Song of the day - "Heaven Bound" - Tijuana and Blair Dollery

Image result for Blair Dollery


Enter the rush of the guitar coupled with a pop of  tambourine. Experimentation of sounds captivates.  You are going to love this in an instant.   He really turns your world around  He pulls out the last d in bliiindd. And he knows it gets heavy. A love that is not conventional.

The inextricably bound lyrics and crisp, smoky guitar work on this tracks amps it to a different level.   The track starts heavy then drifts out to a quick stop.  It is an inquisitive track with sassy riffs and accompanying reverb.   And  Springlike bird sounds.  Yea as if you are taking a nature walk.  But its the smoking guitar solo that will halt you in your tracks. Lush and ripe. It is right up there with the greats. Apparently Tijuana put the musc together, then gathered Blair up to ignite the gutar parts and write the words. It  works .

The video follows a banged up couple couple reaching seeking moving through the sunlit forest.  Her messy bun matches his weary, forlorn look. The illustrious guitr solo haunts .  There is rebellion brewing in its warmth. And truth.  A relationship shattered by others comments. A fierce belief in movin on despite crticisms.   The halted stop signifies to me a fuck you. Yea we are going to be together anyway.  This song reveals and heals. The musical engagement  treats the listerner to an unencumbered ride. Beautiful just beautiful.

Song of the day - "Turbulence" - Archpalatine

"Turbulence"  Starts with his utilizing his voice as an instrument along with his nimble fingers taking care of the keys. The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his  voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy.   The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar.  Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...
