The process of looking for new artist that I enjoy listening to have been hard. I tend to gravitate towards one type. I can't really explain them, they are sad, quirky, folky, and definitely not pop. These are some new to me, some old with new songs I haven't heard.
Looking For You by The Lone Bellow is my favorite from this list...
The Lone Bellow - Looking For You Recorded Live: 10/29/2013 - Mill City Nights (Minneapolis, MN)
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...

Fear of loss…
I've been living with this fear for a while now, it sometimes creeps up on me at unexpected moment. It brought me to tears many times, I kept having to stop myself from thinking such horrific thoughts. The thought of losing someone you love... Noah has been with me since he was a tiny chubby baby. We went through a lot of things together, ups and downs, all those late nights struggling to stay awake for my projects while I was in school, a break up, moving from apartments to apartments, meeting new friends, being homeless as we were waiting to close on our house, settling down in our home, having a baby kitty sister. He's been with me through all those times, without judgement. He's just there, loving me, being there for me unconditionally. As he gets older, I live with this fear that one day he will leave me. I can't bear the thought of it, just the thought would get me to burst out crying uncontrollably. I kept making him promise to stay with me forever, but I know that's not realistic. I am doing everything I could to spoil him every minute of the day, somehow I still feel it's not enough. Time… it all comes down to time. Precious time should not be wasted.
Counting the days until 11.15.2014 when I can see Damien Rice live… yes I got tickets!! This album touches every fiber of my soul. He has this way with words for his song that reaches the deepest part of your heart that everyone once experienced. Eight years, I waited for a new album from him and he came out with this masterpiece. Just when I thought all great song writers are next to nonexistence, he gave me hope.
