I've had the thought of posting these songs since the first time I heard them. I'm sure I've mentioned them but haven't yet given them the spotlighted they deserve.
Seriously, these songs do something to me each time I hear them. Each and every time. Part of it is that feeling you get when you first hear a song and it changes your life. I seriously get that feeling each. and. ever. time. And the other part is something I have yet to figure out. It sort of breaks me and puts me back together, whatever it is.
Andrew McMahon kills me every time he opens his mouth and sings. I could literally listen to him sing the phone book and would actually pay money for it.
Yeah, he's a ninja. Or a Jedi Knight. Just of music.
And Awesomeness.
"Restless Dream"
"Casting Lines"
I, also, love the fact that "Casting Lines"was written as a writing assignment to be the theme song for 'Parenthood'. Damn Bob Dylan! I love hearing "Forever Young" every time I watch 'Parenthood' but "Casting Lines" would have worked just as well. Different feel but just as good. Of course, I'd rather listen to Andrew over Bob any day. I know, blasphemy to some but it's a truth to me.
For those of you who have checked out People & Things but maybe haven't checked out the Deluxe version you need to! Even if it's just for these two songs...
iTunes Deluxe songs I LOVE from People & Things:
"Broken Bird"
"Dancing With a Gun"
