Musings

I quite often go for a long while without listening to this band…and then when I’ve almost forgotten about them, one of their tracks will pop up on my iPod that’s exactly reflective of how I’m feeling at the time or something I’m going through as though by some kind of intervention.

Lifehouse – Trying

The first time I heard them was, I think, on Roswell High back when it wasn’t cool enough to drop the ‘High’ – it was the track ‘Everything’, and Jason Wade’s voice just drew me in…

Pensive, harmonious, heartfelt – all words that would describe every one of their tracks. You can reach many of them from the band’s main last.fm page and their newer material is up on their MySpace.
