Magpie and the Dandelion *edited 10/22/13

 

 
















It's nice not having to wait even a year between albums. I've been so excited about this since I heard about it. Especially all the old songs that finally made it on. And the cover art is lovely. I love a birdie!!

 

A list will be hard but it's what I do. Even tho I haven't spent that much time listening yet, I think I can throw something together.

 

1- Morning Song - Number one is always the hardest. And 90% of the time I change my mind. But today, its this one. I've had it bad for this song. And two versions on the same album?? Yes, please and thank you.

 

2- Souls Like The Wheels - I've loved this song for years. But you never hear it. I'm so glad it's finally recorded. Seth's a happy sunny day in my heart and I LOVE this song. LOVE the lyrics. It makes me happy. And smile. I think I smile every time.

3- Bring Your Love To Me - I love every single thing about this song and I just get so excited when Seth sings a song. Any ol song. That pretty voice singing a pretty song like this... cant resist!

 

4- Part From Me - Sad. What's with them? I do love it tho. And *raises hand* I'm in love with you!! *This has quickly become one of my favorites. Love when that happens.

5- Never Been Alive - This is Dakota's favorite and he's wearin it out! :) I love it too. I love the whoa whoa's :) I've listened pretty hard this past week to the lyrics trying to decipher what these songs mean and it's pretty different than their other stuff in my opinion.

6- Skin And Bones - THIS is a sad song. And when Bob said when he hears this song he hears the story of the Avett Brothers??? What? That's a sadness. But dammit if this song isn't amazing.
 

7- Good To You - Even if that was the only lyric in the whole song, my heart just melts when I hear Scott Avett belt out "I wanna be good to you." Lordy.

8- The Clearness Is Gone - This song makes me sad. I love the sound, and he sounds great, but it's sad. But hell I love a good saddy.

 

9- Open-Ended Life - This is one of those songs that makes you think. 

 

10- Vanity - I do love it. I wish none of them were so far down the list, but they gotta go somewhere. I love the lyrics and someone said this reminds them of the Beatles and I agree. Still figuring out what it means in my head tho.

 

11- Another Is Waiting - I like it, I do, and I LOVE the video. But I guess I just connect the least with this song. It sounds great tho. Dakota loves it.

 

All the demos were a great bonus! I love shit like that! I love Magpie! I just hope since we got two so close together that it's not going to be an eternity before we get another. I could definitely go for one every fall :) Now I'm spoiled!
