Got beef? I like it raw

My dear friend, Gette, and I were recently cruising around with his car. Usually, I fight for the Ipod in the car, begging him to be DjClaudia-on-the-cut. He hates it, because I get so predictable with my music choice, and there is nothing really refreshing. If I don't win over the Ipod, I actually learn about new music. Sometimes it's a gift, and sometimes it just hurts my ears. But this time around there was no Ipod involved. He had just bought a new cd, by Mumford & Sons. I was expecting another "fantastic" drum and base or trance marathon about to happen. But this time around, I was pleasantly surprised!

The British band took our breath away with number 5 on their album (Sigh No More), which is called White Blank Page.




The volume was on full blast, both of us turned quiet and were flabbergasted by the beauty of the song. We must have played it like about 3 times in a row. We could barely vocalize our feelings about this song because we were so at loss of words. I actually had tears develop, but didn't dare to let them run down my cheeks. Crazy what a song can do!

The rawness of the guitar work, the vocals and the lads themselves adds such a pure, and honest touch, which really brings out the meaning of the song. The well rounded mix of instruments makes it an enjoyable modern folk rock interpretation, that I would guess most of us like, or at least remember...

Now, every time I ask to put on track 5, he knows exactly what song I mean! The rest of the album is also really amazing, by the way.

Hope you enjoy it as well!
