Songs to Spur You On

#5. La De Les - Gadfly:

Ambient - Post-rock / Other - Beautiful cascades of intricate music.  Solid theme through out the album.  Plus, they are really solid people.

#4. Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal:

Such a fun album.  Female and male vocals woven through a folky tapestry of sound.

#3. Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones:

Everywhere from edgy rock to sweet ballad’s, Frank covers a multitude of emotions and delivers on each song.

#2. The King is Dead - The Decemberists:

Though it disappointed some long-time fans, I personally found it a very solid folk-rock album.

#1. Thrice - Major, Minor:

Hard Rock - Phenomenal Lyrics - Amazing Live show.  Just listen to it.

v1:

It’s been years since there’s been enough water to / keep the dry dirt down /

So the wind she churns up the soil and / she blows it around / she blows us all down /

Chorus:

With cracked earth beneath our feet / and bellies full of dust /

We sing “please oh please / send the rain to us” /

v2:

I saw living water pouring from / that hole in his side / and when i drank i knew i’d thirst no more / and i became alive / for the first time /

outro:

I’m waiting to hear the pitter patter of water on my window (repeat)

…and when I hear the pitter patter of water on my window /

I know the rain will wash it all away and we will be healed.
