[WEEKLIES] Let It Be ... Naked


Photo Credit



"The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world."
- Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold


I've been posting this Weeklies series for almost half a year and I know you've all been lapping up all the tracks in every Weeklies post. HOWEVER, it would be 100x times better if you drop your thoughts in the comments section. A couple of words can really make a person's day! (demanding much?) Haha. On topic, this one is inspired by my friend Tzaddi's blog. Check her stuff out when you can.

Another thing why I'm posting consecutive Weeklies posts in 1 week is because next week I'll be, yes you guessed right, FLOORED WITH STUFF TO DO. College really takes it's toll on my sleeping habits, and I can't let go of this blog so I somewhere between all the stuff I've been juggling got sacked from the Dean's List. Damper, yeah. I've never been good in multi-tasking.

This Weeklies features a couple of track that have been highly palatable to my taste. Enjoy and cheers to a good weekend folks.

FEATURE ARTIST: Ray Lamontagne



Ray Lamontage, 36, is one of the few folk singer songwriters around that have a lasting impression on me, along with Cat Stevens, Ani DiFranco and Bob Dylan. The raspiness of his whisper and the warmth that crawls through me every time he sings is fantastic. And his talent stems from the interesting, if I dare say dramatic, life history. He was in fact the son of an abusive musician, so his road towards music didn't come until later on. After hearing a Stephen Stills song, Treetop Flyer, that was then that he decided to quit his job and pursue a career in music. He has since released three records, Trouble, Till The Sun Turns Black, and Gossip in the Grain. A soft-spoken person who is known for his raspy voice, LaMontagne has won a number of awards for his music and has performed at several charity events.

All I can say is that, thank God he did or else we wouldn't have this wonderful soul spread good music all over the world.
