Favorite Artist of the Moment: Butterfly Boucher.
At the moment I'm listening to a lot of indie/non-mainstream music.
A lot of the music I'm listening to has been featured on Grey's Anatomy, which has the best soundtrack ever heard on television.
The show gives a lot of play to women and indie artists. It's an awesome show, but I'd watch it for the music alone. (You can just look up who has had songs featured on it, though. This Amazon page is a good starting point.)
A few of my favorite artists at the moment (whom you should check out):
- Snow Patrol
Tegan and Sara
Jem
Psapp
Lisa Loeb
Brandi Carlile
Emiliana Torrini
Ivy
I've heard about five songs from her album Flutterby, and they are all hits, in my opinion. I don't write about music v. well, I just know what I like, so you'd be better off reading how other people describe it. But some of the songs are upbeat and fun, and some are v. haunting.
My favorite song by her at the moment is "Never Leave Your Heart Alone." There's a point in the song where her voice gives me chills. Obviously, this song is not one of the upbeat ones!
"And it's open
For distraction
You found all the words you need
Well I found nothing
I just grumble
'cause I don't know what I feel
The moral to the story goes
Never leave your heart
Never leave your heart...alone
Run for shelter
An umbrella
Fights the rain but not the wind
And I'd be silly
To start preaching
'cause I don't know which point to make!
The moral to the story goes
Never leave your heart
In a box
Locked up
With cold cold ice
Never leave your heart
...Never leave your heart...alone
Am I frozen?
But it's summer!
Is that rain or is that me?
Yes I'm melting
Please be happy
One day soon
We might just swim
The moral to the story goes
Never leave your heart
In a box
Locked up with cold cold ice
Never leave your heart
...Never leave your heart
...Never leave your heart alone"
--Butterfly Boucher, "Never Leave Your Heart Alone"
