I've been a big fan of this brilliant singer song writer David Ford from Eastbourne, United Kingdom. He's a solo artist similar to Damien Rice but he seems to not get the attention that Damien got. I love them both because I have the knack for attracting to all things depressing when it comes to music. I like to feel the artist's heart as he's singing his songs. I was fortunate to catch one of his show in Mercury Lounge years ago. Small intimate venues are the best for you to connect with the artist. One of my favorite show. The greatest artists come from the pure natural talent to play instruments. Watching him creating magic on stage that one night was enough for me to become a fan for life. I respect true musical talent which is rare to find these days. Finally had time to buy his latest albums. Almost forgot how wonderful this man truly is...

I've been experimenting listening to the music late at night on my iphone with my headsets without any noise surrounding me... and it's quite interesting because you can hear everything, from flickering of the guitar to the painful sound of the singer's voice. It's soulful and tranquil. I know strange since I live in the city and you almost always have your headsets on listening to music, but during the day the noise from everyone and everything interrupt your thoughts, you get distracted from the song. It's been a while since I let the music carry me away.

These are rather depressing songs, but they are so beautifully written and performed.
