Two Songs for a Friday


All My Days // Alexi Murdoch

This song reminds me of a number of scattered chapters of my life. Days when I had nothing to worry about except what to wear to the Union for a concert, or whether I was going to be late to work to blend smoothies, or whether love would last. Every time I listen to Alexi, I am reminded that each chapter, each day has influence on the next, and that I should go about them calmly, one step at a time.

Calgary // Bon Iver

The first single to be released on YouTube from Bon Iver's new eponymous album, set to release in June. It's what we've all been waiting for since For Emma, Forever Ago. This time, he has climbed out of his cabin in the Northern Woods of Wisconsin, and bucked up a bit. This time, there are more smiles than tears heard in the lyrics. One of the comments under this video says "Porn, for the blind." I couldn't agree more. Get excited. Get very excited.
