The Swell Season

(The intro is in French but the lyrics are English)

I love all kinds of music, but if I had to choose only one style of music to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be just like that of The Swell Season. Its mellow and beautiful, and a piano gets me every time. I first saw this duo on the movie Once, which is the only movie in my lifetime I have ever watched for the first time and third time in the same night. It was just so good. This latest album, Strict Joy, has been in constant rotation in my car and on my iPod. I want to share with you one of my favorite tracks from Strict Joy.

I'm posting this today because not only have I been listening to this song constantly for the last week, but also because these two played last night at the Ryman in Nashville. Because we have a crazy busy week and are going to Nashville on Friday, we weren't able to go hear them. So to make myself feel better I decided to devote today's post to them and their lovely music. Please enjoy. Then go support The Swell Season!
