The Beginning And The End Of Everything

A couple of weeks ago, Australian musician Josh Pyke released his newest album, titled 'The Beginning And The End of Everything'. His music is what I think's called 'Indie Folk', a bit similar to Lisa Mitchell and maybe Boy and Bear. I've had a major admiration for his music since I was about 10, and I both blame and thank my brothers for this. So, if you were hoping this was going to be critical or whatever, keep hoping - because the only fault with this album is that I want more.

I will seriously question anyone's sanity who thinks that any part of his music is only "okay", because while he might not have the catchy, up beat tunes of a Justin Bieber song, Josh Pyke definitely rivals Taylor Swift in the lyric department.

"Time is like the ocean, you can only hold a little in your hands". WHO THINKS LIKE THAT!?!?? A lyrical genius, that's who. I mean, get that he's saying we don't have a lot of time on our hands, but surely I'm not the only one who would phrase that more along the lines of "we don't have much time". Yes, okay, people write songs! But this guy has written so many amazing songs that always seem to hit the mark perfectly, and this new album has just done it again. I love all the songs on this record, but my favourites would have to be 'Haunt You Love' and 'Feet of Clay'.

So, I really suggest that anyone out there who hasn't already heard his music goes and finds it now, and I'll try and post a link to the clip for 'Leeward Side' for anyone that wants it!
