Nice, calming, beautiful.

Delightful guitar chords, harmonies and whistling. Pretty much perfect. This sounds like it should be an autumn song, playing on repeat while walking on sidewalks covered in leaves that delicately crunch beneath your boots. But I think it is just perfect for this sunny February day. All of this bands music is great. The Paper Kites just may turn into my most played artist.

Staring out the window, there are beautiful marble snowflakes drifting down to the already snow covered ground, but all I am thinking about is the simplicity of summer and the soothing heat of the sun on my shoulders and legs. Xavier Rudd's playful voice in Messages reminds me of the blitheness of summer. Only 5 months left until everything is carefree!

Here is a man form the U.K. who just wants to release his words through lyrical rhythms. Maverick Sabre's voice has certain aspects that remind me of Citizen Cope, but he still manages to sing in his own way. His soulful voice is like honey and butter on a piece of perfectly golden toast.
