Griffin House - The Guy That Says Goodbye To You Is Out Of His Mind


This is a feel good tune that should be dedicated to all the girls of the world.  If only we all had a little sweetie like Griffin to tell us how special we are.  I guess while we're waiting for Mr. Right or our Knight in Shining Armour to sweep us off our feet, we'll have to settle for this song on repeat.

Barefoot Truth - All Good Reasons


"Mixing the sounds of folk, rock, jazz, and reggae, with lyrics full of unbridled optimism, the band has crafted a sound that is distinctly Barefoot Truth."  This is exactly why we have a thing for them!  They are on tour and if they're in your area, we encourage you to check them out!

Switchfoot - Your Love Is A Song


They first gained recognition as their music was included on the Movie Soundtrack for A Walk To Remember.  Since then, their seventh studio album Hello Hurricane received a Grammy award in 2011 for Best Rock Gospel Album.  We interests us, is how they got their name.  According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music."

The Perry Band - If I Die Young


This song has almost reached it's 30 millionth view!  It's pretty well known, but we thought that it would be a good one to share today! This catchy tune has reached number one on the Hot Country Songs charts and has been certified platinum.

A lyric to make you think "funny how you're dead, people start to listen".  That's one to ponder.

Today we share a cover favourite shared to us by a friend. Share you're favourites at songs.from.us.to.you@gmail.com.

Sam Tsui & Christina Grimmie - Just A Dream Cover


This cover brings more to the song than the original (by Nelly).  Their voices are so complimentary that you wonder how there could ever be a more perfect match.  Sam Tsui has started working on some original pieces, so we are holding our breath for when he releases those.

Give Me Heart - Susie Suh


Just listen. Susie Suh's voice is beautiful, and we fell in love with it as soon as we heard it.  She started singing in 2005 and since then has wowed us with her music.  Influenced by artists like Joni Mitchell and Beth Gibbons, Susie has definitely made a name for herself.  Take five minutes out of your day and just listen, it isn't hard to do.

Ben Gibbard - When The Sun Goes Down


This is a nice little track.  Recently featured in the new movie Arthur, Ben Gibbard (lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie and Postal Service) has a few new surprises for us.  This is one that caught our attention!

Here's our favourite tracks from his other bands.  He's one talented guy!



We also have some sad news, we're going away for the weekend, us Canadians get to enjoy a long one, so with limited internet access, we can't promise to post everyday.  We'll see you soon!

Sometimes - Miami Horror


Miami Horror is a little change of pace from our day to day favourites, but its upbeat tempo has had us dancing in our seats since we started listening!  Benjamin Plant, the producer of this group, has provided us with many hours spent listening and learning about a style we are just beginning to love.  We hope this starts your journey into a world of favourites you didn't know were there!

Justin Robinett & Michael Henry - Airplanes Brick By Burning Brick


The harmonies swirl around each other and wrap us up in their sound.  If you have a chance, check out the other covers that they have done (we suggest Hallelujah, Fireflies, and Half Of My Heart).  They are absolutely fantastic and give the head-lining artists a run for their money.

Who does it better?

The Jezabels - A Little Piece



The Jezabels are a mix of everything we love.  They have so many different sounds and levels and you can't help but lose yourself in their sound when listening.  They are self described as "intensindie" and we feel that this genre fits them perfectly because they are unique and can't be labelled as anything else.  We hope their special sound catches your ear.

Anna Scouten - First Day Of My Life (Bright Eyes Cover)


There is not a lot to say about this talented artist, because we hope you feel it for yourself.  She has one of the purest voices we have ever heard.  This week we have been addicted to her videos! We've watched so many! I bet you'll fall in love with her too!

Stereophonics - Bright Red Star


Today's favourite is one from Wales.  Stereophonics are a Welsh band that was formed in 1992.  They've been around for awhile and we wish we had found them before now!  The acoustics are beautiful, and the voice of lead singer Kelly Jones is real.  We hope that Stereophonics make their way onto your playlist today and that you become as attached as we are.

Explosions In The Sky - Be Comfortable, Creature


This is one of the newest pieces by Explosions In The Sky which is one that fits nicely with their already popular songs like "Your Hand In Mine".  This acoustic group, based out of Austin Texas, has recently released their newest album "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care" and it has been four years since their last release.  Much of their work has been featured on the TV series Friday Night Lights, so their style might sound familiar.

Gemma Hayes - Oliver


Gemma Hayes, an Irish singer and songwriter, has captured us with her light and honest voice.  In this song she sings of heartbreak and hiding it.  She covers it up but admits to it changing her.  The honesty behind it makes this song one that almost everyone can relate to.  Lucky for us Gemma's next album is being released at the end of this month!  We know it's at the top of the list for our next iTunes purchase, maybe it's on your list too.

Thao & Mirah - Hallelujah


This song is brought to you by two very talented artists who have recently joined together to produce an album.  Separately, each has crafted a distinct identity: Mirah's songs are intimate yet robustly produced folk songs built around her breathy, mercurial voice. Thao's approach is more rollicking: She wails and warbles with raw energy and plays guitar with loose but impeccable chops. Together, they complement each other perfectly. We hope you love it.

The Decemberists - Sons and Daughters



With their newest album released just this year, the Decemberists are a band you should be excited about!  They have a wide range of musical influences, but they are unique in that they pull on English and Irish folk music to give their songs a special touch.  The band is made up of 5 members led by Colin Meloy who sings and writes their music.  We hope today's favourite sits right with you.

Tyrone Wells - Sink or Swim


This is a favourite some of you may know from some of your favourite TV shows.  We came upon this track a long time ago and couldn't find it again until recently, but now that we've found it again we are so excited to share it with you!! Tyrone Wells is from Washington, USA and has made quite a name for himself throughout University and College campuses in the States, setting a record in 2006 for most campus performances.  This favourite draws you in from start to finish and leaves you singing it long after the music has stopped.

The Weepies -  Somebody Loved




Lots of our favourites are by the Weepies, but today we picked this one because we hope extra today that you feel loved!  The band is made up of a husband and wife, and knowing this makes their songs a little more personal.  They aren't singing about a maybe person, they are singing about the here and now.  Today we want to say thank you for making us feel like somebody loved.

Avalanche City - Love Love Love


This song was shared with us by someone who's got quite the knack for finding good songs.  Thanks for this keeper!  This adorable track is accompanied by an equally cute video.  We hope that this song gets caught on repeat for you because we simply can't express how much we love it.  Avalanche City's album was available for a free download on their website, but because they have become increasingly more popular, it is now available on iTunes for purchase.  We hope this band of New Zealand natives can add a little Love Love Love to your life.
