My hopes are high but my eyes can't
Believe what they see,
Give me something to believe,
Gime me something to believe,
I got lucky in life and had plenty to eat and
I saw this world as one big pool of opportunity
But there's too much mind corruption,
Too little remedy (or that's how it seems to me)
Yeah we need a moral education to
Set the young minds free...
So let us change what we can and
Accept what we can't
Impart some of the wisdom
From that tried and tested man
There's no harm in being wrong you know no,
In fact to me, it's common ground - yeah
So take that feather from your cap sir,
And pass that feather around...
My hopes are high but my eyes can't
Believe what they see,
Give me something to believe in,
Give me something to believe,
My hopes are high but my eyes can't
Believe what they see
My hopes are high
Give me something,
Give me something to believe
Filmmaker Ward Serril created a short mini doc on Seattle, Kexp and Sub Records called Something in the Water. I first checked out Sub Pop in college (join the club) listening to bands like the Afghan Whigs and Jesus & Mary Chain and they are one of the few record labels that has consistenly signed top notch bands in the past 20 years.
A quick check of my ipod and so many of the artists are from Sub Pop, Band of Horses, Constantines, Fleet Foxes, Red House Painters, Beach House, Rapture, Shins, Washed Out, etc. Like any music fan I wish it was a little longer and dove a little deeper but it was a nice overview of the Seattle music scene. If you are interested in checking out some of the other recommended record labels please check the posts on the Trojan Box Set Nyahbinghi and Crate Digging in NYC.
Swedish singer songwriter Jens Lekman swung by NYC and played several sold at shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg detailed here on Brooklyn Vegan. Highly recommend his album Night Falls Over Kortedala if you like acoustic singer/songwriters along the lines of My Morning Jacket, Trashcan Sinatras...
