights he told her he will always be there for her…

I belong there in your Glaslights
I’ll be strong there in you

However, in the eighth track Messed-up Girl she cheated on him. He asked her what the other guy has that he doesn't. Why she will keep fall for others but not him? He still loves her but his love for her is fading…

Well, I can’t be your sun
But I’ll be your moon
Brightening your night but fading too soon
Brightening your path with my borrowed light, oh my love

And eventually in the ninth track No One’s Child they part away.  He wants to be free. To find his happiness, to find his sunshine so he told her is alright…

I believe to be free
I will go my way
Sunshine flows
And winter grows

 
But in Your Kingdom, like I said before perhaps he misses her and he ‘open up’ his memories, thus the ‘music-box’ likes sound. All his got was just memories…forever locked, frozen.

I belong there in your kingdom
Fallen long time ago
I’ll be strong there in your kingdom
Frozen under deep snow

As the story goes by track by track, he misses her still and believe that eventually she will come back to him. In the last track, Lonely in Gold the persona finally gets what he wishes for…

Lonely in gold
Cause I saw your soul

And I don’t need the way you touched my heart
And you’ll come home again
You’ll come home again
You’ll come home again underneath the stars

And now you’re here with me, eventually
And now the time has come

Overall there are 14-tracks in this album. The story ends on track 13th, the 14th track is a bonus track which is a piano version of Nana.

The verdict this album offered a helluva experience of listening to music. Try to find all the lyrics and paste it in the MS.Word one after another or if you got itunes just listen to the songs track by track while reading the lyrics. Don’t shuffle it. Then only you will realize the tracks were all connected. I’m giving it 5 out of 5.

You can stream the album at his myspace.

Nana by Maximilian Hecker

p/s: I think this is most probably the last post that I will upload the album for download. Since, you guys actually can easily google it. Or in future I probably will only upload those albums that I deem are really good or hard to find.

The Creatures In the Garden of Lady Walton by Clogs

To be honest I really have no idea, what should I write for this album by Clogs. This is their fifth album and the first non-instrumental from them.Yet,some of the tracks is instrumental. They have features guest vocalists Sufjan Stevens, Matt Berninger, and Shara Worden to sing a few tracks in this album. This is a really great album. Really good. I have no idea how should I classify this album though. Should I put it under 'classical'? But it does not seem classical to me at all. Instrumental?



The whole album is 'fresh'. Is really hard to find this kind of music and not to mention the fantastic music being played by this band. The music is intriguing and captivating. Not to mention, the voice of the guest vocalist which is absolutely fascinating. If you like Balmorhea or Rachel's or Yasushi Yoshida I think you would most probably like this band too.

The music is beautifully played by the band and when it matches with the vocal of the vocalist. Geez, it was mind blowing good. I like all the songs in this album. I will give it 5 out of 5. The track On the Edge is a piece of it own. The voice of Shara Worden is just fantastic. Her voice range is so diversify. She also sings in the track The Owl of Love. Magnificent! Same goes to I Used to Do which I really like the music that begins at 1.20mins. However, the track that pulled a string in my heart gotta be Last Song. I don’t know why but it just gave me this sense of peacefulness calm, serene. As like I was just standing beside the seaside looking at the horizon.

Buy the original to show your supports, you can buy from here.

ABCDEFG by Chumbawamba

Ok, honestly I only found out this band recently. Accidentally stumble upon this album and after wiki it, it was said that this band only released three albums in the span of over 27 freaking years! Unbelievable, that’s the reason why I downloaded this album to listen.

Yeah, I know ABCDEFG what kind of album name is this. Perhaps, the next one is HIJK…till…Z? But, boy my skeptical put me to a shame for judging it by its’ cover. Because, this is a brilliant album. Lesson learnt, never judge a book album by it cover.


For a 17tracks-length album, this is one of the album that you will listen from the first song to the last song. It was such a joy to listen to. Most of the tracks were folks ballad and acoustic but it was bubbly and catchy. Some of the track like Dance, Idiot, Dance was hilarious. Ratatatay was a simple song and extremely catchy. I was suppose to be studying but somehow I just start to sing along with the song. What a song it is. And I was smiling while singing it.

