HERE COMES THE SUN

This morning I was listening to the radio when the exquisitely beautiful 'Here Comes The Sun'

by The Beatles came on. Yet despite how much I love The Beatles, I had never heard the song 

before and was taken away at how wonderful it is. It's gentle, it's soothing, it's beautiful in every 

sense and truly is the perfect accompaniment to a gorgeous sun filled day which I'm sure is

exactly what John, Paul, Ringo & George intended.  

So to celebrate such a wonderful song, and the lovely weather we've been having, here is

that very song and some other sun related songs, and some pretty, sun filled photos to 

accompany it.

HERE COMES THE SUN // THE BEATLES

WALKING ON SUNSHINE // KATRINA & THE WAVES

CALIFORNIA SUN // THE RAMONES

WALK IN THE SUN //  MCFLY

EVENING SUN // THE STROKES

OCEAN DRIVE // LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY

WATERLOO SUNSET // THE KINKS

 

GEORGE EZRA // HAIM // COLDPLAY //

Wassup my homies.

I've got three brand new songs for you to check out:

1) GEORGE EZRA- CASSY O 

I love this guy and understandably I therefore love all his music.

Every song to me is an example of utmost perfection. I really cannot

fault him, and new offering 'Cassy O' is no exception.

It's got a real sense of soul, purpose and joy, not to mention the catchiest

hookline you will probably hear all year.

2) HAIM- IF I COULD CHANGE YOUR MIND

My fave girl group EVER, because of their irrefutable coolness

and way of showing that girls CAN PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

AND make decent rock and indie music are back with a new hit that once

again reminds us how AMAZING they are, and a video

that sees the girls bringing back synchronized dancing

(and making it look pretty damn cool).

3) COLDPLAY- MIDNIGHT

As ever with Coldplay, Chris Martin's claims that their newest album

'might be their last' are once again proven to be false with the band putting

out a new single, 'Midnight', at midnight, completely out of blue.

Like tigers prowling in shade of the African outback, they've apparently been

waiting for the perfect time to pounce with this new beauty that is a complete

departure from 'Mylo Xyloto' but not a far step from recent release 'Atlas'.

Don't you just love music?

SUBMARINE SOUNDTRACK// RAINY MORNINGS

In England the weather has been 

acting like a fully fledged hormonal teenager 

lately with thunderstorms, rain, hail, the odd

bit of sunshine and blustery winds galore.

Just the way we like it. Not.

But if there's one thing this type

of weather is good for, it's creating those

cosy mornings where you look out the window at said

weather cocooned in your pj's or dressing gown,

steaming mug of tea in one hand, choolate biscuit in

the other and sigh as you think to yourself,

'I'm so glad I'm not going out in that!'

This happened to me on Sunday, when, 

although I had to go volunteering out in the rain and wind

for five hours (dedication), I had that exact same cosy,

cocooned feeling. And when that feeling or moment

hits you, I can tell you the perfect thing you want

to be listening to: 

The Submarine soundtrack.

It was written for the brilliant Richard Ayode film interpretation of the novel by Joe Dunthorn way back 

when in 2011 by my all time favourite man crush, 

Alex Turner off of the Arctic Monkeys, my all time 

favourite band.

Submarine is one of my favourite films and the soundtrack

is one of the best ever written because in true Turner 

style the lyrics are complex and enigmatic, with a gorgeous  metaphoric beauty, all sung in soft gentle tones by

the man himself.

It's mind boggling music that somehow sets your mind and 

soul at peace and almost seems to light up a dark and empty

room with a hazy gentle glow, and that my friend, is what makes this soundtrack utterly perfect for those gloomy rainy days.

1) STUCK ON THE PUZZLE

2) GLASS IN THE PARK

3) PILEDRIVER WALTZ

4) HIDING TONIGHT

5) HARD TO GET AROUND THE WIND

GEORGE EZRA/ BUDAPEST/ DID YOU HEAR THE RAIN/ BBC 2014

Everybody, give a big, warm West Country welcome to

the wonderful Bristol native, GEORGE EZRA.

This extremely talented budding singer-songwriter with

a gloriously throaty voice that's as rich as dark chocolate 

 has become a firm favourite of BBC Radio One DJ's Zane Lowe 

(all hail the master of music)and Fearne Cotton and is 

currently being hailed as one to watch in 2014 

(and rightly so).

He's already played the Introducing Stage at Glastonbury

and embarked on a expedition of Europe in the pursuit

of adventure and inspiration for his ever increasing song book.

-You only have to listen to the fabulous 'Budapest' 

to spot those very influences which are beautifully

woven throughout the song. 

And if that wasn't enough reason to give George's music a 

spin, he's also been on tour with Tom Odell and 

Lianne La Havas AND he finished fifth in the BBC Sound

of 2014 poll.

George is currently working on his debut studio album

which judging by his EP 'Did You Hear The Rain?' is 

going to be a right corker/ smasher/ banger (as Miley

Cyrus would say) of an album.

Here are some of our fave George Ezra tunes...
