One whole year.
Can you believe it? I know I've talked about this on so many Fridays before, but where has it all gone? To be honest, it still feels like that trip happened a few weeks ago. But anyway - we're getting further and further into summer now. The temps are starting to really rise. We've hit triple digits a couples times and I've gotten my first bad sunburn of the summer - but it's alright, it'll be the perfect base tan.
Let's not waste anymore time though. We all know why we've gathered here on this fine Friday. Time for some music. Amongst my friends I was probably one of the last to hop on the Spotify train. I had always been content with my own music or the occasional dabble into Pandora. So when I was shown this new program that allows you to basically listen to anything you want, whenever you want, for free, I was hooked. Not long after using it, I started getting all the notifications and adds suggesting what music I should try and to be honest, it annoyed me. I didn't like it flooding my home screen or constantly telling me to branch out. But finally, early this week, I humored the program and clicked on an album they suggested based off my love for the Avett Brothers.
I'll be the first to admit. They got me. Technology had beaten me yet again. From the very first song of this new artist I was hooked. The more and more I listened, the more and more he grew on me, until it finally clicked that this had to be the song of the week. Correction - song(s) of the week. The artist, Noah Gundersen is primarily a solo artist at this point who is a strange mix of indie and folk music. He plays a crisp guitar and has one of those great, raspy, rich voices. Lyrically, he's much more of a poet. You can tell he's all about telling a story - not at all interested in anything too 'poppy.' He doesn't seem to have the largest fan base and I can't seem to understand why - he's clearly very talented. I'd certainly say he's worth a listen and a lot of his music just feels like it deserves to be played in the summer. Specifically on a hot day, with the front door open so the music can waft out down the street. The first song I'd like to present is Noah Gundersen's, "Caroline."
Song number two, also by Noah, is just as wonderful. This is "Moss On A Rolling Stone."
Happy listening!
