One of the best parts of life is finding things that are obscured from mainstream life. Like finding a movie or a TV show that is special. But even better is a song. Music that takes you away for a moment is better than almost anything. Whats better than when you hear the first 2 bars of a song and you suddenly feel “cool”. Here are 8 songs that to me, Blake, make life better.
1. Olsen Olsen-Sigur Ros. You won’t understand the lyrics but you will feel them as a part of the music.
2. I believe in you- Talk Talk. This is just a great song . Very smooth.
3. Nick Drake- Mogwai. My first intro to trip-hop and the best song from a great band.
4. No Cars Go- Arcade Fire. The best version, by far, is off Neon Bible. This is their best song.
5. Grace under pressure-Elbow. One of the best drum track’s ever.
6. Svefn-g-englar- Sigur Ros. Just listen again you won’t understand the lyrics.
7. The Funeral- Band of Horses. I wish this band could get “found” great songs even better sound.
8. Mad as Snow-Kitchens of Distention. Great band that never had a chance. Interpol inspired by them.
Feel free to add.

Blake,
Music makes me happy. The music you like is one of the things that I love about you. My music tastes are definitely more sophisticated because of you. Which in turn makes me more cool! (right?)
love,

Oh man. I love Nick Drake. One of my favorites. I love most of what you listed, and what I don't know, I am going to go find right now and have a listen. 2 thumbs way up.
