Music Thursday! : What I'm Listening to!

Thursdays on the Blog are going to be set aside for Music.  What FromtheFallen/Brandon and I are up to musically, suggestions on cool stuff, reviews and all things related.

Today lets dive into what I'm really listening to lately and think you should check out.

With the Holiday Season in full swing I find myself gravitating to more melodic sounds and musicians.  Something that just came out is Pentatonix version of "Little Drummer Boy".



I love these guys for pretty much everything they do.  Purely talented and genius' at arrangements. I really loved their version of "Radio Active" featuring Lindsay Sterling. Better than the original in my opinion, and I rarely think that about covers.

I've also been going back to listen to stuff released awhile ago.  Like Ed Sheeran, a great song writer, musician and lyricist.  This song creates such sadness for me personally.  Yet most of the teenagers who I see loving it and going to his concerts probably have no idea what it truly means.



I am a strongly against drugs of any kind but this song brings out the compassion in my heart for those poor souls who are so lost. And so many people need our help and compassion. We don't know their stories of how they ended up homeless, addicts, and so on.

On a different note (Pun intended)another great band that does amazing covers is Boyce Avenue.  I love Adele and love this song. Boyce Avenue does more than justice to it. I think these guys are so brilliant at their recreations and how they convey emotion always gets me straight in the heart.



So I hope you check out these videos and more music from theses artists. I realize that the music I create in FromtheFallen is very different and much heavier. But like most musicians I listen to a huge variety of genres.  Good music is good music I believe. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

Happy Listening
