The Artist: Cathedral Birds - "4 Songs about love and disaster in the year ..."

4 Songs About Love And Disaster In The Year Of The Horse

An uplifting ballad from Sheffield narrative songwriting duo Cathedral Birds. The year of the horse was one of the coldest on record. We were sixteen. Our parents divorced. It was many years ago. It still resonates as middle aged men. It was the year of discovery. The year of experiment. The year of not knowing which way to go. We took walks on the moors. Saw a buzzard for the first time. Watched it disappear into the heavens. We wrote this song during lockdown. Sent the lyrics back and forth and exchanged idea's. It still gives us chills.

Das war die "Ausgangsinformation", klingt doch interessant, oder nicht? Was kann man sich erwarten? Wie schon beim Vorgänger, das Songwriting wird großgeschrieben wie auch die Arrangements der Instrumentierung. Erlesene Klänge passend zur Stimmung der einzelnen Tracks werden frei Haus geliefert. Alle 4 Songs auf der EP "4 Songs about Love and Disaster in the year of the horse" stehen für bzw. zeigen das Liedermacher-Talent sowie auch die Begabung Songs zu arrangieren respektive zu produzieren. Gut gemacht und definitiv Wert einmal reinzuhören, mein persönlicher Anspieltipp: "Save in the fire", Cathedral Birds und ihre neue EP, now available.

#listenNOW! Riverwoods - "Vagabond"

A song that speaks to the nomadic spirit within us, reminding us that we are all travellers on the road of life. Despite the challenges and obstacles, 'Vagabond' encourages us to embrace the journey and find strength in our vagabond identity. It's all about resistance and perseverance, expressing the deep emotional pain that can be experienced, but also emphasising the importance of moving forward and leaving the past behind. Musically, the sound design is good and varied, and the vocals, which have a bit of Nordic and Celtic flair, are completely convincing.

#ListenNOW! "Zu Hause" by TEYNA

Mit „Zu Hause“ liefert TEYNA Akustik-Pop, der sich sanft an unsere Seelen schmiegt und uns verzaubert. Sie verwandelt die Sehnsucht nach einem Hafen der Ruhe in magische Noten. In einer hektischen Welt thematisiert sie Zweisamkeit und stille Momente. Ihre stimmliche Performance transportiert Emotionen meisterhaft und wird durch das Arrangement perfekt untermalt. Die Percussions setzen dabei gekonnt Akzente. Das Gesamtbild bleibt zurückhaltend und harmonisch, aber mit der Erlaubnis, die Grenzen der Zurückhaltung zu überschreiten. So verschmelzen Instrumental und Gesang zu einer wunderbaren Einheit und machen „Zu Hause“ zu einem perfekten Begleiter auf der Suche nach diesem magischen Ort.

#ListenNOW 'AREA CODE' by ARPRAXIS

The beats per minute increase and the nostalgic flair that hovers over the track is constantly pushed to its limits. You are practically involved in a chase that accelerates at breakneck speed. With 'AREA CODE' ARPRAXIS is, as always, in the fast lane and pushing the boundaries. No limit - full fun" seems to be the motto. Unbridled energy that cannot be tamed, in the form of notes, drives the listener forward. ARPRAXIS is the driver, 'AREA CODE' the vehicle. Another great surprise from ARPRAXIS.

#ListenNOW! ‘One Last Kiss’ by Me & Melancholy

In the past, Me & Melancholy focused more on societal themes, whereas with ‘One Last Kiss,‘ he is taking a new direction. Both lyrically and musically, Peter Ehrling presents himself as more open, personal, and accessible, showing a greater affinity for pop. The night is over, the day is dawning, and with it comes a new chapter. Although ‘One Last Kiss‘ maintains a recurring connection to the past, it simultaneously keeps a certain distance, allowing for a reinterpretation of the past. Peter moves almost weightlessly across the floor, stepping out of the shadows, and presents an outstanding synth-pop song with ‘One Last Kiss.‘
