Last night, I saw lightning in the distance and since I had nothing better to do I decided to go find a dark enough spot to capture the actual lightning strikes. After many attempts, I got one good shot - this one. Feels so good to get one good shot after repeated failures. yeah.

José González
José González is an artist that really struck something in me from the very first time I heard his singing on a Zero 7 song. The formula is simple really: guitar + a singer-songwriter with minimal beats. Somehow, this simplistic approach works marvellously. In this case, simplicity really is best. His relaxed, calm & clear voice really pulls you into the songs as he sings.José González is a musician of Argentine origin born in Sweden. In fact, he was born in Gothenburg, Sweden which is known as the birthplace of melodic death metal. However, González sounds nothing like a lot of artists coming out of Gothenburg and that's a great thing here.
The music is melancholy yet mellow. It'll make you feel sad yet lift you up. It's really quite hard to classify. Most of his songs have a lonely feeling but at the same time, they also feel happy & hopeful. His music is by no means upbeat but you'll have the urge to move your body & sing along to a song as it progresses.
González currently has two albums out, In Our Nature & Veneer. Both are amazing, and both share the same approach to music. Some memorable songs include Heartbeats, Crosses, Teardrop, Down the Line ... I might end up listing all songs. :-) Just give him a listen, he deserves it.

Primera post
Welcome to the inauguration of my brand new blog. I have no idea what I am going to be posting on here; the only thing I know is that they will likely be quite random & probably won't make any sense. So enjoy your stay!
