Day 1 Gotye!!!

So Ryan has picked a challenge for me that has to deal with music...music is a big part of my life...I grew up on it.  I remember watching my dad when I was a kid..he would have his ear muff looking headphones on that were connected to this big stereo system that had like 28 different knobs on it and he would be playing the air drums...all he would have where the drum sticks and he would be drumming like hell in the air!  He always had music on...in the kitchen cooking, in the bathroom taking a bath, in bed listening to a soothing cd to help him sleep and I followed in his steps. I cried to music, I laughed to music, I sleep to music.  It helped me through some dark times and it celebrates with me through my happy ones.  I enjoy all kinds of music, even classical.  The music I listen to reflex the mood I am in. 

This challenge is for me to pick a new and up coming artist every day for the next 30 days, learn about them a little and listen to their music.  I will not discriminate any of the genres that are out there.  I hope to learn about different music that is here in the U.S. as well as around the world. 

The first artist I am picking is new to me....I just heard him on the radio last week and already know his song by heart.  His name is Gotye and his song that I am completely obessed with is "Someone That I Used To Know"...amazing song with an amazing sound.   Gotye is an Australian musician who has been around since 2001 but has made it main stream with his new song!  You can learn more about him and his music on his website: http://gotye.com/.   His new album is called Making Mirrors and I can not wait to hear ALL of his songs!  

Listen to the song and you will be instantly hooked!
Gotye, Someone That I Used To Know:

The reason why I love this song so much is because it doesn't sound like anything that is out there now.  I find myself playing it on repeat when I am cooking dinner or laying in bed.  We all have someone that was in our life that at one point was important and now they are no longer apart of our life and this song is just about that!  Some of us are glad that person is no longer around and some may wish they were still apart of their life.  Either way I think that you will find that this song will remind you of someone--whether good or bad!

ENJOY!
