This week I have been in a contemplative mood.  Considering life, the way that light streams through the trees in a certain way or how that one particular leaf on the bamboo bush catches a near inperceptible breeze and waves madly while everything else in sight remains perfectly still.  These moments of contemplation can some times turn into something confusing and sad or they can be magical and refreshing.  Listening to the right music at such moments can makes all the difference.  For me, right at this moment that music comes from the indie folk band The Paper Kites, from Melbourne, Australia.  With the likes of Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers (both great bands in my humble opinion), topping the charts all over the world there is chance for mellow tones of poetic, introspective lyrics and beautiful harmonies to be heard and appreciated.  So if you are feeling the need for something that may bring you a moment of clarity or perhaps your heart is feeling a little heavy and you want to see the beauty in the world that you have been missing lately then let The Paper Kites take you, let their beautiful melodies and vocal harmonies lift your heart.  It's a wonderful feeling that I recommend!
