Ba dum thish, Ba dum thish, what's that? Another week drumming on by, that's what. I hope it was a fun, exciting, productive, joyful and music filled week, wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home.
Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you legends too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Enniscrone to the Ethiopia doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same like.
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so lets roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 62nd week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday. It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing and that playlist that @blackdaisyft is updating (when she gets time) has ripped past the 600 mark that I mentioned before and at the last count was at an mightily impressive 639 unique tunes and trucking steadily towards 700. Thank you for doing that by the way daisy, when you do find time, as I like throwing on the playlist from time to time reminding myself of all of the sweet tunes that have been shared down through the months - Good on you.
Weekly, I try to find two or three hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has lead me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and fins some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tags that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
Here are my week sixty two recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
David Keenan - Two Kids
Well if there is one thing as sure as day following night and night following day, it's that I will share Irish artists and bands here from time to time and sure why wouldn't I? After all, I'm an Irishman so I'm well placed to bring you all a gem or two from our beloved Emerald Isle. What's more us Irish have a bit of a reputation as story tellers and what better way to tell stories than through song.
I can't remember who introduced me to David Keenan, but I do remember this was the first song that I heard and I found it very very powerful. It's sad and yet hopeful in parts and the music just fits the lyrics so well. Even in despair, having company and someone with you makes even the worst things more palatable.
David Keenan - Postcards from Catatonia
David Keenan is from Dundalk, County Louth and started out as a poet, but his fine writing truely comes to life when accompanied by music, as you'll get to appreciate if you listen to the songs I've shared.
His talents were noticed by one of my favorite musical duos Rodrigo y Gabriella and David toured America with them in 2021 and no doubt picked up new fans along the way. Here is my second song from David Postcards from Catatonia I love the imagery he conveys with his lyrics and passion he sings and plays with. For me he is under rated and I'm always surprised by how few plays he has on YouTube and Spotify.
David Keenan - What Then Cried Jo Soap
I'll leave you with this one. I hope you enjoyed the trio of tunes today and hopefully I've introduced a few of ye to David's music for the first time.
