Certain Songs: Sort Of Revolution

Sort Of Revolution

If you like beautifully written, slightly darker-tinged folk, then you may love Fink. Fink is English singer/songwriter Fin Greenall, and I wonder once again why I am so late to the party.I picked up his 'Sort Of Revolution' album this week and I can't stop playing it. This latest record is actually his fourth, so I have a lot of back tracking to do...which should be glorious listening.

* 'Move On Me' MP3

you have no idea how glorious it will be! i want to marry this man so he can sing to me all day! and i'd use the words "understated sexy" to describe some songs too. listen to
"blueberry pancakes" and "pretty little thing" :)

I may be incapable of using the phrase 'understated sexy' in context actually...because I totally get what you are saying! Thanks for the song rec's....i will start there :-)

the song "this is the thing" is his best known song. it's been on the tv a lot, so give that a listen as well. and thom yorke of radiohead loves the song "q&a." happy listening!

My phone's on vibrate for you...

...or my email is anyway! Hey, it's me Blair...the Certain Songs staff of one. I just do this for the love of the music and am in no way trying to rip anybody off, so if you are an artist or a record label and you are not happy that I am promoting your music, or you want me to take a song down, just shoot me an email and I will most definitely oblige.

And please support the artists I post here in whatever way you can if you do download a song...go to a show, buy some merch, buy an album...these songs are the soundtrack to my life and I just love to share them. But I can only do that if the insanely talented artist responsible for said songs are able to eat.

I also love hearing new stuff...so any submissions can also be sent to my email, I will try my bestest to listen to everything and get back to you all...peace,love,rock n' roll.

Mission Statement

I guess you're old enough to know.
Kids out on the east coast.
Roughly twenty years old.
Got coaxed out by a certain perfect ratio.
Of warm beer to the summer smoke.
And the meat loaf to the billy joel.
Certain songs they get so scratched into our souls.

She goes low on the seats when she gets high in her car.
She looks shallow but shes neck deep in the steamy dreams of the guys along the harbor bars.
She's pulling out her shirttails and jacking up her socks.
Stern and stoned and confident, coming up towards the jukebox.
Born into the only songs that everybody finally sings along.
B-1 is for the good girls.
It's only the good die young.
C-9 is for the making eyes.
It's paradise by the dashboard light.
D4 is for the lovers.
B12 is for the speeders.
And the hard drugs are for the bartenders and the kitchen workers and the bartender's friends.
And they're playing it again.
Ellen Foley gives us hope.
Certain songs they get scratched into our souls.

I guess you're old enough to know.
Kids out on the west coast are taking off their clothes.
Screwing in the surf and going out to shows.
They get high and ride around in gtos.
I guess you're old enough to know.
CERTAIN SONGS THEY GET SCRATCHED INTO OUR SOULS.
- The Hold Steady
