I am SO thankful to RP for introducing me to Other Lives.  I purchased everything they had off i-tunes and I am NOT disappointed.  Their music is haunting, sweet, dark . they literally take my breath away. 
Nice to hear they are taking time off and working on some new stuff.  Next time they come to Toronto, I will drive 4 hours to see them.  Can't wait to see them live. 

OK, Minor Key song .. my cat died yesterday, I had an accident in my car, ran over some old fool with a walker trying to cross at the crosswalk I was occupying, Heard Joe Biden speak again, discovered that hidden paper sack with the half-empty (get it, half-EMPTY) bottle of Gentleman Jack in the back closet behind all the guns and ammo, drank it then heated the bottle in the microwave to get the last drops out (betcha didn't know that trick, huh Mister or Mizz Alkie?) found out that my investment in Facebook was in the bottom of Doctor Crapper's Porcelain Invention.  But wait, there's MORE!  Behind the false panel in the laundry room I found all of these old rusty razor blades, dropped through a slot in the opposite wall of the bathroom.  I've got one now, a nice Gillette Single Edge all rusty with "pat. Pend. 1926" stamped on it, coruscated with some drops of dried blood from pre-AIDS days maybe via the last Minor Key Soul who used it .... Ahhhh yes....  I'll get back to ya all ...

The National meets Great Lake Swimmers—or there's something in the air.

Nice.

Are you suggesting that only "uplifting", happy music (in major keys, etc.) should be "given airtime" here?   That might get tiresome and creepy.
If you really are searching for 100%-uplifting music, there's always these guys:

Never heard of this band before, needs checking! Good song!

There must be something in the water of Stillwater, OK because there are a way too many talented artists from there!

Nicely said.  If I ever get to Melbourne, there's a waltz with your name on it.

When in doubt - blame the album cover and / or song title...yeah! (Nevermind that silly musical part of the equation.)

Because it is a lovely song that makes me want to get up and waltz across the room

Why is this song given airtime?  E minor as a song title with a shack on a gray day on the album cover.  In search of something a bit more uplifting. 

I always knew Oklahomans must all be high to elect the politicians that they do.  That would explain it.

Bill, you knocked it out of the park with that segue!

I'd like to see XTC do this song....love the lyrics, the sleepy melody...appropriate for my day today....

Beautiful sound. Sounds reminiscent of early harmonic Bee Gees. Great time sig for this chord progression. Love it.

Yawn. 

keep it coming Bill!

Nice— the singer has a Gilmour-esque quality to his voice.

Being a JJ Cale fan, is there a lot of heroin in Oklahoma? This is the third OK band that sounds like they are playing while laying on the ground?

what a blend in from the last one!    smoooooth
