Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone

This is absolutely beautiful. Listen to the pain in his voice. He makes you feel it, through the entire song. This song had me in tears the first time I heard it. It's very rare, that I come across a song, that is able to do this. It's absolutely beautiful. Just listen.

Glen Hansard - Say It To Me Now

I love it when I come across artists that are dripping in emotion. When they open their mouth, you feel to the core, what that artist is feeling. Whether you have experiecned it or not. So raw, so rare, so..... bare. I found it in this here song. Have a listen.

Ultimate Sacrifice - Madilyn Bailey (Original)

I found this video through twitter. This song is one of the most touching songs one could ever write. Must listen to this young singer song writer's beautiful song of the hardest choice one could ever make in life. The choice of adoption.

Lisa Hannigan, "Splishy Splashy"

I have never been more emotional touched by a song before, than what this song brings me. This song reminds me of my lifetime with my Mother. I simply have fallen in love with it. Listen to this song. I am positive this song will do good things for your ears as well.

Andrew Sloman - Wear her down

Lovely Song. Yall should all take the time to invest in this artist. His music is simply devine.

"Bobby Long came round and we had a beer"

I've a myspace blog that I do not keep updated much these days, was going through my posts to see which music posts were worthy of re-posting here. This one is definitely worth re-posting here. <3

Tuesday, March 16th 2010, I celebrated my 29th birthday with a Bobby Long show at Poor David's Pub, in Dallas Texas. Bobby sounded THE BEST I have ever heard him. I can not describe the rich quality behind his vocals at this show. He is definitely getting better and better each time he stands behind a mic on each stage, for every crowd. This man's voice will be soothing our souls for many years to come.
Now, as soon as I got in the venue I found Phil and he accomidated my friend Rea with a nice little spot with a great view of the stage. AND he bought me a shot. At first, when Phil asked me what I was drinking, I went with the usual, a shiner. BUT a lovely little lady named Misty just happened to be near by and reminded me I needed to take a shot for my birthday, so Phil got me a tequilla shot for my birthday shot : ) Phil told me to enjoy the show, and that he would come get me when Bobby was ready to meet with me. SO I took my shot, ordered a couple of drinks for my friends and myself, then sat down to listen to Bobby Long sing and play his beautiful Gibson.
Bobby's complete setlist for this show escapes my mind. But I know that "Two Tone Lover" "Two Years Old" "In The Frost" "My Darling Bell" Jack Teagarden cover "A 100 years from today" (ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULY DELIVERED ! x's 100) "T is for Texas" Cover "Pennance Fire Blues" "Who have you been loving" (which he dedicated to Tiger Woods, again) and he said because he is half irish, (which I am too, so I really enjoyed this one)he wanted to close the show with "Dublin's there for me."

Now, the good stuff. Phil came and got me, and took me back to meet Bobby for my private meet & greet "backstage." We sat down and drank a beer while chatting away. I don't want to share the conversastion that Bobby and I had, that is for me, myself, and I. Well, and bobby's lovey friends that were there. Just know that it was Very Real. Our conversation. : ) I will however, share that Bobby Long is the most Humble Man I have ever met. He seemed so genuine. Bobby signed numerous items that I brought in from his merch table. (that was money well spent as well) AND he Answered the million dollar ? that involves his song "this strange love." The line no one could figure out, I asked, and Bobby clarified. The line is "methanol mind full of ugly heads." To all you Bobby Long fans out there that have been trying to decipher that line, you are welcome. ; )

I am honoured and blessed to have had the oppurtunity, to sit and have a conversation with this young man. His music touches my soul, and moves me to a higher place, in my darkest moments. Bobby is, to those of you that know me, the Guitar Ninja. I could listen to him play that guitar, for days on end, and it would NEVER get old. I am so lucky to have been able to sit down with this artist that I so completely admire.

Bobby Long inspires me to pursue things, dreams, I gave up so long ago, to raise my boys. Being a young mother, raising my boys and providing for them, became my priority. My boys are my life : )

Bobby Long, plays the guitar in a way that can steal your breath. I am moved by his words, and his chords, on that Gibson of his. Seeing Bobby off the stage, and on a coach, chatting with me, showed me a glimpse of who he is inside. He welcomed me, like I was an old friend coming to have a visit. The warmth in his heart shined through, in our conversasion. This makes me appreciate and Respect him as an artist even MORE. What a lovely man Bobby Long is, and I am Proud to say, I am a fan. : )

Even though it doesn't feel like nearly enough...
That is all.
