One of my favorite bands is Blackfield, and “End of the World” is my favorite of their songs. I even got some of the lyrics engraved in the back of my iPod.
Waiting below for a dream
Here in the garden of sin
This is one of those times where I should take a picture to make my blog more visually dynamic, but that means getting my iPod from my car, taking off the case, photographing it, etc., and I’m feeling lazy. Besides, I’m already a day late with this post, so…
I saw Blackfield live in Seattle in 2011 with cklahr. This song gave me chills, even if Aviv did take off his shirt and wrap it around his head. Hey! I don’t judge, all right?
What is your favorite song that you’ve watched someone perform live?
My favourite song that I’ve ever seen done live was “Comforting Sounds” by Mew. Oh my goodness, it goes on for ages, but it is so beautiful. A million times better than the album version. It really took my breath away.

I am impressed. My A to Z theme is bands no one ever heard about, and Blackfield would certainly qualify (one of its principle members will make an appearance on my blog).
I feel so alone, as comment after comment reads “I never heard of them.” It was nice to find someone else who listens to music from off the beaten path.

Yay! People aren’t big on my music choices either. I’m definitely checking out your blog. Maybe I’ll find something new. :)
favorite song I’ve seen performed live? that award has to go to the crazy mess of whatever it was I saw last night. I can’t single out a song per se but man, EPIC live performance was EPIC. Actually, I LIE, my favorite song performed live ever was exactly a year ago when Sam Bradley serenaded me on the dark porch of an abandoned house with my favorite song – Scared. I plan to have a line from that song tattooed on myself, so yeah, that wins.
