Music Monday: Plain White Ts

I am a fan of Plain White T's. Their music, their lyrics, everything to me is soothing and really tells a story. It's rare when artists lyrics really speak to me and reach me deeper than the surface. My favorite songs are the ones where its mostly acoustic. I love just guitar and a voice. It's more real than adding all that other stuff to it. I'm all about the music man. :)

"Hey there Delilah" was probably the first time I heard Plain White T's. That song, the music, is amazing. Mostly guitar and Tom Higgenson. His voice his velvety goodness. Here is a cover of that song that took me forever to find a decent one. This one is one of the better ones I found. There just isn't a good cover for me that does what the original does for me...but this one comes close (?)



The next song that I really like is "1, 2, 3, 4". It's a simple song just like "Hey there Delilah" and carries so much meaning. Again mostly acoustic and a velvety voice lol
Here is Sean Murphy and his version. (I may feature him next week with one of his original songs)



And finally (Oh wow I'm doing three songs I hope I don't freak out!), their newest song "Rhythm of Love" has got me melting. Melting I tell you! The rhythm of that song is so catchy and smooth. The cover version I'm going to share is how I sing it when I'm in the shower or in the kitchen baking or cooking or even just listening to the song and singing along. This is Joseph Vincent (I love his voice!) and Clara Chung singing "Rhythm of Love". They were having fun while recording this and its still pretty fun :)
