There is just something about a perfect harmony that just
gives me chills all the way down my back. When two peoples flawlessly pitched
voices just match together it’s like mash potatoes and gravy, peanut butter and
jelly, peas and carrots you just know that those voices go together.
While listening to the band called First Aid Kit, you get
those chills and you know these two singers were born to sing together. An
example of this would be in their cover of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by the
Fleet Foxes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrqBldlqzA.
For one these young ladies voices are fantastic on their own, but as they
collide together the chills begin.
As their voices creep together, you can feel every little
hair stand up on your neck. It sends a
burst of nerves to your heart warming it with every note. For me it’s my
comfort zone. When I am feeling down in the dumps, it’s my go to thing to
listen to some high quality music. No, not the regular stuff you hear on the
radio. There is so much more talent out there than what is over played on the
radio.
First Aid Kit is a fabulous example of these unrecognized
artists. Not a lot of people know who they are but after you listen to them,
you won’t be able to stop. You become addicted to the sweet harmonies of these
two sisters voices becoming one. You can hear so much passion in their voices
along with the harmonies, and the uniqueness of their voices gives you that sort
of comforting feeling. It has the uniqueness that you can’t hear on the radio,
it won’t be on the billboards, they are much underrated for the talent they
have. I feel like they are doing so much more than singing a song, they are
telling a story. The passion in their voices, gives you a much more
sophisticated professional feel then songs on the radio rapping about drugs and
booty.
Not only do these underrated artists have higher quality
voices than most of the artists on the radio, I feel like they put a lot more
meaning behind what they singing. Yes, they are higher quality voices and on
top of that they aren’t over played. People don’t hear them every day. When you
listen to music that is off the pop-charts you get the opportunity to introduce
these feel-good voices to people who wouldn’t normally listen to this
unappreciated music.
So the next time you are feeling
down and you just need something heartwarming. Tune into some music that’s of
the mainstream. You may find that the secret harmonies could really turn your
day around, get those chills and enjoy that feel good music.
