Felt: "New Day Dawning"
I'm still very much in a New Years frame of mind, with all of its attendant thoughts of new beginnings, so while everyone works on their resolutions, I thought I'd post some appropriate music: "New Day Dawning" by the obscure, British, 1980's-era indie band Felt. The first time I heard the typically low-key, minimalist first half of this composition, I was completely unprepared for its sharply constrasting end: a soaring, almost "jammy" coda that comes in like a sudden ray of light. Every time I hear it, I can't help but play "air drums" along with it, and feel inspired.
