I initially heard this song on Virgin a while back. Didn't think much of it. Then I heard a clip of it on a Saturn commercial and it got stuck in my head.



5 Years Time is a catchy little diddy by Noah and the Whale. It starts out a little slow, but quickly heats up with a variety of interesting instruments. It's well paced and just when you think it's getting a little repetitive and a little boring, they change it up a bit. It keeps this up for 4-ish minutes and instead of fading out (which the repetition would lead one to expect), it ends abruptly on a high note. In general I like my songs short and sweet, but these guys are pretty interesting and I wouldn't have minded a minute or two more.

I'm unable to embed the Youtube video as I normally would, because they've disabled that feature. I've linked the above image to the video, though. Also, you can get to it straight from here: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8YCSJpF4g4)

You know... I've always fancied myself an Alternative/Classic/Punk rock kind of guy. According to my imaginary genre score sheet, however, this newly discovered "Folk Rock" has overtaken my previous genres of choice. What's up with that?

Until next time
