...As Tall As Lions

So as many of you know, I'm pretty much music illiterate, which sounds like weird being that I'm a music major and a music teacher, but there you have it. I have a horrible memory for music, both classical and non classical, and that's just sad. After all, music is a method of communicating and of expressing emotions non-verbally and my Masters thesis is pretty much about using music as a tool for emotional expression. So, I figure I'd better step up to the plate and make one of my goals for the summer expanding my music knowledge.


I was recently made aware of the Indie Rock band As Tall As Lions, thank you Tim, and I really fell in love with their music. Originally from Long Island, these boys were high school friends and founded the band in December of 2001. Their lyrics deal with the commonplace everyday struggles of life. I really like how easy it is to relate to them through their lyrics. Their harmonies, both vocal and acoustic, are well thought-out and wholly appropriate. They're probably my new favourite band. Check out "Milk and Honey" and "Song For Luna", two of the first songs I heard by them.