It was said that Chumbawamba had been always using their music to send a certain political message. And yeap, the song Torturing James Hetfield prove it. The lyric was hilarious and sarcastic enough. Apparently, James Hetfield the lead singer of Metallica had approve that their song can be use to torture the prisoner in Guantanamo Bay. :S I guess it must be a torment to listen to Metallica then. Haha…

well we got james hetfield
and we tied him up tight
naked and cold
we kept the strip lights bright

now look what we've brought for you james
your favorite disc
it's Chumbawamba-
they're greatest hits (there's only one)

Such sarcasm is priceless. Metal and folks ain’t a match in heaven. LOL!

Pickle is a melodious track which I absolutely adore. Missed like the review (fantastic review) here it symbolize the modern music culture. It start off with a mellow acoustic tune then in the back of the song you can hear techno music. New York Song describe what a person face when being new in this big apple city. Puccini Said was mixed with opera. Superb.

This is an album that those who likes music should get. It covered folks, acoustic and a hint of acapella. You probably won’t disappointed by it.

Broadcast 2000 by Broadcast 2000

Obviously this is an self-titled album Broadcast 2000 by Broadcast 2000. Which was the band first debut album and just released a week ago. So, yeah is a very new album. Broadcast 200 is a British acoustic indie-folk band which was the brainchild of multitalented singer-songwriter Joe Steer. And this album does live up to his name, multitalented. 

There were so many instruments that being played out in the entire album and yet they were harmonious enough to create such soothing symphonies. Broadcast 2000 offer a similar warm, low-key takes on indie folk with interesting mixes of different instruments. It was light and a bit upbeat if you compare it to the other indie/folk singer, like Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne. It is somewhere in between Friska Viljor and Noah and the Whale. And definitely is a joy for those who like The Sleeper by The Leisure Society because I did. Hehe…

There were so many outstanding songs in this album. The album kick off with Rouse Your Bones which started with glockenspiel which plays a major role in this album. Another track was That Sinking Feeling, gosh this song is like a instruments convention meeting. There were so many musical instruments played through out the entire song, double bass, violin, glockenspiel, percussion, ukulele and cello. It’s mind blowing good. Get Up and Go is another masterpiece, the glockenspiel carries the song perfectly. I never thought glockenspiel can be play like this. I used to hate glockenspiel sound as it was very annoying now after listening to this album it totally change my perception on that instrument.

I Hold My Breath is another highlight which started off with glockenspiel then the cellos come in and change the ‘flavour’ of the song. Gonna Build A Mountain was mostly base on ukulele.

No doubt this is an amazing album. And Broadcast 2000 is going to be a successful band if Steer continue to lead the band.

This is the official music video of Get Up and Go by Broadcast 2000. Which I think is using the stop motion concept to film the video. The actors actually ‘freezes’ while the video is still rolling. Mind you it is not a combination of pictures,

Off I Go by Greg Laswell

Anyone who read my blog should by now know that I’m a huge fan of Grey’s Anatomy. I have re-watch the shows over and over again for so many times that I lost track already. For me this is one of the most amazing American shows that I watch. I just can’t describe how much I love this show with word. All I can says is I really really love this show a lot.  

 

 

Besides, I get to know a lot of artistes, songs from this shows. Most of the songs in this shows were incredible. The production team really make one helluva job with the music. Every time, it just seems like all the songs in the show was custom made to fit that particular scenes. Often time, it touches me. I have cried so many time through  out the entire 5 seasons because it was so sad and so real. And some of the episodes in the show I just felt like I really can connect to it.

 

 

And over this 5 seasons, I guess most of the GA fans will agree with me that season 5 finale was the saddest finale. It left me speechless, stunned. The first time I saw it, I just sat there starring at my screen for around 5 seconds after it ends. It totally blew my mind. Especially, the part where the elevator door open and George was standing right there. The music at the back fit that scene 101%! Period.

