Aimee Mann - "Goose Snow Cone"

3/18/2018

​As I sift through the many, many nominees from this year's list, the Grammys once again bring on some different sounds. Aimee Mann has a long-standing reputation, and this album's mood for its nomination (and win!) for Best Folk Album is set right from the start with this opening track. 

It's a light track to ease you in, with lyrical content to confuse you just enough to draw self-conclusions. Personally, I think this is the epitome of what folk is, but I have my own biased opinions on these things. Welcome to my personal blog. :)


​Gotta keep it together when your friends come by

Always checking the weather but they wanna know why
Even birds of a feather find it hard to fly

Thought I saw at my feet an origami crow
It was only the street hidden under the snow
Always snatching defeat, it's the devil I know

Maroon 5 - "Leaving California"

3/13/2018

I miss Songs About Jane so badly. Maroon 5 came at us with this incredibly unique jazz technique to their pop music, and we all fell for Adam Levine and his falsetto for life.

In rising success, the band seemed to go this odd pop route where the falsetto became less attractive and the sound less unique. I couldn't tell you is this was because the band chose the direction, or everyone else came in to mimic it. 

V brought along a few good tracks again. While not quite what it had been, the band's experimentaiton seemed to pay off a little more. This song has this great steady marching beat in the background and Adam's voice is enjoyable. I love when there are silver linings that remind you how good music can be.


​
​Pack your things and go, oh
But if you run away
I won't be alright

Even if the sun crashes into us
I won't let go, I won't let go
And I can be your light
Stay with me tonight
