Back in December I met a really interesting Scottish guy when I was staying in London. The 4 days we knew each other were a bit of a drama that had some fab moments like wandering around the city in the middle of the night on what ended up being an 11 hour date, and some less great moments, like when I realised he was a pathological liar and so much of what he told me was false.
On the first afternoon we spent hanging out (12/12/13), we were totally cheesy and spent an hour playing youtube tracks for each other and these are the highlights from him.
- Maverick Sabre, I Need. Almost what he felt a spoken word poet would be. Reflexively, he reminds me of a Sam Smith-type individual.
- Olafur Arlmalds, Ljosid. Now this is a beautiful video clip, that you really need to watch. It’s the story of how he and his ex ended. Being together for so long, then just eventually going in different directions. He was in love with the symbolism in this track.
- Damien Rice, Blower’s Daughter. His favourite Damien Rice song. One day, he would like to be able to perform as Damien Rice performs. A song that spoke to him/how he felt about his ex when they first met.
- Damien Rice, 9 Crimes. Idk the guy loved his Damien Rice, ok?
