This is a beautiful song. Here’s “Waiting” by Alice Boman.
Adrian Recordings sent me an e-mail with links to all of the spring releases they’ve been working on. Since they’ve been so busy lately, they had no intentions on finding anything new to release, but their friend Emil from the Malmö recording studio (“Studio Möllan”) came along with a girl he thought they should listen to. They rarely listen to demos nowadays but they made an exception. And according to them, time just stopped…
May 22nd, the label will be releasing Alice Boman‘s first EP called “Skisser” (“sketches” in Swedish) and thats exactly what the EP is. The song ideas were recorded in Alice’s home just so she could remember them, not really intended for anyone else to hear. I’m intrigued, especially if “Waiting” is along the lines of whats to come.
Check out this stunning video (by Amos LeBlanc) for “Waiting” by Toronto band PROGRAM. I’ve been following the band for a while now, through their name change from Volcano Playground, and reworking of their songs. “Waiting” has a new dose of life (and production) via the producer David Newfeld (Broken Social Scene) from his Stars and Suns studio. The band had this to say about the song.
“Waiting is a highly personal song. It’s about perfectionism, self doubt, depression, being a late bloomer. The final lines are about being beat up and cut to shreds, and being forever taped back together. I’ve seen wonderful people get knocked down, and never get back up, and it’s always tragic.”
