Introducing my newest fixation, who immediately jumped up the chart of my favorite musicians ever, not to mention, song-writers, performers, oooh they’re just the best!! Thanks to Giovanna davvero bella ;)

The Civil Wars is a duo of Joy Williams and Jack White, characterized with their acoustic style, just a purely acoustic sounds senza all the manufactured elements and definitely no auto-tuning. A brand new hope for the music industry, so it seems.

Their music speaks for itself, it’s honest and meaningful, and they constantly amaze me by doing so much with so few instruments. Most of the time it’s just a guitar and their lovely voices. But their voices are just nice, as crisp as it could be, as mellow as it should be. Perfection! And their harmonies send shivers down my spine. It’s scary to think that creating such beauty is a second nature to them. Just listening to them could make me cry, trust me.

But their live performance are the worsttt (in a good sense). It’s so evocative the way they sing it, the chemistry between them which pretty much makes everyone wishes that they were indeed a couple. But in their defense, White said that if they were indeed a couple, it wouldn’t be a healthy relationship if they keep singing “I don’t love you” (from their song Poison and Wine) to each other. Oh well, I think they’re soulmates in another universe. In addition their performances are so much fun to watch and they’re such a funny bunch of people. Aww if they’re ever coming to Singapore I wouldn’t wanna miss that!

Read the complete biography by Chris Wilman here. A lovely piece :)

ANNDDD. You can download their free album from here. It’s live, purely unplugged. And it’s just their second show, yet they sound so damn good. Live at Eddie’s Attic. 

This song, Falling, is the first song they ever wrote together. Very dark, very emotional indeed, but the harmonies.. oh mann… My personal favorite.

I am easily immersed in my own world and has a high self-amusing capacity. I love random walks, getting lost or taking the wrong bus just to see things yet to be discovered. I’ve been living in this tiny little red dot for 7 years and yet always find things around me to be utterly interesting. Well, maybe what’s bigger out there kinda scares me that way, too many things to be appreciated can be quite overwhelming somehow. I’m living a life of simple pleasures, of literature worth re-reading, of luscious dark chocolates, of quivering major seventh chord, of deep alarm-less sleep, of fresh quirkiness and best, of unrestrained shared laughs. But, despite the simplicity I might present, I’m just as complex and paradoxical as any human being out there. This blog is an insight of my life, pure honesty, for I don’t write what I don’t feel deep down. Here comes the gate of my reverie.)
