SadSeptemberSongs: September 4, 2010

As a segue from Little Dragon, I would like to now present you with a great Saturday morning tune by Jose Gonzalez.

Yukimi Nagano's muse? or friend? or I dunno what, or how, or when they met or why...but in any case - Jose Gonzalez is top 5 on my list of amazing writers (at the moment, you never know when these things change - I use to think Bryan Adams was pretty amazing).

Also from Sweden, Jose Gonzalez has released two albums, Venner, and In Our Nature. Both are on par with each other and this is very hard to accomplish after a 1st time big success. As a matter of fact, I introduced my boyfriend to the second album first, and he liked it better than Veneer.

I love Jose so much that it is almost impossible for me to choose one song. But for the sake of keeping it "sad" and autumn-like, I will choose one of my favourites: Cycling Trivialities. This one made me cry while I was cleaning one random day years ago now - so out of nowhere heart-wrenching. He has this great vibe of insight and warmth and kindness. Like he wants to always spread love around - in every song, even the dark ones.

The version I've found includes Yukimi and is live for a telethon (not sure which cause, maybe someone can figure it out for me).

Have a great Saturday morning - until tomorrow. Enjoy
