Floyd Thursby And The Definite Article - The Thief

I really like the video for this one and how the song and animation fit so well together. The animation is reminiscent of some of the opening and closing animations for mystery/detective tv shows and movies that I'd stay up watching with my mom when I was little.

PJ Harvey - Desperate Kingdom of Love

PJ Harvey has a voice that's a personal favorite of mine and there's something about her delivery in songs like this one that just seems so honest and true.

Below you'll find one of my favorite live performances of PJ Harvey's Desperate Kingdom of Love. This cover of the song by JennaFinland on youtube is also very pretty.

Natalie Merchant - Carnival

This is one of three songs in my music library that include the word "Carnival" in the title and though I referenced one in my first (real) post in this blog, I must have neglected to mention this one as well. I've been recently rediscovering Natalie Merchant and this is surely one of my favorite songs. Her voice is magical.
