The weekend can't come quick enough after weeks like the one behind me, when there's little time for anything not related to studying (including blogging, unfortunately). When it is finally there, why not enjoy the temporary glimpse of freedom with some good tunes?
So here it is – the first Sound Between weekend mix tape. This one is short and you might have heard these songs before, but hopefully it'll give you something to tap your feet to.
Regina Spektor- On The Radio
The sweet voice that gave everyone goosebumps with The Call (featured in Narnia: Prince Caspian) twists and turns around this track with an ease that is so signature to her experimental style. On The Radio runs the risk of just getting stuck in your head with its catchy chorus, but with a closer listening the verses wind around meaningful contemplations of love and life.
Josh Pyke- Forever Song
Josh once again longs for swapping the mundane for the perfect in this track of his Memories & Dust album. He sings like he's retelling stories of that perfect trip, when you felt free and at peace with all. The Forever Song longs for that feeling to come back.

Darwin Deez- Radar Detector
When I met a local songbird in the bathroom of a club a while ago, I seized the chance to swap artist names. She recommended this from the funky debut of the equally funky looking Darwin Deez. The album is arguably repetitive, but that just makes it easier to sing along to the funny choruses that make you jig up and down a bit. Radar Detector is no exception. Listen closely and you'll find some equally unusual ideas for a date.
Old Man River- La
This guy has equally groovy hair as Darwin Deez and will make you sway from side to side while he repeats a single syllable. What makes this song really worth it is the arb music video.
Hint: if you listen closely around 1:53 you'll hear a duck that is just as randomly funny as the video.
There you go. A sweet voice, two funky dudes and a piece of forever- what more does a weekend need?
“I want the song I can sing forever,
I don't care for structure,
Just to know it's mine”
I don't care for structure,
Just to know it's mine”