 

 

That particular song was Off I Go by Greg Laswell. As I was saying earlier that I just felt like all the songs was custom made to fit this show. Well, apparently the producer of GA really did requested Laswell to write a song especially for this finale scene. Thus, the birth of this song.

 

I think I shall post the finale scene below and let you guys watch it. The song only start at 2.34min.

 

 

Loose ends, they tangle down
And then take flight
But never tie me down
Never tie me down.

 

Loose ends, they tangle down
And then take flight
But never tie me down
Never tie me down.

 

Off I go.
Where I fall
Is where I land.

 

Off I go.
Where I fall.
Is where I land.

 

Loose ends tangle down
And then take flight
But never tie us down
And never tie us down.

 

Loose ends tangle down
And then take flight
But never tie us down
And never tie us down.

 

Off I go.
Where I fall
Is where I land.

 

Off I go.
Where I fall
Is where I land.

 

Ahhhhhhh....

Off I go.
Where I fall
Is where I land.

 

Off I go.
Where I fall
Is where I land.

Broken Strings (Acoustic Version)

Acoustic is one of my favourite genre by far. It was like a fresh breath after listening to so many pop songs. Not saying that the original version is  bad. Just that sometimes, after listening to the original version so many times and when an acoustic version comes around you suddenly realize that ‘hey, acoustic ain’t that bad. Is quite good’.

 

 

This is what happens when I listen to acoustic version of Broken Strings. To be honest this is my least favourite songs in James Morrison latest album, Songs for you, Truth for me. Even though, it is the second single for this album but somehow this track do not caught my attention. Or maybe I just don’t think that the voice of Nelly Furtado do not match James Morrison hoarse voice. Personally, I think it is more like a marketing gimmick considering that Nelly Furtado was a huge success in 2006 after her “Loose” album. Ever since then a lot of artist have featured her in their songs. Well, I guess they should find other female artist to collaborate with him.

 

Of course, I’m not saying that James Morrison is a lousy singer. Is quite the opposite actually. James Morrison is a fantastic musician. The whole album was fabulous. There isn’t a bad track on this album at all. ( I just don’t like broken strings, not saying it is a bad track). Songs for you, Truth for me is one of my top 10 album that I listened to in my itunes. 10 out of the 12 tracks in this album is in my top 100 tracks out of my total 2354 songs and counting…

 

Anyway, the lyric is so intense for this songs. It was so true, so raw, so real. And straight forward. Is totally about a dying love but somehow both parties still wishes that there is something left to salvage. Though, the girl betrayed the guy.

 

 

Well, obviously I prefer the acoustic version since I don’t like Nelly voice in this song. But, this is a song that required 2 singers to sing so of course the intensity in the acoustic version is lacking is compare to the original version.

 

 

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you,
It's so untrue

I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking,
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell something that ain't real

Well the truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I cant tell you something that ain't real

Well truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Alexi Murdoch: Time Without Consequence

Alexi Murdoch is a London born singer-songwriter. Time Without Consequence is the first album released by Alexi Murdoch in June 6,2006.

By far, this is one of my favourite album. This is an indie-folk, alternative and acoustic genres album.

This is the kind of album that you play in a raining Sunday afternoon while you slouching yourself on the cozy couch with a comforter. Layback and listen to his distinctive soothing voice.

Personally, I really wish i could pick a personal favourite from this album. But I can’t because all the songs are equally amazing. This is not like those typical albums where only one or two songs are worth listening to. The whole album is worth listening to.

His songs had been featured in many Americans Series like The O.C, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Prison Break, Ugly Betty, Stargate Universe and many more. As a matter of fact, this is how I get to know about this artist. I was watching one of the tv shows above and when I heard his music. I instantly fall for his voice. Simply amazing.

All My days by Alexi Murdoch

Part of the lyric goes like this:

Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And its just too bright
As the days keep turning into night

Something Beautiful is an unreleased song which I think might feature in his upcoming album, Towards the Sun.

Well, hope you folks will like his music like I did. :)
