You Are Always on My Mind
tUnE-YarDs – “FIYA”
Her label says:
tUnE-yArDs is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, BiRd-BrAiNs was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic.
Recording herself using a digital voice recorder and assembled using shareware mixing software, she was described by Stereogum as “a self-contained Sublime Frequencies compilation, jumping between blues, African tunes, shiny reggae-esque sprawls, and lo-fi folk”, infusing the worldly sonic palette of M.I.A. or post-punk pioneers The Raincoats.
I have had this song in my favorites for nearly two years, never really listening to it.
The other night near midnight I was driving home from where I had been, windows open, music loud, when this song came up. It was as if I heard it for the first time. I found myself hitting the back button and listening to it repeatedly the whole way home. I put it in my favorites list for a reason, but I fell in love with it fresh last Wednesday night.

Hello!
Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Kelly and I am a mom of a twenty-something college student. When I was young, music was a big part of my life, but I let it fade until about 5 years ago when I woke up.
I love finding and sharing new music. My tastes might be unusual for a middle aged mom, but I like what I like.
My goal is to spread the word about bands and songs that make me happy (sad, moved, joyful) via free and legal promotional mp3s. These mp3s are for sampling purposes. Please support the artists and buy their music. I will be including links to the artists, their albums or their labels whenever possible.
I am not a big talker in real life and I am not a big talker here. I will keep it short and sweet.
If I post it, I like it!!!
Kelly

Historical Glass Dragonfly Mp3 Posts
I am going to be (re)posting my mp3 posts from my other blog (The Glass Dragonfly) here. It may take me a few days to get caught up, so bear with me.
Remember that all the mp3s posted here are promotional and could possibly disappear at any moment. Many already have (always a bummer!) especially in the older posts.
Take care…
Mp3s are for sampling purposes only. Support the artists by buying their music!! I have provided links whenever possible.
If I have posted music, it is because I like it, and it moves me at the moment. It might match my mood or it could be on repeat. It might be quite random and just what I wish to share.
*Older links may not always work, as promotional MP3s, in particular, are known to disappear without warning.
Artists and labels: if I have erred and posted a song inappropriately, let me know, and I will remove it.
