"Every angel falls" and "On the moonlit sands" by Ben Holland.

Ladies and Gents -
   Two new songs by Ben Holland - "Every angel falls" and "On the moonlit sands".
    What we got this time? The same as always, when we are talking about songs by Ben Holland. Great lyrics, sounds and his voice  full of emotions. Something what will stay in our minds for longer than two or three minutes. Something between words and rhythms - the soul. Pure perfection. Pure magic.
     In my opinion "Every angel falls" and "On the moonlit sands" are epic and if the rest of his upcoming album, "Every angel falls", will sounds like these two, I can say only one thing: people be ready for a masterpiece.
     You can listen to them here: https://benholland.bandcamp.com/album/every-angel-falls .
     And don't forget - show him some love and share his music with your friends and/or with the whole World. Tell the whole World about these two wonderful songs and of course about Ben Holland.

Looking forward to working with different artists and producers from all over the world. I️ took a leap coming to Berlin and like I’ve learned the universe(al) 😂 will catch you if you follow your heart!

Thank you everyone I’ve been working with.
I’m so Grateful and excited!

            Congratulations Mr Aaron Pfeiffer!

Do you remember my words about him? Last year I wrote about him: pure perfection. And I said: remember his name! I told you that sooner or later his name will be huge. And his artistic work too. That day has come.


[If you want to read this post about Aaron Pfeiffer, you can find it here].

Artist of the day : Brian Matthew Hadsell

Brian Matthew Hadsell is a singer, songwriter and musician from Los Angeles [US].
You can find more information about him on his official FB, Twitter, YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, bandcamp, SoundCloud, Tumblr.




Why I chose Brian Matthew Hadsell as today's artist of the day?

      Of course because of his music. As you all know, it's always great to hear something new and something with soul and heart. And here we have exactly everything what you need to enjoy the moment - good voice, great sounds, amazing lyrics. And pure soul of the music. Yes. Every song has something what gives you some kind of magic, pure joy and calm. Pure perfection? Probably yes.
      Before I started writing this post, I listened to his songs two days. And you know what? I always wanted more and more, no matter if it was a morning, noon, early evening or late night. Maybe because of easy and simple sounds and his voice these songs are epic. They are something what will stay in our minds for longer than two or three minutes. Because what's more better or more beautiful than pure joy of the music you are listening? Nothing. Really nothing.
     When you are listening to Brian Matthew Hadsell, there's something what gives you a piece of good, real music full of emotions, words and amazing sounds, and that's really great. Why? Because it's really great when you are able to feel the music, every second of the song, every word. When you can close your eyes and swim through the music. 
      I wrote it so many times but I will write it one more time - this kind of music, easy and simple, is one of the best, because you can get to know the artist and his talent. And he has it. He has a huge talent. 
     If you like or love such a kind of music, an acoustic music, his work is for you. I'm pretty sure you will fell in love not only with his amazing voice, but also with every song, because his music is giving a wonderful climate. You will find your own world in his music.
    To be honest I can't wait for more music by Brian Matthew Hadsell because we need more real music nowadays. And I'm sure it will be something good as previous songs and I'm sure he will surprise not only me, but the whole World with his next songs and huge talent. And of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Brian Matthew Hadsell and his future.
      Quick note: If you didn't know his earlier - better remember the name: Brian Matthew Hadsell. If you knew Brian earlier - high five! - you're awesome!  

     And remember, if you like these songs, show him some love and share his music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about these awesome songs and of course about Brian Matthew Hadsell.
     Now it's really your turn. Go and listen to all these amazing songs.

Ben Holland : Dead Leaves

 

Ben Holland is a singer and songwriter from London [UK]. He released five albums: Lethal Love of Mine, Bits & Bob, South on East Street, In use day & night, Live Here & There.

You can find more information about Ben Holland on his FB page, Twitter, Instagram, Bandcamp, iTunes.

 

Ben Holland is a talented musician. That's a fact. His songs are always something amazing with great sounds and wonderful lyrics. That's a fact. But today I would like to say a few words about his newest song -  Dead Leaves.

If you like folk or an acoustic music with amazing lyrics and amazing voice of the singer, I think, you have found the right song. Ladies and Gents, let me introduce you Dead Leaves by Ben Holland.

 

In my opinion Dead Leaves is a perfect song for only for the autumn, but for every day when you want to listen to something real, something good, something breathtaking. Yes, this song is breathtaking from the first to the last second not only because of wonderful lyrics and ideal music, but also because of his voice and that special mood between the lines and sounds. This song is unique.

They talked for hours till the moon rose
Then in the twilight they both began to cry
Then all went quiet in the station
And the dead leaves danced across the sky

lines from Dead Leaves 

If you will read the whole lyrics you will see a beautiful story. You can cry, you can admire, you can to be sad, you can feel bad or good. You can imagine every word, every fragment. Yes, listening to this song you can feel a lot of emotions and you can see every line, every verse as the fragment of the story or as one small story. That's amazing.

