"All That Spring You Could See Haley's Comet"

Madagascar

CD: Forced March
Song: "All That Spring You Could See Haley's Comet"
Label: Western Vinyl

I can't say that I like this song. The creepy, howling wind in the background is not exactly spring-like, but it seems to wipe everything out.

"Disappearing World"

David Gray

CD: Life in Slow Motion
Song: "Disappearing World"
Label: RCA

I gravitated towards this song rather quickly, despite its repetition. It starts out slow, soothing, and then it screams with me, as if to blur out the troubling thoughts in my head. After the blast, perhaps the world will disappear?

You can download the song from NPR. =)

His voice has a very sensitive side to it, a bit of that "Garden State" flavor.
