Garden Music

When I am out in the garden I do like to listen to music and I think take inspiration from it. Two bands come to my mind that I really feel influence my approach to the garden, as weird as that sounds. Certain songs really resonate and instantly make me think about my garden. I have never heard of a musically inspired garden but I hope there are some out there. I am sure there are. Well the first of the two bands that I feel influence and inspire me is, British Sea Power. If you have not come across them before...... They are amazing in my unbiased and not at all obsessive opinion. The entire aurora (for the lack of a better word) really touches me, not just the music, but the ideals they up hold, charisma...... well just everything about them really. I can not imagine who I would be with out coming across their single 'Carrion' in 2002/03. I met my partner through are mutual love of this band as she was the only other person I had met who knew who they are! This is a band that will write songs about the Larsen B ice cap, you won't see One Direction do that anytime ever! Anyway here is a selection of songs that I love to listen too in the garden. First up I must have 'Carrion' as this is were it all starts.



The next song speaks to the environmentalist in me, its very rare to here a song like this that tackles a subject like this and does not sound over the top and ridiculous. This is 'Childhood Memories'.  


This one is just so very sweet, 'Do You Wanna Be A Bird'.



I could go on and on and on and on and on and on................and on about BSP, but I will restrain myself and move on to the next band..... Grandaddy. Possibly the greatest band ever to come out of California IMO. I am no expert on bands from California that said. This is 'Broken Household Appliance National Forest'



and........ 'Now its On'



These are a very small selection of songs, I could go on, there are so many that really spark my imagination when I here them. These are some of mine I would love to here if anyone else has music that they listen too in the garden that is also part of their inspiration.
