Here's yet another Song of the Moment tune. This one comes from a band who recently put out their 4th EP in 3 years. This most recent EP was released on Valentine's Day and this tune comes from it. I recently heard this song paired with a video for a 5k that I'm going to run soon in July in Richmond and I CANNOT wait to run it and take video/photos while I run it...just be patient...you'll see it when I'm done. Anyways, here's the song. It's a good one. Enjoy!
Song of the Moment 3/11/12 On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons
I've been rocking out to this song for several months but I haven't made it a SotM song. Sorry about that. Here it is now.
This track comes from a talented young guy from Scotland from all the way back in late 2006. It's a cool song because it's a true story and personal experience of Paolo Nutini. He was dating an older woman but one day when we finally admitted he was only 18 she told him it wouldn't work because he was too young. Women.
Now enjoy this tune that for some reason YouTube refused to let me embed so here's the link:
Happy Leap Day everyone! Or if you don't celebrate this pagan holiday celebration of Leap Day William...then happy February 29th.
This tune comes from a NYC artist that I first heard last February 14th with "Flying Overseas", was amazed by him, but didn't give him a Song of the Moment tune for some odd reason. I love almost all of his stuff and if you haven't listened to his stuff before you definitely need to check him out. So here he is, an artist that I think is absolutely going to blow up soon, so check it now!
Song of the Moment 2/29/12 Why Even Try by Theophilus London ft. Sara Quin
When I first heard this song several weeks ago I honestly thought it was Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros coming out with something new. I listened a little closer and could tell it wasn't them. I HAD to know who it was. I'm glad I figured it out because this band RULES. This song comes from an Icelandic folk band that released this song in the US a month ago and it's been doing quite well. So, if you haven't heard this song...just click play. Enjoy today's SotM!
Song of the Moment 2/28/12 Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men
Here's another tune for you music lovers out there.
My last Song of the Moment jam ("Don't Stop") was in September and was released as a single by this band in January of this year...it's a great song so don't be afraid to look in the blog archives for it. But this band's first single was released in 2010 yet didn't really hit big until early-ish in 2011 and was one of the most overplayed songs of the year. It's a good song but WOW I couldn't stand to hear it for a while there. This song of theirs is another great tune, with a weird music video, and I hope you appreciate it for not being "Pumped Up Kicks." You're welcome.
Song of the Moment 2/25/12 Helena Beat by Foster the People
My dear friends, I apologize for the long time it's been since I have posted about music. I've been blogging a decent amount recently but it's mostly been about my recent photo and video works. I was really trying to make my website look more professional and all that but I'm going to be redoing my website soon enough to allow me to blog about whatever I want AND also have posts about my video/photo work. So enough talking...welcome back to the Song of the Moment!
This tune comes from a talented musician that I knew nothing about until a couple months ago. Check out this song from his August 2011 album. Enjoy!
Song of the Moment 2/25/12 Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye (ft. Kimbra)
And then I got a photo published in print, used for an ad, for the Tobacco Company Restaurant in Richmond, VA
Other than that, my photos have recently been used for Christmas cards (BEAUTIFUL family), a photo contest (WINNER), and upcoming save-the-dates for a wedding! I hope you enjoy my photo work, thanks for checking it out!
