INSPIRERs Music of The Week (Week 1 - Indie Folk)
For anyone who has ever known me, know that I have an intense love with Indie Folk music. I have it playing all day, every day. I make it an every week dedication to finding new songs, that I normally will play over twenty times in one day. I'm talking, same song, on repeat until I could recite all the lyrics (which I also read over potentially three times by the end of the 24 hours). It's a passion of mine, and something that I've done for as long as I can remember. It's not my only taste in music, however, it's what drives me to be inspired, emotional and motivated. For years, I struggled connecting with my emotions. I had a difficult time expressing myself, however, music changed my life (Explosions in the Sky specifically), I felt as if I was able to understand it better. It allowed me to feel, and connect in a different way. Some days, I'm feeling like I need some rock and roll or rap to get me up beat and on my feet, other days, I need my indie folk to bring me back down to where I'm home.
That being said, I felt as if it would be an awesome experience to make a weekly piece based on the music that I discover throughout the week. The songs that influenced me, or motivated me, maybe just to influence or motivate you too. So, let's do this! There is a Spotify link by every song, so if you would like to add it to your playlist, go ahead! Week 1 is dedicated to the Indie Folk music that I've discovered throughout the last two weeks. Some of them connected with how I was feeling, the others just influenced me to be inspired that day.
1. Eyes On You - Hey Marseilles (Spotify Link)
2. This Is Why I Need You - Jesse Ruben (Spotify Link)
3. Oh Lord - Wrongonyou (Spotify Link)
This one is a personal favourite and I would highly recommend.
4. Underground - Cody Fry (Spotify Link)
5. A Better Place, A Better Time - Toh Kay (Spotify Link)
6. Meet Me In The Woods - Lord Huron (Spotify Link)
7. The Careful Ones - Paper Knees (Spotify Link)
8. Pinky Swear - Into It. Over It (Spotify Link)
9. Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups (Spotify Link)
This is a classic for me, however, I could listen to it over and over again. If you haven't heard it, you need to.
10. Porcelain - Tow'rs (Spotify Link)
This song is absolutely breathtaking, and had me hooked instantly.
