Music Monday

Hello seekers of melodic sounds. Today is Music Monday. It is also Thanksgiving for Canada.

I thought that because it is Canada's day to give thanks that I would put in a little something from a Canadian singer songwriter. His name is Owen Pallett. I went to his concert because I was going to Vancouver to see a free show at Signalfest early this year and decided that if I was driving all the way down there I should really see two shows. I hadn't heard too much from him before going to the concert but I can say that I was entirely impressed. He was mesmerizing. It was so much fun to watch him build a song right in front of me. The song I am presenting to you was at the height of my mesmerized state. There are few times in life that I have been able to give my absolute can't-think-of-anything-else full attention to something for longer than a few seconds but this song held it for 5 minutes straight.

This is "E is for Estranged" by Owen Pallett



This video was actually shot at the concert I was at. When you see the audience you may just see me sitting there, eyes fixed, mouth slightly ajar, possibly breathing but maybe not (I don't remember if I was breathing, I can only make an educated guess at it).

If you live in the US you may have a hard time playing this video. You can probably find another version of the song on youtube or the internets.

Until next time, keep your E's for happier words
