The Innocence Mission - Brotherhood of Men
A few weeks ago I ran across this beautiful duo. Karen has one of the most enchanting and melodic voices that i've heard in a long time. They seem like they could be the soundtrack to any dream,making them perfect for a slow autumn day. The Innocence Mission is a perfect blend of folk rock and bluegrass/acoustic, and their music fails to be merely topical. The simplistic quality of the instrumentals and vocals are strongly overshadowed by the depth in lyrics. They have a sound that seems almost primitive to the sound that most folk rock musicians have begun to create.
Today, I decided to leave you with one of my favorite tunes, entitled, The Brotherhood of Men. This song is easily the soundtrack to my day. It's a windy day in Ohio. Today life has a sort of monotonous and melancholy drone, yet it is beautiful. Acorns and crabapples litter the autumn ground, a symbol of a new change in this cycle of life. Somehow, for me this song just highlights such starkly human qualities. We all have our pains and our distractions yet we are all connected, in passing and in living our lives. This reminds me of my childhood so much, living in small town Montana, where everybody knows one another, where even the strangers aren't too foreign. Sometimes I would find myself in conversation with someone who seemed to know much more about me than even I did at the time.
Enjoy!
Toodles,
Ash
