We spotted Stanley Sibande busking in Nobel Square at the Waterfront on Sunday. Amazing voice.
And then, out of nowhere, he did this: (sadly, I only caught a bit of it on video, but you get the idea.)
Looking him up, he has previous form:
Look we’ve covered Seafret a lot on this blog. And they’re great. But how fantastic to hear a bit of Bridlington in the middle of Cape Town.
And so beautifully sung. Great cover.
It’s been a while since we’ve had some music on the blog. I know that not everyone likes it when I chuck a tune up on here, but given the circumstances, when I’ve had some free time between schooling and cleaning and… well… blogging, I’ve been listening to a bit more than usual.
This one is from the new album from Seafret and seems to fit with the current situation.
Most of us are strangers
Who want someone to save us
We’re looking out for angels
And something we can hold on
Decent listening if you’re looking for something chilled and calming in these unsettling times.
Stay home. Stay safe.
The latest from Seafret, with a new album on the way in the new year.
This is Fall:
World War One video, popping into the present day from time to time for striking colour and narrative.
Decent.
Also, arguably even more decent: the acoustic version.
Wow. This is rather beautiful, a little depressing and very powerful.
Lots of lovely mountaintop piano from Harry; lots of honest, open vocals from Jack. One of those songs that you can delve as deep into as you wish. A really decent return from the Bridlington boys.
Filmed, at least partially, on a Mavic, we’re left wondering what exactly happens/happened at the end for things to turn out the way they did.
New music from Yorkshire duo Seafret (you may remember them from… oh… loads of different posts on here). This is Monsters.
Genre is listed as “Rock”, and there’s certainly a heavier kind of element to this one, despite the acoustic guitar in the video.
Much as Seafret did an acoustic version of Bring Me The Horizon’s Drown, so this has the propensity to be covered by a full-on metal band.
But for “just” a voice and a guitar, the guys do this so well.
And if you’re hearing voices in your head, you don’t wanna hear, they’re probably not these ones, right?
They played the Shard last night. That must be quite a venue.
One day…
