I have so many songs from the 9th and 10th grade with no idea of what they are or where they came from. I was lost in a sea of free music and my head was under the tide too long to notice genres or locations. I was too busy fighting for air, trying to float, or beating the current. I didn't look up biographies, find out about where all the musicians met or any of the other stuff that creates a powerful bond between artist and listener.
The anonymity of my musical exchanges kept me from really connecting with some great alternative bands(I wasn't quite ready for indie yet). So now everyone once in a while, on a weekend like today, a song will come on that is instantly pleasing and completely unrecognizable. I'll spend an hour or two researching the song, struggling to find lyrics or a bio on the obscure artist. I was glad to hear today that this artist, My Luminaries, is actually having a good year and has been gaining notoriety.
Onto the song, it has a 90's feel, back when many people couldn't tell the difference between alt rock and post-punk revival. This track, The Outsider Steps Inside, is one of a few singles released by My Luminaries. I don't know too much about that time period in music so suffice to let the song speak for itself...
