Top 3 Songs of the week #5

Hi,

Click on the song title to have a listen!!

This week I've been loving...
The Furthest Star by Amy Macdonald
Landfill by Daughter
Put me to Work by PAPA

The Furthest Star is an amazing gentle song. Amy Macdonald has an amazing voice. This is simply constructed but with a gorgeous outcome. The lyrics are meaningful and beautiful, paired with the acoustic guitar, keyboard and strings is just gorgeous! There are far out spacey sounds all the way through which adds to the sense of being trapped which is given throughout the track. The way Amy drifts her voice to less and less while still sounding full is amazing! This song is definitely not to be missed!!

Landfill starts with drum beats that sound like a walk to an execution. The guitar chords add to this sense of dread. The first part of the first chorus is sung without music. This makes daughter's amazing talent stand out with every word sung and every breath took. Her breathy, high pitched vocals really add something special to the drum beats and guitar chords. The lyrics and music can mean something to everyone, which is the mark of a truly talented songwriter! This girl is unbelievably talented and creative, do not leave this site without listening to her!!!

Put me to work gets straight into the upbeat fast tempo beats and electric guitar sounds. Which sounds amazing paired with the nasal, closed jaw sounds of the vocalist. The bassy electric guitar sounds and piano melody between verses make this song really memorable! The crashing symbols sound hard and raw with the guitar. The heavy bass notes play all the way through and add another level to this track. The vocals are reserved but placed with the crazy, dramatic backing music add something that wouldn't be there otherwise. More amazing guys that should not be missed here!!
