Songs of The Week 4/21 - 4/25

[ad]

While there is no Death Cab for Cutie, Portishead or any of their members in this week’s songs of the week there are a number of really great songs. Here we go!

Sia starts off the list with a bouncing pop diddy in “Buttons” off her latest CD Some People Have Real Problems. This is a real departure from the Sia we know from “Breathe Me” which was the go to song for the final scene of Six Feet Under and the Malaria bit on Idol Gives back.

Kate Walsh with “Your Song” according to Stephen Thompson is likely to get confused with others of Similar name and style like Kate Walsh of Grey’s anatomy, Kate Nash and Kate Maki. Her voice is soft and lovely mixed with a great melody. If I were ever to have a man-crush this would be the song I would play for them.

Van Morrison shows his age through the polished patina of his music. School of Hard Knocks is no Brown Eyed Girl, but you can hear Van’s voice coming through as strong as ever. The rifts are strong, and the message is even stronger. In can’t wait to hear the rest of this album.

“Get Your Head Around It” by the Headlights. Mellow electric guitar builds until we finally hear Tristan Wraight start to sing

“I read a book about a man
who made mistakes all of the time
He didn’t give up,
though, he’d make things right”

This sets the tone for the whole son and when I heard it really got me through a tough day as well.

“Lost Verses” by Mark Kozelek has a definite old school James Taylor feel to the melody. Marks voice is deeper than James so I would love to hear what he could do with a cover, but this is about this “Lost Verses” not being lost in contemplation. However listening to the lyrics lost in contemplation is exactly what happened to me.

These and all songs of the week past, present and future can be heard at NPR’s Song of the Day.
