"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley

Last week I posted a song by Jim James and I thought today I would share the first song I ever heard by his band, My Morning Jacket.  The more I listen to this man's work the more respect I have for him.  Every song I've heard so far has sounded different and has lead me somewhere fabulous.  If you are willing to let go and follow where the music takes you, you can experience some unexpected and brilliant additions to your life!  The song that I chose is "I'm Amazed".  It has a classic Southern rock sound to it (they were formed in the late 90s in Kentucky so that influence makes sense).  But as I said when I posted about Jim James' solo work, there is clearly a multitude of musical influences in this man's life so not all of their songs sound like this!  One of my favourites is called "Wordless Chorus" and it certainly sounds a lot different.  Anyway take a listen to this song and read the lyrics as well, written in list form they are biting and honest yet poetic.
