Current Top Music 4 (repost)

I'm just splitting up that first post because it takes too long to load it when I look through the blog.

All I Want - Joni Mitchell

Most young people should remember the Counting Crows' version of Big Yellow Taxi featuring Vanessa Carlton. (remember her? from A Thousand Miles and White Houses? No? Well maybe you should click the links so you can hear those songs and understand where I'm coming from... Kapeesh? Kapeesh.) Ok, so anyways, that was a cover of Joni Mitchell, I found out. I looked it up, and found this video of this quirky girl singing and needed more.

I want to be her friend.

Come Around - Marc Broussard

Sorry, I couldn't find a video with the studio version, but this is the best live performance I could find quickly. Anyways, Marc Broussard is so soulful, I feel my soul blow up like a balloon when I listen to him. I want to just walk around and talk in that raspy deep voice for the rest of my days.

To make up for the lack of a studio version, I'm linking to another one of his songs, Hope For Me Yet.
Edit: the studio version for that was taken down too... dammit...

Troubles Will Be Gone - The Tallest Man on Earth

Another track of which I don't know it's origin in my life. I love the oldy-feel to this music. Here's another one of their tracks, Burden of Tomorrow.

Run - Benton Paul

This was the free single of the week on iTunes sometime in the past. It became one of the top played songs in my collection. 'nuff said.

Here's another song by him, my favorite part is at 1:00, in case you were wondering.

Moon - Benton Paul

Sun of a Gun (Jacob Plant Remix) - Oh Land (Original)

I found this recently in a video I found on YouTube by Frontstepgames : 11 Songs You Wish You Found - Best Music August 2011. They post a lot of good songs on their channel, which I like.

Ok, so there's my first music post! Tell me what you think in the comments about the layout and stuff (this was a long post, sorry if it takes too long to load). Feel free to send me suggestions for songs. It would be nice if this blog was a two way street; I show you my music, you show me yours kind of thing.

Thanks for listening!
