This is a song that has made me cry twice. The first time was when I first heard it. The second...
"Am I bringing you down/when I'm giving you candy/all I want is the best for you tonight"
Burt Bacharach would be proud of this song had he written it. It reminds me a lot of his work.
The Aluminum Group are truly unique in the world of pop music today. With help of Jim O'Rourke among others they've created celestial music.
12 Dec 03 ·musicmars: I agree. The Aluminum Group are incredible and "Chocolates" is their best song. Talk about Sophistipop. The new cd "More Happyness" is a masterpiece. I really thought "Happiness was alright but More is ... definitely MORE. I was lucky enough to see them live last year and they put on a wonderful show. the Navin's have unique music, voices and personalities - very funny, beautiful people. 26 Dec 03 ·tinks: i djed a show with them and parker & lily a while ago...they're really nice guys and have impeccable taste in music. 01 Oct 05 ·eftimihn: Perfect song, really with gorgeous, bittersweet melancholia. From the songwriting to the production and arrangement, this is truly impeccable. 22 Nov 05 ·moondog: yeah, really great song, but i think they completely lost it after the plano cd. I thought "pedals" should be their masterpiece after the promising two first cds but remember how disapointed i was after hearing it.
This track is from Neko Case's first solo effort of the same name.
Case was born in Virginia, raised in Olympia, Washington, and now lives in Chicago.
She did a degree in fine arts at the Emily Carr School of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC. It was in Vancouver that she joined grrll group Maow who recorded two CDs for Mint Records.
After Maow disbanded Case recorded her alt. country album 'the Virginian' also for Mint.
'The Virginian' is an astonishing song from a great solo debut by gifted artist.
beautiful song from a beautiful album,to say this song is perfect is an understatement.only someone without a heart could fail to be moved by this.
from magical world of the strands available on CD - the magical world of the strands (megaphone music)
06 Nov 02 ·modadelic: you.re totally right about michael head. i've always thought the first pale fountains album 'pacific st.' was an excellent summer record that lasts all year and still sounds wonderfull 20 years down the road.
