Favorites from the 20 Years of Onechord.net – Part Five

Carrying on with posting some song and music video favorites from the 20 years that I’ve been making Onechord.net. Here’s the link to the monster playlist, because I don’t have the time to write a post about everything.

Kicking this with one of my biggest favorites songs. I think several hundred of the youtube views of this video are mine. The song I Know How I Feel About You can be found from Turner Cody’s 2013 album Last of The Big Time Spenders. This is also one treasure though and Turner has quite a big discography of amazing records. The latest one actually came out earlier this year and it’s another winner. I’ll drop one great tune from that below the all-time fave, so interested parties can find the new treats.

I absolute love Huck Notari. His 2009 album Very Long Dream is probably my favorite from his discoraphy and I’m especially fond of this song Wall Around Your Heart. Huck’s another one that also released a new record in 2021, so I do the same as above and drop one song from that here. After all, for various reasons I’ve been mostly playlisting instead of writing blog posts and lots of these haven’t been shared in any form for those who have been lucky enough to stay away from the streaming services.

Let’s not break a good pattern and continue with all-time faves that also released a great record this year. I don’t have a clear got single favorite from Michael Feuerstack, because there’s probably a dozen tunes that I love equally much. Let’s go with Love Is All Around from the 2019 album Natural Weather, because I also love the beautiful music video. And below there’s a title track from his amazing 2021 album Harmonize the Moon.

I’ll wrap this one with the final song from Norfolk & Western’s magnificent album Dusk In Cold Parlours that came out in 2004. It’s one of the early blog favorites that have stayed on my side throughout the years. Maybe I’m weird, but this quietly mesmerizing At Dawn or After Dusk is one of all-time favorite songs. For some it’s probably just a nice little tune, but it’s everything to me. Adam Selzer, the man behind Norfolk & Western also released a great solo album last year. Check that out if you missed it at the time.

Favorites from the 20 Years of Onechord.net – Part Four

Carrying on with posting some song and music video favorites from the 20 years that I’ve been making Onechord.net. Here’s the link to the monster playlist, because I don’t have the time to write a post about everything.

I’ll start this chapter with some beautiful songs from Haruko aka German singer-songwriter Susanne Stanglow. Back in 2009 I fell in love with her debut album Wild Geese and gave it full five hearts. Here’s some treasures from her songbook. Goodbye, My Love Goodbye is from Wild Geese, We’ll Be Birds from 2013 album Feathers & Driftwood. For further studies I highly recommend the most recent project Sea Below that released a beautiful EP in 2020.

My knowledge about Faroese music is pretty much limited Gudrid Hansdottir, but quality over quantity. She is a special songwriter. Here’s a wonderful song A Faroese Fisherman Speaks of Drowning from her 2011 album Beyond the Grey.

Here’s a bit more recent favorite from red steppes. I’ve watched this beautiful live performance of Madera so many times during the couple of years. The song can be found from the album Arcs that came out in 2019.

Favorites from the 20 Years of Onechord.net – Part Three

Carrying on with posting some song and music video favorites from the 20 years that I’ve been making Onechord.net. Here’s the link to the monster playlist, because I don’t have the time to write a post about everything.

This is probably the song and video I’ve heard the most times during these 20 years of onechordnet. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and I still listen to it all the time. That chorus is everything. I’m of course talking about Fuck The Government, I Love You by The Burning Hell. I will forever carry this song with me wherever I go. If I one day end up in a coma, you can play this song to me and if you don’t see a smile starting to take shape on my face when this hits the chorus, it’s time to pull the plug. Absolutely perfect song and of course only one example from their wonderful catalogue.

Another artist that has caused serious song obsessions. Cheese and Crackers everyone. I don’t even particularly like that combo, but Freschard makes me convinced that I do. And that Tweet Tweet video below. It’s so perfect. If I had a time machine and could go anywhere, I would still skip all the historical events and just transform myself into that bar to sing Tweet Tweet with Freschard and friends.

Not a surprising transition here, because you can see Stanley also in that Tweet Tweet video. Back in 2014 Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures turned depression into joyous celebration of life. This one lifts my spirit every time everyday things try to drag me down. Whatever life, I still have orange juice and you.

Time to wrap this part with a great song and music video from Steven James Adams. I’ve always liked his songs starting from The Broken Family Band days. This is one of my many favorites and this joyous escape from the corporate life always bring a smile to my face.
