@Ser_Soy_Ser: Muchísimas gracias por postear ese grupo, realmente me ha encantado y si no lo llegas a dar a conocer por aquí quizás nunca lo habría conocido. Voy a mantener un ojo en todo lo que haga.
Seabear
Seabear es un grupo de música islandés cuya música se encontraría entre los géneros Folk e Indie. Algunas de sus canciones han aparecido en series de televisión tales como Gossip Girl o Grey's Anatomy (fue a partir de ésta que los descubrí). Sus canciones son simplemente preciosas, las melodías que hacen son cálidas y envolventes, y sus letras son melancólicas pero con un deje de cariño en ellas.
Han sacado varios EPs y LPs como:
I'm Me on Sundays
Singing Arc EP
The Ghost That Carried Us Away
Lion Face Boy / Cold Summer 7" (2009)
We Built a Fire (2010)
While the Fire Dies EP (2010)
Algunas de sus canciones y letras son:
Cold SummerYour teeth too big for your mouth
Every summer we'd pull the stinger out
Looking like our parents did
Drunk at the dance, I knew you hid
Picture of her eyes under your skin
She wasn't old enough to let love in
I can see your eyes turn blue
I can see the weather changing you
Cold summers, one after the other
Got old fast, grew tired of each other
Born across from you
Proud sleepless child, followed her
It's getting harder to find it in me
Bite my lipe, fall asleep
But now, but now can be
falling down
filling, filling the empty
She could sing to shipmen
I lay my eyes on you
down where we grew lost
find your month and winter skin
It's getting harder to find it in me
I scab my wounds and fall asleep.
But now, but now can be
falling down
filling, filling the empty.
Cat PianoHalf-remembered
Drunken nights
The sun stayed up like
a diamond in the sky
I woke up - where have you been?
I know I'm bored
and my blood is pretty thin
But some nights I swear
There was magic in the air:
A fox invites me to part from loneliness
Wolfes seem to create scent
An owl in my head
Your head's in headlock
Are you in trouble again?
Now you've lost another friend
You felt something
But you're never feeling loved
Wind that'll break men
You're the one that freaking lost
Hands RememberDo you remember
What things looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend
Or the notes to your first song
It's been awhile now
Since you asked me to be
Your cat, your dog, your owl, your bumblebee
Lately I've been feeling like the day is gonna come
You'll walk up to me and erase my memory
Can't wait to feel brand new
I can't wait to meet you again...friend
I think I must have known you
In another life
I think our rocking chairs
Used to rock together all night
With pictures of owls
All over the walls
Tiny ships in bottles
They won't sail too far
Fire dies slowI'll build you a fireSóley
No hay demasiada información de esta chica, a excepción de que que es de nacionalidad islandesa y que estudió composición. Forma parte del grupo
Seabear, y es compositora y pianista.
Sus canciones podrían considerarse dentro del amplio genero musical del Indie, y están compuestas por melodías dulces y enigmáticas, junto con letras un tanto violentas, melancólicas y surrealistas acompañadas de una voz preciosa.
Ha sacado dos CDs, Theater Island (2010) y We sink (2011).
Algunas de sus canciones y letras son:
I'll drownHe’s alone in his house out there,
far, far away,
he sleeps with his eyes open.
He was so sad last night,
in this house out there
he took my hand
and whispered.
And life is so sad
in this house out there,
his window’s alright
his garden is wonderful.
But this waterfall salt tears
comes from him,
he will fill his house.
He takes my hand
and whispers:
I’ll drown when I see you,
I’ll drown when I see you,
I’ll drown when I see you.
These tears run so fast
in his house out there
he tried to get out,
his house took his hand and smiled.
You’ll never escape
from this sad, sad house,
I take his hand,
we sink.
I’ll drown when I see you,
I’ll drown when I see you,
I’ll drown when I see you,
I do.
Smashed BirdsI walk the road when I realise my death
The road that knows about my pity, little past
I grab one note and put it in my pocket
With your birds.
I walked the road
until I came close to your house.
Your house was floating on my water
I asked one tree one tree to take me in
To your house.
And there I took all of your birds
and I smashed them in my pocket-Oh
And then I got the feathers off and
I made myself a beautiful dress.
In your basement was a letter to myself
You wrote it when we were married
I took this note and put it in my mouth
With your words.
And then I took all your words and I ate them by the fire-Oh
And then I tore the pages up and
I made myself a beautiful dress.
I spoke your words out in your garden where
I built my new house near your flowers, trees & bees
I told our trees and bees to fly away
With your words and your birds.
And then I took all your words and I ate them by the fire-Oh

