I recently came upon a new band called Mumford and Sons, a really inspiring group from the United Kingdom. When people associate folk rock to a band, I normally don't go out of my way to listen to them but Mumford and Sons were a definite exception. They're honestly the most genuine band I know of at the moment. So unique and full of melodic ideas all tied into one. It was hard to pick one song, but I think i'm going to go with ' After the Storm ' the only song they didn't make on stage but actually in the studio. It's really powerful and moving & the lyrics are really up lifting. "And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair." When you listen to the song, you can tell that the writer has been through a lot and is trying to say that you need to experience the bad and sorrow in life in order to know what happiness is, which to me means a lot because I know exactly what he means. I really like this band & I'm so glad I came upon them. (:

Music conquers all.
Dear music lovers,
For the next couple weeks I'll be posting songs and I'll explore them thoroughly. Music to certain people mean nothing but a beat. To me music is more. Music is my lifeline.
Today, my song choice is Emancipate by Ashes of Soma a song I recently found a very deep liking for. Ashes of Soma is an alternative canadian band originally from Windsor, Ontario. My hometown. The reason why I'm so addicted to this well thought out piece of art is because I truly enjoy the placement of instruments in the song, the lyrics are well thought out and have a lot of emotion built in it. The meaning of the song depends on the listener of the song. To me it seems like whoever wrote it was starting to feel fed up with everything & couldn't handle anymore. Hence the lyrics " Remember the time that I waste it's all the same just hate the way it seems Carry all this weight on my shoulder I'll tear this all apart " It seems like he's giving up.
