Other Mixes By sophie.luscombe
For Emily, Wherever She May Be
| Artist | Song | |
| Xavier Rudd | Timber and Wood | |
| from Live At The Grid (2002) This song is just amazing. Xavier is an amazing musician. This song in particular just stuns me. It always brings me back to earth. | ||
| Ethelred | Never Shall We Die | |
| from Oh Fie! Oh My! (2002) This is a local (Toowoomba) band, who I love. The vocals are beautiful. This song is oddly melancholy, lyrically, while being melodically and harmoniously, quite upbeat. It's lovely. | ||
| Jinja Safari | Peter Pan | |
| from Jinja Safari - EP (2010) I can't quite wrap my head around this song. It's an ode to life, as it is, I think. He doesn't want things to change... This is the life he wants to be remembered as living. | ||
| Ben Lee | Kids | |
| from Uncovered 2 (2010) I love this song, in it's original form (by MGMT). But this cover is so touching. Ben Lee has a strange voice in that it's so open. You feel as though he is singing for you and only you. He's so intimate. | ||
| Sailormouth | 1988 | |
| from Sailormouth (2011) Another Toowoomba band. This song is - from what I can gather - about the changes in society and how our generations are losing the tradition and the history. It's a sad concept... | ||
| Laura Marling | My Manic And I | |
| from Alas, I Cannot Swim (2008) This song gives me shivers. Laura Marling has a gorgeous voice. This song haunts me. | ||
| Noah and the Whale | Our Window | |
| from Mixtape of Great Tunes Vol 2 (2008) Vocally, this song is magnificent. Instrumentally, this song is magnificent. It makes me cry, every time. Something about it hurts me. I love it. | ||
| Anya Marina | Whatever You Like | |
| from Uncovered 2 (2010) Another cover. I usually can't stand this song, but Anya makes is far more... personal. Her voice is so beautiful. I could listen to it for hours on end. | ||
| Two Door Cinema Club | Undercover Martyn | |
| from Tourist History (2010) This song makes me dance; that's why I love it. I love the drums and the guitar, especially. | ||
| A.R. Rahman Feat. Palakkad Sriram & Madhumitha | Liquid Dance | |
| from Slumdog Millionaire (2008) I really love the pace of this song and I love that it's foreign. It's such a different sound, but I feel as though it fits in perfectly with the other songs. | ||
| James Brown | Get Up Offa That Thing | |
| from Manu's Albums (2008) No words can describe my love for this song. It makes me want to dance and sing and swing. | ||
| CAKE | Short Skirt / Long Jacket | |
| from Rock Evolution 2 (2009) One of my favourite rock classics. It's simple and it's fantastic. | ||
| Nouvelle Vague | Ever Fall In Love | |
| from Manu's Albums (2009) This song was covered in the Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging soundtrack. I didn't care for it much. The twangy guitar in the Nouvelle Vague version sets it off for me. I think it completes the song. | ||
| Hopney Moffett | Viva | |
| from I'm Just So Excited About Myself (2009) I don't know much about this band, except that my friend is friends with a person from the band. This song's message is clear and simple.'Long live the revolution, long live the victory of love, long live love forever more' The vocals are twangy and strong. I love it. | ||
| Lisa Mitchell | Romeo And Juliet | |
| from Uncovered 2 (2010) I don't normally like Lisa Mitchell, but her cover of this Dire Straights song is amazing. She is so real and passionate when she sings it. | ||
| Ben Harper | Glory & Consequence | |
| from The Will To Live (1997) Ben Harper will always be a love of mine. The bluesy-folk sound is amazing and he is just a beautiful human being. Possibly one of my favourite artists. His rusty voice is to die for. | ||
| Dappled Cities | More Than A Woman | |
| from Manu's Albums (1997) I'm not really sure what I think of this song. But it sounds nice and I love the opening. The falsetto's and high notes send shivers up my spine. | ||
| MGMT | The Youth | |
| from Oracular Spectacular (2007) This song makes me cry for our society. "The youth is starting to change, are you starting to change?" | ||
| Modest Mouse | Little Motel | |
| from We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (2007) Another song that makes me cry. Modest Mouse is amazing. They are such an under appreciated band. This is definitely my favourite of their songs. | ||
| Eels | Theme For A Pretty Girl That Makes You Believe God Exists | |
| from blinking lights and other revelations (2005) This song, an instrumental, is a beautiful closing song. It makes me think of lost love, sitting on the edge of a pier with my feet dangling in the water, or on the side of a lagoon, contemplating who I am and what I want to make of myself. It's so beautiful. | ||
