Song Of The Day: Down In The Valley- Head and The Hearts



"Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
We do it over, and over, and over again." 


The Head and The Hearts are one of my new all time favorite bands. Just makin some real jams that almost anyone can relate to, only the best kind of music.  This song "Down In The Valley" is especially something we can all relate to. We all have those vices in our lives, whether it be something or someone. We know it's not good for us, but for some reason we can't stop. Listen carefully to the lyrics, they're very powerful. My favorite lyrics are "It don't make no difference if you sit or you stand. Because they both end in trouble and start with a grin." That is the thing about our vices in our lives, they might start with a grin but hell do they always end in trouble.

Song Of The Day: Leaving On The 5th- Voxhaul Broadcast

This is one of those songs where you kinda just want to throw your hands in the air and shake your head around. And if you're feeling really into it, maybe dance around your room like an idiot to release some stress. I predict this four piece band from Orange County, California has great things ahead. Check out their most popular song Rotten Apples as well. I present to you, Voxhaul Broadcast.  Enjoy my friends.

Song Of The Day: Wine and Chocolates- Theophilius London

When I first heard this song I was like "Oh cool, new Kid Cudi song." So of course, I pulled out my phone and Shazamed it. I found that it is actually Brooklyn based artist, Theophilius London. He categorizes his music as "new wave, pop, soul." I like what I'm hearing.

Song Of The Day: Someone Great- LCD Soundsystem

On repeat.

Song Of The Day: M83- I Guess I'm Floating

There are those certain songs that we rarely come across in our lives. For me, I can probably only count them on one hand. They're the type of song that just completely brings you back to a memory, or a time. They're a beautiful moment that ends too soon, much like a beautiful moment. Where you escape reality for a few short minutes. And although its only a few minutes, it's remarkable. That is how I feel about this song: M83- I Guess I'm Floating. It is only 1 minute and 59 seconds, and as soon as it over I instantly press play again. There are no lyrics, just beautiful sounds that completely captivate you for the whole 1:59. If I ever make a movie one day...this song will be in it. You can hear children in the background and it just reminds me of innocence and childhood. Before anything in life was complicated, a memory all of us can share.
