Two Songs for a Spring Day



Two songs for spring, that capture that fleeting moment before it gets way too hot. The dog days of August have their own tunes.

"My Doorbell" by the White Stripes celebrates endings and beginnings, stirs a little madness in the air that comes with spring, and ponders future love over a melodic bangin' piano, bass, and simple drums.

In the second song, rapper Oddisee offers his spiritual and moral take on the ins and outs of love. He comes at the listener from multiple dimensions over an almost church sounding groove of swirling keys that offer the type of hype money can't buy.
