I'm sorry it's been so long. Busy days and nights.
I haven't been keeping up on the new scene, just relishing in the songs that I have always loved along with the new Mumford and Sons album. Here's a sampling of the new album and part of the playlist me and my roommate made. Hope you like it! =]
Well I feel like maybe I'm out of the loop because I just heard this song. I really like it though. I would definitely say they have an Animal Collective vibe, but let's see what Wikipedia has to say...
Nurses is a Portland-based indie rock trio composed of Aaron Chapman (vocals, guitar, keyboard), John Bowers (backing vocals, keyboard), and James Mitchell (percussionist & visual artist). Their sound is often categorized as psychedelic pop, folk rock, and experimental. Nurses started as a quartet from Idaho which moved to Portland, Oregon where they met James Mitchell.[1] The trio joined Dead Oceans Records on May 21, 2009 and released their album via Dead Oceans on August 4, 2009 (August 24 in the UK).[2] Nurses album, Apple's Acre, has been described as a shaggy younger sibling of Animal Collective or Grizzly Bear with the sound of dreamy harmonies, carnival organs, slightly out-of-tune pianos and basic percussion from a lone snare or tambourine and received a 7.2 rating from Pitchfork.
Fever Dreams by Nurses
You Lookin' Twice
I know I've already posted War on Drugs... but I can't remember which song so hopefully it wasn't this one. Summer song status definitely
This is probably my favorite song by Sea Wolf. I think it's perfect. "I'd love you anywhere, but black leaf falls." Interpret it any way you want. My thoughts... circumstance get in the way of even the best intentions.
I feel like when you're young, things change so rapidly from year to year, that it's hard to keep up. You grasp at old leaves that are saved because of all the happy times you had over the years jumping in the leaves and throwing the leaves. But the colors fade and the leaves dry. But that doesn't mean the leaves aren't lovely and just as good as before. They are just different and you have to change with those leaves, which is hard. And what if you've changed so far beyond those leaves, that they end up just crumpling and disappearing into the dying grass? It's hard to say what the changing seasons hold...
I feel like also, it's so easy to place blame when your feelings are hurt. But I feel like I've started to see my own faults in the matter. Relationships with people are so hard. You have to calculate how you're feeling vs. how they are feeling vs. how you say what you need to say without hurting someone vs. you part in the problem. It's a hard game to play.
Another thing, I get insecure about being replaced. I don't know why but I feel like I've always been that way since I was young. It probably comes from insecurities with myself and with problems that are occurring simultaneously... aka I get scared of new, fun/beer-loving friends that could offer the same company that I could. My own insecurities could ultimately lead to me pushing away those closest to me.
I guess it's time to focus on myself and get back to those trails. Now if only I could find some near Aurora to accompany the home-made Indian food diet.
Sorry guys it's finals and even though I want to find some more music for this blog, I'm just going to post this one song that I've been grooving to all day
