Mary Beth Maziarz – “Daydream Believer” from the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack

Download (not uploaded by me)

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don’t see it coming, now
you can’t stop yourself.
Now you’re out there swimming…
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you… Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you’re out there spinning…
In the deep.

Bird York- “In the Deep”

For a limited time only, download Susan Enan’s Plainsong album for free on Noisetrade. Susan Enan is best known for the wistful, incredible ballad “Bring On the Wonder” featured on the TV show Bones. The song is probably the most well-known song ever featured on the show among fans, who have been waiting for years for Enan to release her debut album. Here it finally is.

Rolling Stone Magazine said, “Her forlorn, hyper-romantic lyrics are what you’d expect from a girl who reads Shakespeare”

So new that they don’t even have a Wikipedia page yet, Color of Clouds has been described variously as indie folk and electroacoustic, though for the record I tend toward the former categorization. Color of Clouds is made up of a trio from Brooklyn which consists of singer-songwriter Kelli Scarr (formerly of Salt & Samovar), Dan Chen, former keyboardist for Nicole Atkins & The Sea, and producer Nate Greenberg. All three knew each other from electronic band(now disbanded) Moonraker, and got their start when Chen and Scarr, both recovering from breakups in 2008, decided to turn their loss into music. Greenberg was then recruited to polish and produce their songs. They released a debut E.P. entitled “The Look” in May 2009 which was well-received, with the title track being featured on One Tree Hill. They’ve also been featured on Ugly Betty, Damages and Mercy. Their self-released debut album, Satellite of Love, comes out April 6.

Brother:

Haunts Me(acapella):

“Brother”, a wistful folk gem driven by Scar’s silvery vocals, reminds me oddly of some of Hansard and Irglova’s softer songs, particularly Irglova’s “The Hill”, with its exploration of a relationship riven with guilt and blame and love and loss.  “Haunts Me”, on the other hand, with its religious undertones and electronica-tinged pop, reminds me of State Bird’s  “The Golden Glowing Mask”. The final track, however, the only other one to  be pre-released, has more tinges of folk and country.
