Music: Leaving on a mayday by Anna Ternheim

December 2, 2009

T o escape the monotonous ambience of my apartment I sometimes take my PC to the local bookstore that offers free Wi-Fi and do some work at their café. On this momentous occasion I decided to drive half an hour to go to a decent Barnes & Noble with a decent café area. (The local B&N is extremely small, has no café area, and caters to the local university students.) After hours of working I was signing along to the music that was playing over the store speakers and wondering “who is singing?” So, I went over to the music section and asked the friendly cashier the name of the artist playing. Turns out it was a copy of Anna Ternheim newest CD, Leaving on a mayday. End of story? I bought the CD, of course! LOL

This is the kind of CD that can be played in almost any situation. It has moving songs and sad songs. Songs that inspire the creative juices to flow and songs that you sing walking down the grocery aisle looking for some food. (What, you don’t sing when you go grocery shopping?) Simply put, it has the perfect mix of uppers and downers and the perfect combination of music, lyrics and voice.