Two more, esta vez ambos de folk.
The Civil Wars
The Civil Wars es un duo formado por Joy Williams y John Paul White. Empezaron su carrera musical en 2008, y han sacado un único CD, pero es una maravilla. Fueron teloneros de Adele en su gira por Norte America, y han sido también teloneros de Emmylou Harris. Su canción Poision & Wine apareció en Grey's Anatomy.
Melodías fascinantes, letras poéticas y preciosas, y dos voces maravillosas.
C'est la mortSwan dive down eleven stories high
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me
Go get lost where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes, but darlin' if you please,
Don't go without me.
C'est la vie, c'est la mort.
(It is life, it is death.)
You and me,
Forevermore.
Let's walk down the road that has no end.
Steal away where only angels tread.
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart to take me when you leave.
Don't go... Please don't go. Don't go without me.
I've got this friendI've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hid in his hardened way
Oh i've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh i've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
It'd be such a shame
(if they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(he sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(if only)
If only
Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (i've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (i've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
Poison & WineYou only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
Oh you think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will

Dance me to the end of love (cover de Leonard Cohen)Angus & Julia Stone
Otro dúo esta vez formado por dos hermanos australianos, Angus Stone y Julia Stone. Han sacado diversos álbumes, como:
A Book Like This
Down the Way
Big Jet Plane
Julia también tiene un album en solitario, llamado The Memory Machine.
De su música digo lo mismo que con The Civil Wars: melodías fascinantes, letras poéticas y preciosas, y dos voces maravillosas. Sus melodías pero, son un poco más cálidas que las de The Civil Wars.
Big Jet PlaneShe said, hello mister
Pleased to meet ya
I want to hold her,
I want to kiss her,
She smell the daisy,
She smell the daisy,
She drive me crazy,
She drive me crazy

Chorus: Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane(X4)
Hey hey
BabylonSo rest your head-
you're all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won't go home.
Let's go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She's my Babylon.
So rest your heart-
you're all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood-
Red as when.
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
see you go.
No I don't want to
be alone.
So rest your hand -
you're all mine.
I can't stay awake,
my eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
that you walk 'round
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone
No I don't want to
Be alone.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
Devil Tear'sHe said,"I am the devil, boy, come with me
And we'll make many storms".
He offered me the universe,
But inside my heart there's a picture of a girl.
Some call love a curse, some call love a thief,
But she's my home.
And she's as much apart for this broken heart,
But see broken bones always seem to mend.
I'll taste the devil's tears,
Drink from his soul but I'll never give up you.
I'll taste the devil's tears,
Drink from his soul but I'll never give up you.
He said,"I am the devil, boy,
Come with me and we'll break many laws".
He offered me eternal life,
But inside my heart there's a picture of a girl.
Some call love a worth, some call love a thief,
But she's my home.
And she's as much apart for this broken heart,
But see broken bones always seem to mend.
I'll taste the devil's tears,
Drink from his soul but I'll never give up you.
I'll taste the devil's tears,
Drink from his soul but I'll never give up you.
Just a boyI bit my tongue in the awkward conversation.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion.
That big old smile is all you wore.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
You can hold me to that.
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why
I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy
Did I say I'm just a boy
You can hold me to that
Lonely Hands (versión de Just a boy de Julia Stone) Si la original es buena, esta es grandiosa.
You're the one that I want
