Music to my ear

If you know me to an extent, you must know that music is a big part of who I am. Today more than ever I believe that music is the score of our life. Personally, it is my timeline. If you ask me about important events in my life, my memory will awaken much easier if you tell me what music played during that period. My early radio days in the mid 70's introduced me to the thrills of orchestrated sounds; most notably Peter Framton's ground breaking live track "Do You Feel Like I Do". From then, I was hooked to the sounds, the feel, the vibration in my body, the bursts of emotions in my heart and the images in my head produced by the magic of music. Way before MTV revolutionized the music video industry, I visualized every song as a short movie and my imagination had an unlimited budget. Still, 35 years later, music still moves me and shakes me up. As old melodies bring great images of what was once, new ones reverberate as strongly to bring up emotions and passions either from the past or from some unknown conscious root.

A month or so ago, I was touched in that way and shared my discovery of Brandi Carlile with you (remember that GM commercial). Today I offer you another great find: Caroline Polacheck, lead singer of Chairlift, a young indie-pop band from Brooklyn, New York. Their instant mainstream exposure is the new sound of the latest iPod Nano commercial which gives us only 15 seconds of Caroline's brilliant voice in the song "Bruises". Feel free to hear the full version right here. Enjoy...
