100 Songs: 1/100 - Welcome Home
So I've been inspired to take part in the 100 Things blogging challenge - yeh, yeh, I know, another thing that I probably won't commit to. :P Whatever. Hey, at least it won't involve me talking about my bloody mule!!
Long term friends may remember when I used to do Folk Metal Sundays, or my weekly Songs What I Does Like post. I've been thinking about starting them up again because I love music and I love sharing music. So when I saw this challenge, I figured I could combine the two.
This list is going to be entirely random, non genre specific, and will just feature songs/bands that I happen to be enjoying at the moment or really want to share.

Song One: Welcome Home (Radical Face)
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
I consider myself a metalhead, and yet I think this little indie folk project is probably my favourite band at the moment. It was really hard to choose a song to share with you, but I figured I'd go with their most well known one, and the song that introduced me to them; if you recognise it, it's because it was used on a Nikon advert a few years back. I fell in love with the music and my little brother tracked down the band for me.
I love how the songs are a mixture of hope and sadness; I love the gentle melodies; I love the quietly clever lyrics. The cool thing about Radical Face is that all of their albums are interconnected - each song is about a member in this family saga that spans generations. They've recently - as in the during the last month - uploaded a family tree map so you can trace the stories and see which ones are connected. I've had a lot of fun checking to see if my theories were right!
I've bought tickets to see them in London in April and I can not wait. :3 Also, I can't garauntee that this will be the only Radical Face song I share on this list - they have a new album coming out next month, after all.
