Joshua Radin: Good Name, Good Music
I'm enjoying basics lately. A trend I plan to follow for awhile. Reducing rather than adding is a mantra I find intriguing enough to at least theory-up to it.
At times the extras become superfluous and the basic can be refreshing. I saw this guy play on Carson's show the other night and was provoked at the site of a guitar, a stand up bass and his vocal. A disconnect that shouldn't be in pop music. The fabulous Ingrid Michaelson was also there doing accompanying vocals on Sky, a favorite that does me.
From Closer:
Hush my baby now
Your talking is just noise and won't lay me down amongst our toys in a room where I can take no more
The clouds in your eyes
Down your face they pour
Won't you be the new one burn to shine
I take the blue ones every time
Walk me down your broken line
All you have to do is cry
Intoxicating. I want more.
