Day 164: Meaghan Smith ~ It Snowed

I look out my window on a foggy-white world. If I look close enough, I realize it's not fog, but small snowflakes falling on a late February ground. Really, spring is still a month away, but many people are still confused by this white world we're forced to be a part of still.

Why can't we all embrace the wintry weather, as this song does, all winter long rather than just in November and December? Can't the romance of it all last more than that magical month of its novelty?

I can only ever speak for myself and my opinion of the world. So, I'll tell you that this is great! I'll take freshly fallen snow over muddy ice and thirty below weather any day! Would I take it over growing puddles, sunny skies and dripping roofs? Hmmmm....well, I'm just as excited for spring as you are ;-) but if it's gonna be cold, it better be snowing!

Meaghan Smith - Heartbroken

I had a request to play "All the Saints" today...but, alas, Meaghan Smith grabbed my heart so much, that I had to chose this song instead...awn...another day for the Saints ;-)

From London, Ontario, Miss Smith is an absolute delight to listen to. This may shock you, dear reader, but I have to admit that I am self conscious about singing. I love music so much, though, that sometimes I blissfully forget about what I have been told is an off-key voice and just let it out! (That was one of the reasons "All the Saints" was requested for today ;-D) Luckily, I live alone and use my time around the home to sing along to the radio, like last night. This song by Miss Smith came on and I couldn't help myself: top of my lungs, I began singing along!

After reading the bio on her website, I am not surprised that I find myself able to sing along to her songs easily. She, too, is unable to read music (the sole reason I tell people I can play a cd player, but that's about it;-D). All sisters, another similarity, and an attempt at piano lesons, but that's where the similarities end. Oh, except for the Canada thing, but well, that nearly goes without saying ;-D. Alas, her parents were musicians, so it would be easy to blame her abilities on genetics. It doesn't really matter, though - she is phenomenal, regardless of how I can relate to her...

With two drops Jill Barber and a spoonful of Kate Nash, I nominate Meaghan Smith as one of my new fav artists! I just know she's make a great addition to the feast of music I'm gobbling up this year!

Video From Day 27(2): Meaghan Smith ~ If You Asked Me

This was the second video I posted on Day 28. It's still brilliant!

Day 27: I love the serendipity of finding new music...although I'm pretty sure I've heard Meaghan Smith before. This is how the serendipity of this new discovery happened: A year and a half ago, I went to Jeremy Fisher, and heard Hannah Georgas. I went to see Hannah, and I fell for Royal Wood. I began watching video mixes of Royal done by YouTube, and came across Meaghan Smith. Then, I found this tune...and it's just too good not to share with you tonight, rather than waiting for tomorrow's song...

Update: Now, when I find a song I want to share, I schedule it's release at a future time and date. You would think that would make it easier to find the perfect song for every day...
