Two weeks into August - better start bustin' out those thicker layers. Before you know it, the colder winds will be sweepin' in.
But let's not worry about that right now. It's Friday, it's the end of the week. Almost time to relax. And let's be honest, is there really a better way to go into the weekend than with music? No, I don't think so.
This week I'm going back to a band I featured a few months ago, The Head and the Heart. They only have one album but I really enjoy their sound and I'm curious about what they'll release in the future. It's been a long week and the weather has been a bit of a downer - grey skies, not a whole lot of sun, so the following song fits pretty well. It's one of those songs that I'd want to listen to on a rainy day, bundled up in my house with a cup of tea and maybe a candle or two (yeah - just picture that). But don't get me wrong, it's not a sad song - it just gives off that relaxed, cozy feeling. Personally I love the crisp guitar at the beginning and how the whole piece feels "old timey." It's also a nice touch that as the song builds, more and more instruments join, violins, a piano, etc - culminating in a beautiful harmony. And of course, I can't help but think of Yosemite when the lyrics "down in the valley with whiskey rivers" pass by. Hopefully the following does its job and mellows you out as we coast into the weekend. This is The Head and the Heart's "Down in the Valley."
Good one
