There needs to be something more in this world, and I can't find the answer

We live in a terrible, but a beautiful world. It's a good place, inherently, but we've twisted it. It is not a deed of a single person, but an atrocity committed by all of us. A debt we owe that we'll never pay. A poisoning that has stopped more than just hearts.

I feel there's something missing. In me, in you, in all of us. We run around trying to find that last one puzzle piece, only to collect more of what we have, take things that don't fit, and break others.

Today's artist is The Album Leaf. The Album Leaf is a solo project founded by Jimmy Lavalle in 1998. Hailing from San Diego, Mr. Lavalle is known for his soothing, ambient style. These couple next songs are Over the Pond, and Window.

 

 

Some may call it a wave of depression coming over, but I appreciate this style. It's the sort of sound that brings one back to the beginning. To that place where they began. The place where we could be refreshed, and renewed. The next song, Twenty Two Fourteen, surely does it for me. 

 

The Album Leaf's style could be distinguished as post-rock, but I think it's much more than any other post-rock project that I've ever been in touch with. Sometimes, once in a while, we need that something that will make us see, what we are doing wrong. Listening to the Album Leaf, I saw my past, my mistakes, my faults, my wrongdoings that I've committed, and poured them out, in front of Mr. Lavalle's music. I hope it can do the same for all those who pass by this humble place. 

I apologize for my long hiatus, and coming back in so long with a depressing post such as this, but I wanted to let you know that sometimes, when life's sufferings get too hard to bear, music may be the only solution. It was mine, and let it be yours if you please. I'll leave you with some more of The Album Leaf's goodness. Good night everyone.
