Songs I like - "Where Do You Go?" - Dope Lemon

The sullen measured redolent resonances Angus laid down in "Where Do You Go" cracked my already fractured heart. But the breaking led to the putting back together. The regroup. The healing tide. When I heard it for the first time, I had to hold my own hand. I need to let it marinate in my conscious. I had to let it envelope my my skin.

His words on the You Tube video.
"You have my permission to dislike if this song doesn't change your life". For some reason, it did. If even on a molecular level.

It was one of those songs that slithered into my psyche. "Uh huh Where is that you go" The lyrics may seem simplistic but there is nothing simple about it you know sometimes you need to go deep. Where is that you go? Dope Lemon just popped in the sidebar due to some algorithmic effect. Sometimes that shit scares me. But I wind up finding some lovely songs.

Dope Lemon is the lustrous side project of Angus Stone. "You gonna be alright. We gonna be alright." The pedal steel, the cascading percussion and the lilting lyrics. The , psychedelic video that accompanies this semi tear jerker. He is basically consoling a friend or a lover. Is he telling them not to worry he won't leave. Or after a few more listens, I went deep to think perhaps the person is puking his drugs out and the vitals were off kilter. He slows the roll of his already low rumbling voice to assure them they aren't going to visit the Grim Reaper tonight. The percussion rises like a friend's tough love. It all slips away with a sonorous melting of piano keys. I adore this song. There isn't much more I can say.

I don't know why Dope Lemon isn't getting more cred. Dope is dope.

She wore lemon.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy. barney favors Stetson looks btw. Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments. Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells a little story about his journey. He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue. He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap. So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby", Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me, " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process. Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport
