Angus and Julia Stone
Not sure how many non Australian actually know of this pair of talented brother and sister "Angus and Julia Stone".
I first fell in love with their music early this year after I heard "Paper Aeroplane" (dwnld), and now I love their newer tracks "Just a boy" (dwnld) and "The Beast".
Their songs isnt exactly "main stream" but they often come with an edge, character,soul and most of all, a nice tune which many modern american mass produced songs (by popular singers) seemed to lack or have lost nowadays with their current stupid craze of hip hop tunes. When I heard Madonna's new album Hard Candy, first instinct was "bloody hip hop trash". I admit I am being biased, hip hop genre to me is not proper music and never will. It lacked class. If its not about sex or degrading of women in music video, then its violence, otherwise its about drugs. Just so tired of this stagnancy in the music industry in states. They need better song writers who will stop conforming to the pressure of being "slick" and "trendy".
"About a Boy" Lyrics
I bit my tongue in the awkward conversation.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion.
That big old smile is all you wore.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
You can hold me to that.
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why
I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy
Did I say I'm just a boy
You can hold me to that
