Fleet Foxes.

These are perfect for the morning. Indie folk band, fleet foxes, are now quite popular so you would of probaly seen them on sale in hmv. Check out...

Ragged Wood, its one of my favourite tracks by them.

Tell me anything you want,
Any old lie will do
Call me back to you
Back to youuuuuu...

Sort of

like a dream.

I listened to these alot over summer, theyre dead chilled out, really dreamy with simple lyrics that send you away into your own little world. Swedish group, Air France.

This is my favourite song:


Collapsing at your doorstep
Sorta like a dream?...no better...
Sorta like a dream?...Isn't it?...no

Other songs by Air France that i like are:

No excuses

Windmill wedding

Karibien

A band that captures any emotion in you and escapes into the music, rather than build up inside you.

Feel free to add any songs you like in comments.

For sad times like these.. Only this song can describe this feeling inside.

"There is no place I can go, there is no place I can hide, it feels like it keeps coming from the inside. There is a hate that burns within, the most desperate place I have ever been, try to get back to where I'm from, the closer I get the worse it becomes."
