SONG
memories from a shore


i recently stumbled upon this track by using an app for my iPad(thanks again matt) called "aweditorium" ... it's a great app, i suggest you go and download it for your iPad for free.


anyway, after hearing the song for just a few seconds, i noticed that the vocals sounded way too familiar. recently, i have been completely stuck on a group called manchester orchestra. their songs are eerie, heartfelt, and at times angry as hell... the sort of anger you only get from a high school breakup or when someone that borrows your pen, puts it in their mouth and then hands it back to you. ugh... i hate that.


realizing that the song i heard on my iPad was being sung by manchester orchestra's andy hull, i instantly hopped on itunes, previewed it  and purchased the disc. i knew if it was as good as the track "memories from a shore" or even anything like manchester orchestra, i was going to be fine with my purchase.


so back to the description... turns out this disc is number two of a three disc concept album. the short of it is the main character of the trilogy is a 17th century sailor who comes home and catches his wife in an act of betrayal with his brother. i am not going to go on and on and site lyrics that support this claim. however, i will state that the chorus to this song packs a punch.


"anna, no. what an embarrassing way to go."


woof... that hurts.
anyway... i love the way he emphasizes "embarrassing". try singing along... it's tough. 
so click on my link below and at least give the song a listen.
i hope you enjoy it... check back next wednesday for a new tune! 
later
