No photo today, just some new music! I spent some time on iTunes earlier this week looking for some new artists that primarily use guitar. I’ve started to learn the finger-picking style of guitar, and wanted some new inspiration.
I stumbled across Ed Sheeran, a young artist from the UK and am in love with his music! There is not much available yet on iTunes in the US, but I purchased the EP that is available, The A-Team, and have been listening to it non-stop in the last day.
Here’s one of the songs, Firefly, in a video with some nice photography as your inspiration today. Enjoy!
I like the song you posted. The technique “finger picking” didn’t really mean much to me, but this song you shared reminds me so much of one of my very favorite songs, Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez. I first heard the song on a TV commercial which showed a million bouncy balls going downhill in SF, which was pretty cool in itself.
I just rewatched it. Still awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMl5l6mOySU&feature=endscreen
After a very busy day, this music is just what I needed to calm down and sink into a relaxing evening. Thank you, Kat. =)
I’m glad you liked it! And I discovered today if you sign up for his newsletter you can download a little 2 song EP. Yay! Two more songs!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your wonderful find!
Love, love him. Have had his Wayfaring Stranger on repeat today. Thanks for the great introduction.
