    For Goodness Sake, Jim Jagger

    For Goodness’ Sake is a kooky song about lots of nasty stuff that seems to get regularly ignored or that some people don’t ever hear about because the information isn’t widely publicized. I could have probably created about 100 more verses, because that’s humanity for you! I don’t wish to down-play a lot of great…

    “Quite literally intended to convey life is too short to waste your time on people that don’t reciprocate.” Throw the Roses on “High & Dry”

  • Karma Brigade “Alive”

    Karma Brigade “Alive”

    Sometimes “now” sticks out like a sore thumb. We have this tendency to only notice it when things don’t suit us. Only as annoyance, anger, frustration, all these things occur. But how many wonderful “now’s” do we gloss over and let pass by leading up to those moments of conflict or constraint? That is the…

    “Break the Matrix” by Moon and Aries is a conceptual trilogy, each consisting of three tracks. In episode one, there were themes of “invasion” and anticipation for something (“Closer and Closer”).

    The vocal call and response technique between Dioneesus and Mahesh invoke the sentimental, romantic feelings that are at the core of every great love song.

  • Ordinary // Colours – Frustration has never sounded so sweet

    Ordinary // Colours – Frustration has never sounded so sweet

    It’s a song that was inspired by my own personal and friend’s experiences in dealing with workplace frustrations and was written as a therapeutic exercise for myself to attempt to channel the emotions into something that would be more constructively creative. It also coincidentally comes at a time when we are looking more critically at…

  • Betty Reed’s Deep Take on the Shallow End

    Betty Reed’s Deep Take on the Shallow End

    “When depression sets in, it’s not like I’m in the deep end of a pool struggling to not drown. It’s more like this feeling that I’m floundering in the shallow end and there is an easy way to rescue myself. I merely have to stand up. But it’s hard to do even that when your…

  • Clara Hannigan’s “Human Heart”

    Clara Hannigan’s “Human Heart”

    I noticed about “Human Heart” is that she is not speaking from the first person in this one. She is singing as a narrator in third person, yet she still delivers a very emotional performance vocally. That concept (the storyteller type) is a Folk music approach. Interesting.

  • Romain Gutsy’s Girl from Kerry

    Romain Gutsy’s Girl from Kerry

    It’s a song that takes on the approach of one of those storyteller-type of folk songs. Alas, this is Romain we’re talking about here! So, he adds his own unique personal touch on it by telling a sad story, but in absence of any sadness.

    Meet Jaxyn Lethe

    “The day I wrote the song, I was going through a tough breakup, was taking a break from school, and my best friend and I had just gotten into an argument. I felt like all outlets of social connection that I had were gone, and I truly didn’t know what to do.” Jaxyn Lethe
