Because the band I really wanted is gone…

Up until the release of An Altered Ending, I wanted to share some of my favorite songs from the playlist I listened to while writing.  Unfortunately, the one I wanted to share this week is impossible to link to. The band, who was seeing some moderate success in the Maritimes about six years ago, has virtually disappeared. They aren't on iTunes, Pure Tracks, and with the major decrease in CD stores it's probably only possible for you to find their albums in second hand music stores, and it's quite probable that it would only be in Canada.

The reason I share a music pick every week is because I love music almost as much as I love to write, read, and be taken away to another world in any other form of media. I think that you can find some really fantastic stuff through recommendations, and maybe help send an artist who's little known into the spot light. It's also why I try not to share too many choices that I know are wildly popular, and heard all over the radio, music channels, etc.

That being said, the track I'm sharing this week, "20 Good Reasons" by Thirsty Merc actually came from a YouTube suggestion because of what ever I was viewing at the time. I didn't hear it until after I wrote Altered, but I did listen to it while I was doing the edits and found the song fit the feel of the book to a tee.

So, if you like it, pass it on. I'd never heard of this band before I was recommended this song, but I'm certainly glad I did.

Also, the track I wanted to share was "Walk With You" By a Nova Scotia band called Crush. If you want to hear what they were like, check out the song "King for a Day" or "Bad Enough", both on YouTube.
