I realise I spend most of my days googlesearching (i am a googlequeen!) because I am a geek and I don’t know much about music or whatsinthescene. I think rachelyamagata must be v.sad sometimes because her lyrics are vdepressing -idontlistentothem! AND tristan prettyman has an interesting-sounding surname. heehee.
still still still, there is stg organic sounding about their tunes; raw & stripped down that is absent of big orchestras and louddrumsets. TP’s love for writing (and personalstyle) makes me think of the onesong we wrote for R (on her twentyfirst!) & we formed the tune with the only chords I knew (which means no bar chords. har har). The chorus was about gallvanting about in a car lateatnight for macdonald icecream & fries- which we always did. sofunny & corny when I think back. Reading up on the relatively unknown TP and RY reminds me of the times Di n I wld write songs as birthdaygifts & my vbad strumming of the guitar (of cos TP & RY’s musical skills are waayyyy better). daysofmyyouth. ! I am wanting to believe though that there are never lostyears even if we seem farfaraway or if we dont feel god. it’s all abt the heart…and if the heart’s willing, there WILL always be people walkingbeside in the journey until you get there. and there will come a time when the lostyears and losttime’s redeemed.
and did u know that: rachelyamagata has played songs for OC and NIPTUCK. While prettyman is Jason Mraz’s exgf! ohh i think lightning just went off outside di’s room which sounded exactly like fireworks! im tired & sleepy & am sick of staring at my laptop (sw: i am doing work okay, even if i can have my hair down and be in tshirt&shorts!)
