Veri Perri

"To thine own self be true" says the tatoo on the right arm of Christina Perri. 

I find such melody in her voice, it is just unfair for her work to be classified as "Pop". Follow the tattoo preach ? 

Actually she does. Her song in the OST of the movie "Twilight - Breaking Dawn" is just the right concoction for both vampires and werewolves ! Sample it -  A Thousand Years

But there is more. She released an album this year titled "Lovestrong", which is stretched with many generes, starting with…ummm…"pop", but many songs don't quite pop out ! Trailing end of the album surrenders itself to a fair bit of melancholy-on-guitar. Some name taggers call her music "post-relationship"!

Here is a mini list of very likable ones, even while you're in a relationship.

1. Jar of Hearts
2. Arms
3. Distance (with the awesome Jason Mraz)

If her smile intrigues, her looks credit-roll to an Italian father and a Polish mother. Prior to breaking into music charts, Christina waited tables at an LA cafe during the day, writing and recording during the night. 

Take a moment to listen to the music. And don't forget to sip the coffee. Both are crafted in real fine hands !

Music and Marathons !

There is nothing more rewarding than running in the rain. The human identity is lost quicker. The runner becomes the run, and soon, the run becomes the rain. Feet falling on the ground, not hitting, just dropping like rain. You should try it some time. 

Yes, I run. Not away from things, but into things. Things that make life happen ! And I run into a lot of music, not by profession, but by curiosity. Discovery of a new sound or a new voice, to me, is like seeing an extraordinary sight of nature. You cant own it, but you want to capture it in a camera, and share with people.

My maiden post is a declaration - whatever I find interesting, will find a way into this blog. If you know that music, add to it. If you dont, try it. All links pursue a legitimate purchase. 

So, here is to New Music ! 

Come, play along.
