Top Fav Bands, #5: The Avett Brothers (Post 1)

I decided to do a series of music videos from my top 5 favorite bands. This was pretty challenging as I had to narrow it down to 5, but I felt it was a good exercise for me. So, for the next few weeks, I’ll be posting my favorite songs from my favorite bands. This week it is The Avett Brothers, who made it to 5th place, beating out others such as The Head & The Heart, The Lumineers, Matt Kearney, and Sleeping at Last. Also, I did not take into consideration my favorite instrumental/epic songs, as that’d be just…

Just rediscovered an old favorite band, Sleeping at Last. I had no idea how many songs they have out…I was just familiar with their album from last year. So here’s a new fav song I found : )

New Music!

So my music habits lately have been pretty eclectic. You know how sometimes you hear a band and think, “eh, that’s not too bad” but then later you hear them and think, “wow, this is just beautiful.” That’s how I’m feeling with Sigur Rós, an Icelandic band. I’ve heard them a few times before, in fact they were suggested to me because they’re similar to Future of Forestry, in some ways. I’ve been like, “okay, they’re a pretty decent band,” but then I stumbled upon their music again this week and it resonated very deeply with me. The sound is…

I’m Back!

I had a fantastic weekend and am now getting back into the swing of things.

A Holiday!

As you may have noticed, my posts have been quite sparse recently. This was mostly due to me studying for my chemistry midterm and trying to stay ahead with all my classes. I finished the midterm exam and essay today, so I’m making progress! And now I’m off to St. Louis in the morning to see The Avett Brothers in concert! After the concert I’ll be hanging out with friends in Chicago for the weekend. So…I’ve decided it will be a good long weekend holiday for me. I’ve persuaded myself to not plan on studying or working at all while I’m away….

Hopeless Wanderer

  “Hopeless Wanderer” – Mumford & Sons  You heard my voice I came out of the woods by choice Shelter also gave their shade But in the dark I have no name So leave that click in my head And I will remember the words that you said Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart But I was sure we could see a new start So when your hope’s on fire But you know your desire Don’t hold a glass over the flame Don’t let your heart grow cold I will call you by name I will share your…
