Anyone who knows me knows that most of the bands I hear are characterized by not well known. Counting Crows (at least here in Spain are not), The Jayhawks or Del Amitri are some examples. But today I want to talk about David Berkeley .
In music there are hidden gems to that one discovers, usually by accident. In these terms, David Berkeley is the largest gem with which I have encountered.
would be impossible to talk about his music without mentioning the words feeling, poetry, passion . American singer / songwriter (just 33), defines his music as "acoustic / indie / alt / folk / whatever-you-want-to-add-here." Criticism has always been very positive, highlighting the incredible melancholy and melodic tenor voice the poetry of his lyrics and intensity and emotional depth of his music. He has recorded
3 studio albums ( The Confluence, After the Wrecking Ships and Strange Light ) and 1 live (Live from Fez ). He is currently raising money in website for the production of a new studio album, Some Kind of Cure . At the time of this writing, has raised more than 80% of the $ 32.000 you need.
In 2004 he recorded After the Wrecking Ships , their second album. The Rolling Stone critic Rob O'Connor chose the best album of the year. Includes Fire Sign, their most popular song. Two years later
Strange recorded Light , but the album was not released until 2009. Is produced by Brian Deck, producer of the last Sunday Mornings Counting Crows album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings.
Despite rave reviews, has never achieved the fame he deserves. I find it very sad to think that if it were not for a very particular, would never have come to listen. As I said, Fire Sign is their most popular song. Appeared in the "Wannabe" series Without a Trace, and that's where I heard it. It was night and stayed with the letter taped to search the next day. Had it not been for that, never have heard from him at least until now.
Sell your discs directly into your web , but are also found in other online shops.
I think the best way to know is to listen Fire Sign and direct at Joe's Pub in New York in 2007, almost all of this on Youtube David Berkeley.
Should Have Told Me
Seemed like an ordinary day Everything
Seem To Be Okay
Did it hurt you?
These Are the scars you never show
She is a fire sign you know
One day you're near and then you go
Here is a looking glass what do you see
There is nothing there but me
There was a wishing well I jumped into
Nothing came true
They deceive you
There was a wall you had to find
The echoes in your mind
You'll surrender
These are the lessons that you learn
Nobody hears, no one's concerned
One day it's clear and then you burn
Here is the wishing well I jumped into
Nothing came true
Here is a looking glass what do you see
Sorry it's just me
Even just a sound and all your cards are down
Even just a sound
Let me lay you down
Don't have to make a sound
I would lay you down
It surrounds you
Sometimes it's easy to believe
Sometimes it hurts more then it seems
Now it's over
These are the scars you never show
There was a warning sign, you know
One day you're near and then you go (x3)
