Cary Brothers - Blue Eyes
This week’s Song of the Week comes from a soundtrack that I have been listening to over and over again. Partly because I just saw the movie and thought it was INCREDIBLE, but more on that to come soon enough, as I will post an extensive review of the film “Garden State”. This is one of those movies that has so much going for it and then it adds music that lifts the movie so much that it is astounding. The music made the movie and vice versa. Out of the entire soundtrack it was difficult to pick one song to be my SOTW but I had to pick one and this is the one that won out, followed closely by “Fair” by Remy Zero, who have since broken up and who’s lead singer was married to Alyssa Milano (come on you can’t beat that).
Song: Blue Eyes
Artist: Cary Brothers
Album: Garden State Soundtrack and All the Rage
Why This Song? The entire Garden State soundtrack, which I recommend highly to any music enthusiast, is full of subtle, soft, and/or folkish type songs that really fit the movie and this is no exception. This song features a songwriter with great talent and a great voice, who is yet to even be signed by a major label. This song is just real, and you can feel it in his voice and just like you can feel it in the movie. The music itself is very soothing and the lyrics are touching (‘Blue Eyes, You are all that I need /Blue Eyes, your the sweet to my mean’ and ‘All the lights on and you are alive / But you can’t point the way to your heart / So sublime, when the stars are aligned /But you don’t know / You don’t know the greatness you are’) . For as much as I love angry and angst ridden music, I have no idea why I like sentimental stuff like this, but I just do. Regardless if this is your style or not I would recommend checking it out, it really is a great song by a musician that seems to have a promising career.
