One of my closest friends is a ART MAGNET...he attracts great people and has a great spirit and great appreciation for all forms of creative expression. I have met some of my other best friends because of him. Back in 2006, he informed me that his very old, close friend Jennifer was playing in the Pop Montreal festival and that he thought I would like her.
The animated video for one of her tracks "Heaven" that I've posted below was my first experience of Jennifer Castle, and I was instantly captivated. I don't think I need to explain why this song is on the "sad" end of the spectrum, but I do think it's worth it to give this lady a bit of promotion.
Going to the show at Pop Montreal, with an intimate crowd of people and a small space to watch Jennifer do her thing, was one of the best live experiences I've ever had. It was enchanting, the room remained silent for an hour straight, she wrapped us all in this highly emotion-infused bubble with her and we stayed there till the end. I was expecting nothing and I received an unforgettable gift in return (pretty sure that's how it always goes). Her newest album, entitled "You Can't Take Anyone" is so full of goodness that it's hard to choose a favourite track. I recommend somehow getting a hold of that album and listening to all the tracks and then telling me which ones you like the best. Very hard to find this artist on youtube...and furthermore, it's well worth the investment in support of such a unique voice/musican/artist.

("we always change" will be the song I play at my wedding if I ever have one) xo
I mean, come ON, "I don't care about money, I don't care about time, I don't care about reason, reason don't care much for me."
how beautiful is that line?
alright so I leave you with "Heaven" and enjoy the beautiful day!
