Forse è Finito Nero Ma Lei è Tutto Vedo

One artist that echoes the autumn season in his sound is Mat Kearney. The cloudy months are best time to listen to this underestimated musician. I got so excited at the coffee house last weekend because as things were closing up shop, Kearney's "All I Need" played in the background. It was so subtle, but very beautiful and sincere. Yet, some of his tracks are more up front and bold. He is able to do so much with his music.

You might recognize the name because his songs "Undeniable" and "Nothing Left To Lose" have been on the radio in the past year or so ago. Plus, Grey's Anatomy fans should know him because his "Breathe In, Breathe Out" was featured on the show and its soundtrack. But, he is so much more than what he seems like, musically.

What I really love about him is the fact that his talent is like a stretched out hand that gently touches numerous genres. This boy can be very Greg Laswell-esque (G. Laswell=amazing. Future blog topic), or he can rap his way through an intricate idea. Yeah, dead serious.

Here is the song called "All I Need" and it's for his friends from New Orleans who survived Katrina. It's intense, but beautiful. Look at the lyrics of this song. You can get more of a visual that way, instead of just hearing a love song. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/matkearney/allineed.html


I admire and respect Mat Kearney so much that I will have a separate post for one of his songs called "Girl America". It's the most beautiful, honest, sincere song about our society and country that I have ever heard. I want "All I Need" to have its own respect since its topic is truly sensitive for each individual in the U.S. "Girl America" is the same way. That piece needs its own reflection because I think it is that important.
