Today’s “Featured Artist and Song of the Day” showcases Gainesville, Florida’s own, And the Giraffe, with their song, “Underground Love,” off their album, Something for Someone, which can be downloaded for FREE here. The duo consists of best friends, Nick Roberts and Josh Morris, who take on the ambient dream-folk genre, and do it well. The video below was shot in Los Angeles, California, over the course of 2 days, and is one of the best music videos I’ve seen in some time. The video was directed by Harrison Sanborn, with cinematography done by Michael Bolten and Harrison Sanborn.
It is days like this, where I happen upon bands like And the Giraffe, that really remind me how fortunate I am to have started The Troubadour’s Road. The constant search for music is one I gladly take on, and it truly is an honor to be able to share the music of so many talented artists. And the Giraffe is one of those bands, and will be one to continue to follow as they take on their musical journey.
These words find their place in the song, “Underground Love,”
“Falling under, underground love
The blindsiding wildfire crept through the fog
It ended our dreams and ended us all
A new temptation followed thereafter,
A desire to move – to move on faster
Ask me again in 500 years
If death on my doorstep tingled my fears
If pleas for clean shadows had any chance at all
Or if underground love got lost, lost in the fog
Can you please forgive me for my sins?
I’ll love you forever when our new life begins
Be it underground or on top the world,
I’ll shred those blank pages
I’ll save those old words
Cause I’m falling under
Underground love
Falling under
Underground love
Ask me again in 500 years
If death on my doorstep tingled my fears
If pleas for clean shadows had any chance at all
Or if underground love got lost, lost in the fog…”
