Good Old War - Amazing Eyes

You have amazing eyes The right one suspicious and the left one wants my love I don't care what you think I've done I know I never meant no harm to anyone

Fink - Looking Too Closely

Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself

Andrew Huang - I Would Die 4 U (Prince Cover)

I'm not your lover I'm not your friend I am something that you'll never comprehend

Little May - Hide / Little May - Boardwalks

I feel so haunted in your bed Is it me or is it her, that's in your head. And you found it, but you drowned it, and you washed it clean Feed me words while you had her between your sheets

Cause' we are not afraid of who we are but of what we have become, And we are not afraid of what's to be when this road has just begun, So we will turn our backs and close the doors for the last time,

Mourning Mountains - Trust Me

Rating: 5/10 Cause I've been pulling this tugboat 'round... heart on my sleeve The melancholic inverted madness that is the voice of this song stirs and pulls, fighting against the swell of the soothing guitar. Beginning in 2011 from Oakley CA, Mourning Mountains present the acoustic youth in rough and honest form.

Iron and Wine - Upward Over the Mountain

Rating: 7/10 Mother don't worry... I killed the last snake the lived in the creek bed... Iron and Wine, a name for singer/songwriter Samuel Beam taken from a vitamin supplement label, is well established in folk- indie circles for soulful guitar and rather whimsical lyrics. He sets off this track with lullaby grace, soothing and strumming. Perfect for long walks between the roots of trees.

Green River Ordinance - "Cannery River"

dig our toes in that river bottom, play our music way up loud

Rating: 5/10

Green River Ordinance is a rock band from Texas. They have a soft rock style that can sound like pop rock, country, or even a bit like folk. Recently they released their EP Chasing Down the Wind which leads off with the song "Cannery River". This song, like most of theirs, is an acoustic one using a variety of string instruments. It is quiet and simple; and Josh Jenkins's beautiful voice is soothing with the acoustic instruments. It is a sweet love song, similar to most of their tracks. Green River Ordinance writes comforting and pretty music, however many of their songs are similar.

Crowded House - "Anyone Can Tell"

I dream of a place that's overrun by children... and the lord is in the kitchen

Rating: 5/10

Originally having started in 1985, grooving pop-rock band Crowded House has re-risen in 2006 for another great journey. However, this earthy track derives from their album Afterglow, and brings together their essential, soulful sound with what sounds like a countryside tale strung out on a wizened guitar. This slow-moving tune rocks and rolls with both lullaby vocals and sharp, pointed drum beats. This song, album, and band have all withstood the test of time, and I look forward to more.