See the man standing on the platform
On his way back home from a war
He sees her there through the smoke of his breath
Sees her standing alone in the door

She was just a girl maybe seventeen
Shivering in the winter cold
With hair like the leaves that blew around her feet
Auburn dipped in gold

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

He cupped his hand around her cigarette
She smiled and bowed her head
'Are you waiting for a train or for someone?'
She sighed 'My someone's dead'

They talked for hours till his train came
They kiss and then they part
He dreamed as the tracks took him homeward
And listened to the beat of his heart

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

His wife came and met him at the station
Five long years he'd been away
She told him how their children both had grown
Neither had very much to say

They walked alone by the river
She was scared to hold his hand
He'd already seen what she tried to hide
She'd sold her golden wedding band

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

He told her that she was looking older
She told him 'Well that's what time will do'
'Every day's been a battle since you've been away'
He said 'I've had my battles too'

His children they met him in the hallway
A soldier and a stranger in their home
She said 'I thought our Daddy was a baker'
The only man they'd ever known

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

'My dear, five years is a long time
I did some things I didn't want to do
But please don't hate me for surviving
Our children needed clothing and food'

He flew into a rage and left them shaking
He ran back and boarded the train
With that young girl he'd left at the station
And hot blood pounding in his brain

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

The train took him back to that station
He stood where he'd stood years before
And through the smoke of his cigarette
Again, he saw her standing in the door

Now just a little older than seventeen
Still shivering in the winter cold
With hair like the leaves that blew around her feet
Silver where once was gold

They talked for hours till the moon rose
Then in the twilight they both began to cry
Then all went quiet in the station
And the dead leaves danced across the sky

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now. 

 

In my opinion this song is a piece of real and good, so good music. It's important to feel the music, you know - magic inside the words and sounds. And guess what - Dead Leaves has everything what makes the song perfect. It's something between Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne, such a great mix of them. To be honest, Dead Leaves makes something that you want to listen to this song non-stop and you always want more and more. When you are listening to Dead Leaves, you have only one thought in your mind: damn, this is it! this is it!. 

I have to tell you, I have been listening to this song so many times and I still don't enough. I think I am addicted to this song. And I am proud of it.

Jessie Ware - Gdańsk.

    Ladies and Gents, the Legend came to Poland again... and made one of the best show of this year. Of course this is my opinion, but I'm sure that people who were there will say the same. Gdańsk was Her.

    So who was the Lucky Devil and got the ticket before were too late?  I can say one thing: if you were there - high five!, you had a great evening; these who missed this show - regret as hell.

    One word to describe this show? Damn, it would be hard to do even with the whole dictionary. In two words it could be: indescribable magic.
    Minimalism, wonderful performance, amazing voice, remarkable songs. Epic show.

Setlist was really good and full of well known songs. Of course you can say "oh, but I wanted to hear this or that song". Sure, she recorded a lot great songs so you know, it's impossible to get everything. At least 16 songs is something great. Especially in 60 minutes.

setlist

Night Light
No to Love
Running
Tough Love
Want Your Feeling
Devotion
110%
Kind of…Sometimes…Maybe
Sweet Talk
That's All I Want From You [Nina Simone cover]
Selfish Love [live premiere]
Champagne Kisses
Wildest Moments
Say You Love Me
True Believers 

    In my opinion she was, she is and she will be a real Diva. She still has a great voice, her music is a good thing and she's not like the other "music stars". Sure, she's not a "dancer" on the stage, but she's a real artist who sings for real and that's the most important.
     Sure there were a few minuses but that's not important if we're talking about the whole show and atmosphere. That special atmosphere...

     I was there and I had a great time. And to be honest, if there would be such possibility, I would go to her concert one more time. And one more time. And one more time.


    Ok, as always I have some photos and video for you from the show. I'm sure that these things will show you how amazing that concert was. Enjoy.

"Adeline" by The Shiver.

Ladies and Gents,

      I am proud to announce that April will be really great because of the new album "Adeline" by one and only, The Shiver.

     "Adeline" will be released on April 4 2017 - important date so remember it.

 
   What do we already know about this album? Not much, to be honest. Yet, of course, yet. Tracklist, artwork, music generation. If you know any song by The Shiver [if not, check their YouTube channel], you know what you can expect on "Adeline" - rock, alternative, a bit of electronic, gothic, maybe also metal and post-rock. Of course it's always a surprise but so damn good surprise. Great music is always great, no matter what.

tracklist

Adeline
Rejected
Wounds
How Deep Is Your Heart, How Deep Is Your Soul
