Motley Tunes is a weekly segment featuring an assortment of 2-4 songs we find worth sharing. Post by Atharv.
Admittedly, I listen to very few female artists or bands fronted by females. But I'm trying to change that. Here's 2 songs from two of my favourite female artists - Regina Spektor & Laura Marling.
1. Eet by Regina Spektor
Regina Spektor has this uncanny quality of sweeping you off your feet and placing you as an awestruck spectator in whatever vivid world her song paints. First verse and she's already related with you on earworms. Chorus and she's wishing she can press 'eet' on the typewriter that is her life and get a second chance at getting certain things right - and in the deep recesses of your heart, you're secretly wishing it too.
2. Rambling Man by Laura Marling
Laura Marling has been writing songs since she was 16, and her music has evolved a lot in all those years. What has been a common thread throughout her career is the personal voice she infuses into every song she writes. Her songs are bold, assertive and independent; this self-awareness is exemplified by Rambling Man.
"But give me to a rambling man,
let it always be known, I was who I am."
