songwritin' : an expeditionary tale

This week's playlist takes on a more melancholy expression of the weariness of a long week. The feeling and exasperation that drives us all to our wit's end. The three gentlemen this week take those feelings and turn them into songs built from experience and poor judgement. Their songs feel as if the emotion is poured out with the viscosity of molasses. Slow and thick but an explosion of flavor and emotion burst forth from the lyrics. They share dynamic and unique voices that rip through and quiet any crowd.

The uniting sound of the songwriter brings forth a visualization of the back roads of America passing through a passenger side window. As we watch the world around pass by all too quickly, take a moment to relax and in the words of Ferris Bueller "life moves pretty fast. if you don't slow down and look around, you might miss it?" as referenced in Nature Cat, a highly underrated cartoon on PBS. The episode we watched the other day referenced that quote. You will have to find the episode but take a moment and learn a life lesson from Hal the affable dumb dog in said cartoon and you may not understand how you got where you are but so what, take advantage of where you are and make the most of it.
