Sorry I haven't written one of these in so long (not that anyone reads them anyway, haha). I've been so busy balancing coursework, school and an attempted social life! However, as the sun is, and has been, out in bloom for the past few days it got me thinking about songs that you can really just lay out in the sun, listen to, and relax.
Since the release of Burberry's acoustic playlist a few months ago I've been attempting to get through the mountains of musical, 'gold' (sorry, it's such a cliché) they've collected as there are literally so many videos it could keep you occupied for hours. They're visually captivating, too because the scenes in some of the recordings are beautiful. The quintessentially British, laid back covers are perfect for sunny days and so I thought I'd pick out and share with you a few of my favourites.
If you know me you'll know that I absolutely adore Sam Beeton and to me, this man can do no wrong. What he has done, though, that is extremely 'right' on so many levels, is produce some new material for us to listen to. One of his new projects is called 'My Doll' and he covered this for Burberry acoustic. This song literally sends chills down my spine it is absolutely perfect. It's slow, and not too musically intense, it allows you to focus on the lyrics which have so much meaning. He's often referred to as being similar to Paolo Nutini, but he's a bit more, raw.
The second song which I feel is more than suitably apt for the English summer is 'Alleyway' by Life in Film. This four piece 'top button fastened' group do fit all of the tragically indie stereotypes that we all get so bored of, but they have something new. This song seems pretty effortless, it's catchy, typically British, and aesthetically pleasing.
The last song that I've picked out for you to listen to is 'Remember' by Misty Miller. She's an angelically beautiful 16 year old, and her age makes her talent even more remarkable. Her voice is fitting of her beauty and the uke that she uses adds another sweet, and innocent tone to her music, which takes you back to her childhood days. Everything about it is pretty, blissful.
