Musical Selection of the Week: Josh Pyke is gonna make you swoon

by Marian Schembari on June 25, 2010

For the life of me I can’t remember how Josh Pyke came under my radar. I wish I did so I could give a great big bear hug to whoever did the recommending.

While I was working at that museum in Manhattan over the winter, there was a lot of walking in the snow. Sometime in February we had this huge blizzard and the entire city was weirdly quiet. On my walk from the subway station to the museum I listened to “The Lighthouse Song” and now all I can think of when I hear it is big, fat flakes and the craziest city on earth at a standstill when covered in snow.

If you thought I couldn’t get any mushier than that, I’d also like to point out that one of my favorite lines EVER is in this little diddy: “When I should be leaning against you, deciding on things to get done, and you should be leaning on fountains and filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs.” Swoon.

Enjoy! (And tell me what you think…)

    Love it – I really dig your music posts, Marian. Also – even though this is about music, the artists you present also really have (or work with people who have) interesting aesthetics that are direct and uncomplicated but also interesting and beautiful just like their music!

    Yay! Oh G, it makes me so happy that you said that. I was stressing about my music posts because no one seems to care about the…. except ME. Seriously, they're my least read, least commented on posts but I've continued adding them because sharing my music love with the world makes me happy. Anyhoodle, I was just thinking about how dumb it was that I keep posting it and this comment shows up! So you definitely made my day and I'm glad at least one person has been enjoying it! And yeah, the nonmusical aspects have been interesting. Since I only watch the videos so I can post them here (better than just adding a link to the song), I've started nothing the aesthetic parts of my favorite tunes as well!

    Did you notice his accent? He is SOOOO Australian! You rarely hear accents that thick in songs – love it ;-)
