Chris Hawkes
“Falling Into Doubt”
This song played on MTV tonight. Chris is a great Texas (yay!) artist. I love his chord progressions. If you’ve ever listened to old school seven mary three, you’ll notice a lot of resemblance in the sort of dissonant chord patterns, and similarly how they resolve. It’s great music. I also have a thing for falsetto lately. This guy will be making a splash in the coming days, you can be sure.

Hem
“The part where you let go”
Like the indigo girls, the harmonies in this song are actually lower than the melody. I absolutely love the result. If I were to classify this group, I’d say it’s nickel creek meets Indigo girls. It’s a bit more complex than just that though. You’ll find many more instruments in HEM’s arsenal. If you listen to “Half acre” you’ll hear a bassoon, an oboe, piano, xylophone, clarinets, and strings.
If a sense of musical folk is your thing, you’ll really dig this music.

Sara Bareilles
“Gravity”
I’ve had this song on standby since before I left for my Jamaica Vacation in early September.
I just never got around to posting it — sorry.
Sarah reminds me of Sarah McLachlan a bit. I hope you like it.
I’ve been busy lately. I’m in the process of buying my first house. This website might be quiet for a couple weeks more.
