New Music Friday
Apr. 27th, 2019 02:14 amThis week has been a mess. We're launching new code tomorrow and I have to be at the office on a Saturday at 11:30am with no clear quitting time for the day. Hopefully sometimes before dinner. I'm also hoping they provide lunch or something, but there's been no clear word on anything other than come work all week. Ugh. We've also been dog-sitting for a friend's three dogs in addition to our own two and it's been a whole lot. One of them is less than a year and while she's adorable, she has no bladder control and I feel like I have to be on constant alert for her. It's work.
This has been a good week for music though and I've found some new stuff that I've been obsessed with.
First up is this absolutely heart-wrecking song by Finneas that came out two weeks ago. I have been listening to it nonstop all week and while it destroys me emotionally, it's beautiful and I love it so much. It also gave me a good revelation about a story I've been working on, which has been really useful.
Next is this really lovely cover of an old Heart song, "Listen to Your Heart". I've never heard of Roxette before, but her kind of soft, breathy vocals really serve up a lovely rendition of this song.
Last, let me share this really wonderful cover of "Jenny of Oldstones" from Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones (not really a spoiler of any kind). This cover is by Ginny Di, a popular Critical Role Jester cosplayer. She's got a lovely voice and while she's no Florence Welsh, her video definitely still does the song justice.
A couple of other quick song links, in case you need a few more things to listen to:

- Sierra Eagleson - Redbone I know this is a popular Childish Gambino song to cover, but I really love Sierra's voice on this
- Sierra Eagleson - Darcy's Song An original recorded with her brother, Chase (whom I've shared on his own before)
- Kevin McHale - Help Me Now A really cute video from this dude from Glee
- Bear McCreary - Godzilla (feat. Serj Tankian) I mean, the title says it all and it's great
- Aly & AJ - Don't Go Changing I can't wait for their next album to drop, everything they've put out so far has been really good
