He Who Sings Brand New Day Gives us Two Brand New Songs


It's been a while. I realize that. I've had a lot going on with work and with the Masquerade Ball I threw last week with some friends...So my apologies, please.

The other night I watched the movie Adam which is about a man with Asperger's Syndrome who begins a relationship with his new neighbor. The movie was good, but the soundtrack was even better. I may be a little biased because they had not one, but two Joshua Radin songs on there. Not to mention the Weepies song I like, Can't Go Back.

The song that I will be sharing today plays during a time of self discovery toward the end of the movie while Adam is walking down the streets of a New York City suburb in the snow. It begins with a series of chilling chords. Joshua perpetuates the mood with a somewhat lugubrious first verse. Josh is joined by Maria Taylor at the chorus where we eventually find a bit of solace from the cold, but even sitting by the flickering warmth of their voices, the cold still seeps through the seams of our coats.

Listen and let me know what you think.



Okay, you may have to check this one out as well...It's from his new album The Rock and the Tide. You're gonna love it.
