One of my new favourite songs that I have been listening to non stop is Budapest by George Ezra. The first time I heard this song was on the radio station called indie88 based out of Toronto. George Ezra is a new upcoming artist in the indie world from Hartford, England. At just 21 years old, Ezra has provided the indie world with amazing music that is reaching the top 10 on many charts around the world and number one on the charts in the Czech Republic, Austria and New Zealand.
His album Wanted On Voyage was released in late June, 2014 and is slowly starting to become a huge success with the growing popularity of the song Budapest. Ezra was not only born with extreme musical talents but he also has experience with his music knowledge as he studied at TheBritish and Irish Modern Music Institute in 2011. Some of George Ezra’s late musical inspiration comes from artists such as Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.
In the popular indie music blog called, When The Gramaphone Rings they feature George Ezra on their Live Review section. They review him as being a breath of fresh air with a voice beyond his years. A breath of fresh air is a perfect description for Ezra’s song Budapest. This song brings me to a place of summertime drives and long sunny beach days. Listening to this tune brings me so much happiness and joy and I hope it can do the same for you!
The Head and the Heart is an indie folk band based out of Seattle, Washington. So far this group has released two albums called: The Head and the Heart (2011), and Lets Be Still (2013). One thing I love about this band is their name. I believe the name represents the type of music they create and the type of artists they are as a whole. The music of this group is mentally and emotionally healing. The type of music they make is calming for the head, and inspirational for the heart.
The song posted to the left is called, Another Storyfrom the album, Lets Be Still.I absolutely love this song. It is one of those tunes that puts a smile on your face as you bob your head to the catchy beat of the song. This song is such a summer jam for me. It reminds me of summer drives up to the cottage or chill nights on the porch with a bottle of wine and good friends. "Another Story" makes me think of conversations with friends and the constant excitement of sharing new stories with one another. There are many experiences in life that make for great stories and this song brings me back to summer memories and stories from up at the cottage. What stories does this tune make you think about? Enjoy.
