This compilation is a series of songs that you might want to listen to after a long day, relaxing in front of your PC, maybe chatting, having a drink or just spacing out. They're rather downbeat and might tug at your heart, you know for those nights where you feel maybe a little too lonely?
Ah well, enough of me droning on, good music is good music.
Inside is:
1) John Mayer - Wheel
From his Heavier Things album, one of the songs I like most from John. Slow, heavy guitar leads the song which slowly builds. Nice to sing along to as well.
2) Sigur Ros - Ara Batur
From their latest album, this one is simply beautiful. Recorded live (in one take) they have a full choir joining in at the end. This song either puts a smile on your face or a tear in your eye. Beautiful, breathtaking stuff.
3) John Frusciante - Hope
This one is a semi-depressing song by RHCP's guitarist from his Curtains album, just him singing with a guitar. Very barebones which is why you can feel his emotion coming through. Just the opening line, "I feel the hope, running low." Definitely one of my favourite songs.
4) Jose Gonzalez - Deadweight on Velveteen
Lifted from his Veneer album, this one is typical Jose, soft wispy acoustic guitar lines running and him almost whispering the lyrics. Once again, filled with emotion.
5) The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home
From their Ma Fleur album, this one just sounds sad from start to finish. Song starts out slow and grows, having it's up and downs but the whole feel of the song is just that of bittersweetness. Tugs at the heart strings.

P.S. Sorry the file's a little big, the Sigur Ros song is 21mb but it's well worth it.
Time is irrelevant,
it's what you do with it that matters.
