Still Interesting (3)?

Tags

creative, Edison's Medicine, In Letter Form, Indie, inspiration, lyrics, music, Obscure but Interesting, rock, Shoegaze

This is a song by the band  In Letter Form who released just two albums before the death of their frontman.

For me, some of their work initially seems quite derivative ( but that could just be down to age!), but, seeing beyond that, they definitely had an emerging voice of their own.

This track is Edison’s Medicine.

Enjoy.

Saw a really talented busker in town yesterday who was playing a 5-string bass.

If you like experimental, instrumental rock he’s worth checking out.

And Also The Trees, creative, inspiration, lyrics, music, Obscure, Slow Pulse Boy

‘All good things…’ and all that.

What started as an idea for half a dozen songs is threatening to become a monster, so, in order to avoid tedium, I will close this series with one final song.

No room then for the unique Chelsea Wolfe; Swedish bands ‘ The Search’ and ‘ PG Lost’, Russia’s ‘ Motorama’ or Ireland’s ‘ Leya’; ‘Duels’, Scott Bradie and the fabulously named Norwegian band ‘ Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson’ will all have to wait.

I shall close with a song from the group ‘ And Also The Trees’.

This is ‘ Slow Pulse Boy’

Thank you for listening and enjoy!

Your Words

Your words

Weave poetry inside my head,

Ballerinas twirling landscapes

Which envelop and enthrall,

Dreamscapes nostalgia-drenched

And hope-kissed,

A music soaked canvas

Of swirling guitars and mandolins,

Melodious swelling organs

And basses that roll like thunder,

Infectious like a love-plague,

Inducing a trance from which

I’ll never wish to leave,

Clouds which close behind me

And hold me in the world of

Your words.
