Grey's Anatomy music

[franciscanheart]

the show is my favorite part though i think the show would suffer without the music. and mcdreamy... it would suffer without him too. his wife is [i]gorgeous[/i]. redheads are so beautiful.

McDreamy

Although, I have to say I like Meredith better than Mrs. McDreamy. But, I respect that the McDreamys are working things out.

I by no means wish to start an arguement, b/c I do think McDreamy is, well, dreamy. But he just doesn't do it for me.... I think it's the funny facial hair. Have I fallen off my rocker and gone bonkers?

Oh I love Meredith but there is something about Mrs McDreamy that I totally love too. They both win me for different reasons. If I had to choose a camp ground it would probably be Meredith's while I secretly rooted for Mrs McDreamy for her somewhat in-line morals. At least she's making the effort to save what she partially ruined!

McDreamy is dreamy in his unpolished look. It's his killer smile. I do agree he could do more to make himself more presentable and attractive but gosh... all the time he spends at the hospital and with the new dog... I can see him not really wanting to spend the time (or having the time to spend) on his face. He's cute with or without.

The first ep I watched was the two-part one with the bomb, the baby, and the tensions all around. I think it was titled "Its the end of the world" and then "as we know it." I though the ending of "as we know it" was incredibly powerful. I thought that song really enhanced the scene...it was beautiful. In fact, I was so captivated by that song, that I searched out the artist and song. It is called "Unlike Me" and it is by a woman called Kate Havnevik. The lyrics are incredible. Granted, she won't be winning any best Catholic poetry awards, but still.

BTW, unfortunately, she has not released this exact song, which is the acapella version. She does plans to though but it does not sound like it will be on her upcoming CD.

UNLIKE ME (Words by Kate Havnevik)

There are no guarantees in life
Not for the present nor for the future
All I know is that I'm here
Don't know for how long
I love the way you live so intensely
Enjoy every minute of life
With space to swing your arms around
Laughing loudly

Unlike me
Unlike me
Do you think I'm strange

Unlike you
Unlike you
I am not pretending

There is no time
There is no time
There is no time
Time doesn't really exist

The past, the present and the future
Are all side by side hand in hand
You move and change
Yet you go nowhere
Everything stays the same
You stare at me and ask me questions
Makes me nervous
This room it keeps a constant tone
While I'm on a rollercoaster

Unlike me
Unlike me
Do you think I'm strange

Unlike you
Unlike you
I am not pretending

There is no time
There is no time
There is no time
Time doesn't really exist

Kate Havnevik, the author of "Unlike Me" has released her CD on iTunes. Unfortunately, they have not yet released the a cappella version, but apparently will being doing so soon. The CD is OK, I have not purchased it, but the other samples I heard are good, but not as powerful as "Unlike Me."

cool!

i really like Joshua Radin, who has been featured a couple times on the show, he has great music!

Not sure what I think about him. He has an interesting sound, which almost sounds like Simon and Garfunkel at times, and Danien Rice at other other times, but I am not sure I really like it. He is good, and I could listen to it, but I am not particularly moved or inspired by his music as I am by others. I am definitely a fan of Laura Veirs though, especially the song they had on Grey's Anatomy a while back called "Rapture."

[Lil Red]

hmm, just listened to a clip, not sure about it.

just downloaded a song from sandi thom the other day, it's pretty good.

van hunt, too. he's got a curtis mayfield sound, it's smooth and awesome!

have you listened to hayley westenra? i like her sound too. also corinne bailey rae

Those are some interesting picks, though I can tell you I am not a big fan of R&B and so not really liking van hunt. The other two, hayley and corinne have an interesting sound, but not something I am particularly fond of. Although, between the two, I would probably pick hayley over corinne.

Not a big fan of Laura Veirs? It is really hard to judge though based on the clips that they provide on itunes, but I really enjoy her sound. I also find myself listening to a lot of Imogen Heap. I am not a big fan of the Frou Frou CD, the Imogen Heap "Speak For Yourself" is amazing...even her old one is excellent, though it is definitely not as refined as "Speak For Yourself."

With regard to some of the most amazing songs from Grey's Anatomy, I would definitely cite Rosie Thomas and Devics as some really powerful musicians. Although, I have to admit, I also like the more Pop sounding KT Tunstall as well.

A large majority of my recent music purchases have been of the Indie genre, and I am really pleased with them. I think I finally found the genre I like the best

[Lil Red]

yeah, i like imogen heap, also rosie thomas and kt tunstall. i haven't listened to devics, though, so will have to do so. you should listen to the "broken flowers" soundtrack - it's simply brilliant! a lot of indie songs i have liked i found through woxy.com, you can get it through the radio on itunes.

I will have to check those out. I also forgot to mention that I have been listening to a woman by the name of Tristan Prettyman, she has a "coffee shop" kind of sound to her, but it is some really good music. There is one song with which she does a duet with Jason Mraz, which is OK, but I think it could have worked just as well without him. I also like a band I heard on Grey's Anatomy a while back called The Weepies, they are really good. Their one song "World Spins Madly On" has some really interesting but very poetic lyrics. Actually, the entire CD is very poetic, which is probably why I like it so much, being a poet and all

One CD I do regret buying, which I bough a while back, was The Fray, the more I listen to it, the more his whining really annoys me. Oh, and if you want something a little faster, upbeat, and has a kind of garage band sound to it, you should definitely check out The Gossip. I really enjoy them, especially their title track "Standing in the Way of Control."

I could just keep making more and more recommendations since my music preference has definitely turned drastically towards Indie. I am definitely glad I came across that playlist on iTunes for Grey's Anatomy, because it definitely opened the door to tons and tons of Indie music I really like.

[Lil Red]

thanks for the tips!

Your welcome. Like I said, the majority of my iPod is filled with all new Indie bands that I have found. I could give you so many recommendations, but I am sure the ones I have given already would be sufficient

[Lil Red]

theo, you should check out Conner. they are from lawrence, ks and they really rock. their album (hello graphic missile) isn't out until june 6, but they have free downloads out there. try [url="http://www.3hive.com/"]3hive - sharing the sharing[/url] mp3 blog. should be the first entry.

You are right, they are pretty good. I really like the first song, "Cold Feelings," the other ones don't sound as original and almost have a Bloc Party feel to them, which is not a bad thing, but they don't seem to pull it off as well imho.

Thanks for the recommendation though, and the cool website.

God Bless

Lil Red,

I found another playlist from iTunes for Grey's Anatomy which shares a song from my other favorite show, Alias, needless to say, I am now listening to the group "Umbrellas"

[Lil Red]

yeah, i am digging the Umbrellas. cool sound.

i like "Cold Feelings" too - i only have one Bloc Party song and i didn't see a connection.
