I've often been called a study in contradictions - just because I'm smiling, doesn't mean what's coming next is good news.
This particular personality quirk probably helps to explain why some of my favourite songs to listen to when the sun is shining and birds are chirping aren't upbeat, danceable jams, but rather raucous and angst-y tracks.
Mumford and Sons is a great fit for me: their harmonies are beautiful even when their lyrics are super dark. This past weekend, Broken Crown from their sophomore album NAME was in heavy rotation, but only after the thunderstorms cleared up and the sun came out to play. Go figure.
See a recording of the band performing the song live (yet to be checked off of my bucket list) earlier this year: http://youtu.be/C_BwPR69gyc. Be advised, Marcus Mumford drops a few F-bombs in the chorus.
