me The Finer Things

Thematticus theme by Anthagio.
Sophomore at Binghamton University

I'm a big fan of the "music" of music. I believe that instruments, melodies, rhythm, and harmonies can say just as much as the lyrics themselves. This blog is dedicated to the smaller things in music that don't get the credit they deserve.

“You Are a Tourist” by Death Cab For Cutie

The second half of the second verse always stands out to me. The guitars remind me of wind chimes and they help make the song feel dynamic and even brighter than it already is: a perfect fit for the optimistic track. Sometimes small parts like that can say a lot.

“Ice Monster” by Minus the Bear

I love the chorus of this song. It comes unexpectedly. After a verse of wistful guitars and playful bass, the song changes gears with syncopated guitars, changed time signature and bluesy melody and lyrics. Not many abrupt changes sound so right.
