I'm in the mood for some happy music, so bring on all the twee music there is. I'm done with school til' the 22nd of January, and that's alot of time to get things done. I'm relishing this by listening to Suburban Kids with Biblical Names, whom I acquired after scoping out a few listens. At first I wasn't quite that fond, feeling that they sound a bit unpolished, but they're layered. The break-in song for me was Seems to be On My Mind, a jumpy pop tune with whistles and claps. I use to listen to it all the time when I got butterflies for a girl at school, not anymore though.
Thus, I've been indulging Trees and Squirrels by them instead. The title already gives happy imagery; aww, a squirrel and green greens. I'm mainly endeared by the finale of the song, where he croons "That silly night I did the ma....ca....re na / with someone named carena " Just another overbearingly cheery music. They're a less cheeky and less orchestrated Divine Comedy, but they have youth, which we all could relate and desperately clinging on to.
There's words floating around and it has to be snatched by some music. We've been fiddling with the piano now that Ben gave us back our dear keyboard that's old as your daddy's shoes. On loop we plan to capture Waterfall and another new one, Redwood. It has a intro-track, the one where it's a instrumental and leads into it. For some reason, it's just the indie thing to do. I'm looking at you Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arcade Fire, and Suburban Kids.
