Anyhow, tonight I am posting the song 'Midsummer Night's Dream' by Noe Venable because today, June 23, is Midsummer's Eve!
Though really, this song isn't about summer's solstice &c. It also has nothing to do with the Shakespearean play of the same name. {Which actually, was the first Shakespeare play I read, aged 11. By the time I was 14 I had read the "Complete Works" .... I am told this is not normal. *shrug*}
I wasn't sure if I liked this song the first time I heard it... with her opening half-whispered, half-sung vocals and those two girls conversing in the middle of the song. But it was different! And different is {usually} good, I have come to realize... in a world where popular music runs together in a mass of inane lyrics and hypnotic beats. So, as it often turns out, I ended up loving this song. Noe Venable is an artist I am eager to hear more from as well!
Listen:
She's amazing. That whole album is a work of art
ReplyDeleteShe is! I was hoping to buy one of her albums soon, I was thinking either "The World is Bound by Secret Knots" or "Summer Storm Journals". :)

ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself, as long as the artist is just being himself or herself, and not "trying" to be different.
Yeah, cause then that's just kinda lame....
