Step Out – José González

jose_gonzalez01_1234870710_M-904x602The first time I heard this song was on the Walter Mitty trailer… It gave me chills!

I thought it must be Of Monsters and Men, who also had music included in the movie. But it turned out to be José González! This guy is so talented.

I first heard of him via a chill-out album which included two incredible songs; Crosses and Heartbeats.

Step out has a thumping drum beat, inspirational lyrics and vocals that give you shivers.

Time to step outside, time to step outside
Time to step outside you.

House on fire, leave it all behind you.
Dark as night, let the lightning guide you…

…living life, feeding appetites.
Stayed through every hard stop, every go.
Being blank
Breathing half the time…

His music is so emotive… Such a beautiful song.

Jazz versions of pop songs (The Great Gatsby)

Gatsby-Jazz-600x600I am so into the 1920s music and fashion at the moment!

It all began after I watched The Great Gatsby…

The coolest thing about the movie was that they did epic jazz versions of modern pop songs. The Bryan Ferry Orchestra perform the altered versions.

My favourites are:

Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey)

Crazy In Love (Beyonce/Emeli Sande) Amazing!!

Back to Black (Amy Winehouse)

Alicia Key’s “Empire State of Mind Part ll” was also covered beautifully! But I can’t find that version…

I am so into this New Orleans style of jazz!!

Super cool :)

Pop Star Sings like Family Guy’s Herbert

Herbert does a little more than the occasional song on Family Guy – turns out there is a sound alike in an Indie rock band!!

You never guess what I stumbled across!!

Herbert the Pervert (voiced by Mike Henry) off of the hit cartoon series Family Guy has an accidental sound-alike!

The band is called Sleeping At Last and the song is called Turning Page with the sound alike singer named Ryan O’Neil.

If you’re a Twilight fan, you’ll know it from the Breaking Dawn Soundtrack.

I couldn’t stop giggling at the similarity. Just close your eyes and picture Herbert singing…
Go right ahead and skip 35 seconds in…
