Lyric Love

As always, I've been listening to a lot of music throughout my day. Since I pretty much always have my headphones in, often the music becomes a background soundtrack to my day, as I'm usually focused on something else. I love good lyrics, and I find it especially impressive when a lyric is so well-written that my subconscious catches my attention to point it out. It's happened a few times over the last week, where I'm working on something and my brain says, "hey, you, what they just said was pretty awesome," and I rewind a bit to check it out. I thought I'd share these catches with you, with the hopes of spreading good music your way. Not declaring these to be THE BEST lyrics ever, but I enjoy them. :)

I just recently got these two albums, so they've been on rotation pretty frequently this week.

Song I Recommend

"When My Time Comes" by Dawes

I saw this video on another blog forever ago, and I really enjoyed it, but I didn't LOVE it as much as that blogger predicted I would. Then, just yesterday I heard it on The Current, and I was like "what is this?!" Maybe the video distracted me from how wonderful this song is, I don't know. It's a good video, but maybe consider pushing play then shutting your eyes.

If you like the song, you can download it for FREE on RCRDLBL. If you're in Chicago, Dawes is playing The Metro on March 12 with Deer Tick and Middle Brother (MB is a supergroup of members from Dawes, Deer Tick and Delta Spirit).
