Music: Daughter

I prefer my music to have feelings, so that when I need something to validate my crazy feelings I know it is there. Sometimes these songs makes me want to throw my ipod out of my car window (if only it rolled down...). Other times they makes me smile because I feel so alive with emotion. Once, I made my BFF a mixtape that she decided to name, "Suicidal Lesbian." I listened back on the playlist and thought, holy shit she was SO right. This can't be healthy.

This song is no exception and was a track that I clinged to with all of my might earlier this year. I know many of you have felt the same sentiment as this song is singing out and jesus if it isn't some of the worst emotional pain you will ever go through. 



Daughter is a folk duo from London and I found this track on itunes for free last year (I've found some of my favorite songs that way!). There isn't too much information on the interwebs about them but from the raw lyrics to her delicate and haunting voice, Daughter totally nails it. I can't even write more about it without getting all weird and emotional. That right there is powerful music that you should listen to when your feelings have no words.

All melodramatics aside, what are YOU listening too? What should I be listening to? Something a little more cheery, perhaps? Excuse me while I wipe off my excessive black eyeliner, blow out these candles, and pump up some happy tunes.

  1. I love this type of music - thanks for introducing me to it! I'm listening to it right now and love it already.

    I'm a huge Mumford and Sons fan. Huge. Their second album is coming out the day before my birthday, and I could not be happier.

    I also love Florance + the Machine. "Shake it Out" is my summer jam! :)

  2. Great song! I've never heard it, but I like it. I mean, it says " I want you so much, but I hate your guts". Awesome.

  3. Oh, and I'm in love with the new ND song, obviously and also "Tongue Tied" by Grouplove and "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. I recently discovered them from commercials. (Don't judge)
