Music of the Moment - A Late 21st March
the literary omnivore wanted to know about my songs of the moment.
First an apology – I was convinced this was for 24th not 21st! Sorry it’s late!
You’ve caught me at a good time for musical obsession because I am currently tied up in a few songs. Can’t promise quality, but I like them (I’m pretty well known for my love of mainstream pop-folk):
"Daniel in the Den" – Bastille
I am in love with this whole messy album (how many folk trends you gonna put in one project, son?).
"A Certain Romance" – The Arctic Monkeys
I’m kind of collecting critiques of British small town living done by insiders.
"Candy" – Robbie Williams
In my head this plays alongside a vid detailing Caroline Forbes’ character evolution.
"Riverside" – Agenes Obel
Still stuck on this – it’s been about a year now. There's just so much delicacy in here, but it's matched with firm chords that give it a real spine.
"Hey Brother" – Aviccii
Someone could use this to make a really great Firefly fanvid…
"Counting Stars" – One Republic
And to finish, an adorable of the moment pop-folk deal which reminds me of a million YA books.

I'd completely forgotten about the Arctic Monkeys! I need to revisit them. The Killers' second album, Sam's Town, is all about a mythical American small town somewhere in the desert, which I heartily recommend if you are willing to expand to my side of the pond for that specific topic in music. (See also: Bruce Springsteen.)
"Candy" is so bubbly and brassy! I dig it. Additionally, I would wear everything Williams sports in that video, so that's a plus as well.
"Riverside" is gorgeous.
I really need to sit down and listen to Aviccii. It sounds exactly like what I love.
"Counting Stars" is a good song (status: Enchantress and Lorelei video where Enchantress promises her sister that they'll never want for anything), but it's been overplayed for me on American radio as of late.

Williams in this vid is just the perfect version of my favourite part of his celeb personality - that cheeky, bit of a sarky lad thing is what makes him so relatable despite all his bad time I think.
And yeah Counting Stars is on all the time here and the overplay bugged me too. I think it's now reached that state of overplay though where it's become embedded in my brain and associated with a lot of situations so that its simple lyrics have become way too meaningful, like more menaingful than they actually are so I'm going through a feels association new love with it.
