if we were fading,

theme of the week: lesser known songs of religiously followed indie artists

1. Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson

ingrid michaelson's best known song is "the way i am" of Old Navy commercial fame. this song, like all of those on her CD, is very soft and deep. the lyrics at first seem strangely uncoherant, but are (of course) pulled together by the second half of the first verse. Ingrid Michaelson: Breakable

2. On the Radio by Regina Spektor
regina spektor's "fidelity" is the most easily identifiable of her songs. this song, on the radio, could fit in several week-themes, one of them being 'love-hate relationship songs'. besides an obvious drug reference in the chorus, this song is bubbly in regina spektor's mellow way. it pushes the limits of sobriety and reverence, but cannot help being a good song.

3. Living Room by Tegan and Sara
tegan and sara, the fantastic canadian indie band, is best known for "back in your head". this song is an almost unheard of song, and barely made their cd 'the con' as a bonus track. nevertheless, it is certainly worthy of the attention of the worldwide public.
