I'm off work for a week and I know you are feeling me when I say that this is one of the best feelings in the world....... arhhhhh!
I thought that this week I would share with you all a song from an artist that sums up that feeling, the same feeling that you get when you catch your first vision of the coastline as you hit your holiday destination.
Matt McHugh is the front man for an Ozzie band from New South Wales called The Beautiful girls, they have been knocking around the coastal music scene since the early 2000's mixing wonderfully poetic lyrics with sweet, free feeling acoustic rhythms. After their first album "Learn Yourself" their vision changed slightly taking them closer to a heavier reggae, bluesy edge however it's this first album that blew my mind.
Lyrically this is one of my favourite albums - it paints pictures of beautiful surrounds, peaceful and happy people and overall, just a reminder to appreciate all the simple things in life and be grateful for them. It reminds you that life is short and although work can encapsulate so much of or time and energy it really is the basics that makes the world spin.
This whole album feels like a grandfather talking to his grandson, passing on his values his stories and his lessons. It's an amazing thought provoking 45 minutes that gives you the feeling that Matt has been here and done it all before.
The album has the unique ability to do one of two things - sweep past you like a summer breeze allowing you to simply relax, or if you’re like me and listen closely to the lyrics, it will completely amaze and inspire you.
The song "Cash Money" is just one of about 8 songs on this album that truly help's put life in prospective, I chose this song simply because the film clip helps to complete the feeling of arhhhh!
