what a strange thing to say as you passed me by on your way out

Welcome.

Here's a blog, simply about music I love. What you will find here will be songs I have somehow stumbled across and have grown to appreciate so much so that I find them worth sharing. They are not bound by genre or age or any of that sort, but do not look here if you are looking for informed and professional music criticism. This blog is just a journal of sorts of the tunes I discover along the way, and from time to time one or two 'older' songs will be featured. To sample the songs, use the nifty radioblog on the right, and if you find that you like some, dont hesitate to ask me on messenger! It will be my pleasure.

To kick things off, here's the song that this blog is named after. The Concretes are a band from Sweden that realizes sometimes, all it takes is just a simple guitar hook, one woman's voice, and a melancholic melody to create a beautiful piece of music. Gorgeously lush, yet somehow shimmering with a quiet promise, this is the kind of tune that you do not take note on your first listen. But after some time, whether five minutes later or a month, it slowly seeps back in your mind and just sits there, beckoning for you to listen to it once more. Again. And again.

The Concretes - Say Something New

Even better, catch the video on their site.
