When he’s not singing with Memphis May Fire, Matty Mullins is singing with one of my favorite bands, Anberlin. So when this dropped last week, it hit various Anberlin groups I’m part of. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since then. (much to the consternation of others in my household, I’m sure)

If you don’t spend the rest of the day (or possibly a couple of days) humming/singing this tune, if not rewatching it to sing along, I’ve misjudged you.
True story, I had to rewatch it after typing that. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this now.

This is a fun little song that Washington Poe introduced me to while reading The Killer’s Mark.

I may have soured on the new books, but I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Lee Child’s creation (and am having fun with the TV version). Gotta love this song (the first few and last seconds of the video are particularly nice):

I’m still in shock over Glen Hansard’s death last week, it’s not often that a celebrity’s/public person’s death lingers for me–I’m mean, I’m bothered when I hear of anyone dying–but it’s not like I know them or anything. But Hansard’s music–particularly that which he recorded with The Swell Season–has been huge in my life (and earlier, I learned after watching Once and finding out he’d been in The Committments. I saw The Swell Season live once–and midway through that show, I saw the greatest live performance of my life. It was a year and a half before the concert video shown below, but it’s basically the same thing (although he unplugged earlier when we saw it). The rest of the band left the stage, Hansard unplugged the guitar and stepped away from the mic. Then he talked a little and sang this. Just one voice and a guitar in the middle of a hushed theater.
Still gives me chills, and like I told a friend recently–I’m going to remember it when I’m 87. (seriously, track me down and ask me about it in a few decades)
It’s better live, but this is a decent substitute.
