In an attempt to spread the love of Bic Runga overseas, I've sent
bad_mushroom half a dozen assorted Bic Runga tunes hoping to create a fangirl. :) I YSI'd them, so if anyone else wants a clicky or two: (all in mp3 except for Gracie which is m4a)
SorryThis is a song from her first album "Drive" which is much more rock-y than most of her stuff; I like it because it's fun, and sent it off because it's different.
SwayThis is also from "Drive", and it's the song that made Bic famous. It's universally loved and very awesome. :P
DelightThis is "Delight", which is the last "Drive" song I sent. It's different from.. pretty much anything. I'm sending it because it's totally GORGEOUS and very, very good. :P Mind you, I think everything she does is good.
The Be All and End AllThis is from her second album "Beautiful Collisions." She kind of changed her style for that album; I sent this one because you said you liked folk, and this one is sort-of folky. Although maybe it's more country. ;) Anyway, it's cool.
Election NightThis is "Election Night" which is my favourite song off "Beautiful Collisions." It's very different in tone to "The Be All and End All," it's way more... lush, I guess. (Actually there are some versions of some of her songs that she did with the Christchurch Symphony that are STUNNINGLY gorgeous but I haven't got them on the computer. There's this one that actually uses timpani _playing the tune_. It's SO awesome. Anyway.) Where was I? Oh yeah, "Election Night". It might be kind of poppy, I don't know, but I like it. :)
GracieWindows Media Player will play m4a, if you're wondering.
This is Gracie, which is from the Beautiful Collision bonus disc. It's one of my favourite of her more rare tunes, I don't know why- well, yes I do, it's because it reveals this really nice eye for detail and daily life which I love in both poetry and lyrics. So yeah. :)
Enjoy, all! :)
I've also posted my third
