oh, the promising light / bending like a spine
I am getting on a plane to California this afternoon, and need to dive into work, but instead I really can’t stop watching this first:
Hey Rosetta! contributed a glorious favorite track on the Springtime mix I put together earlier this year, a cavalcade of voices and the stirrings of new life shooting up. This song and this video captures that same spirit. I want to sing on a cliff or in a darkened church with a few dozen people to this song.
Bandages – Hey Rosetta!
Hey Rosetta is from St. John’s, Newfoundland, the most easternly point in North America, and I guess that’s what folks do out there to support their hometown musicians. Bring the whole town right on out to sing. Their latest album from earlier this year is called Seeds, and they have a massive tour (Australia, Canada & most of the USA) this autumn.

Saw these guys live this summer… they were so adorable I could hardly stand it! What a heartwarming video

Thanks Heather. Could not stop smiling the whole way through

I’ve seen them live, have Seeds and despite its popularity, I don’t think even this video does them justice. If they’re coming to your neck of the woods, go see them – you won’t be disappointed.
Thanks for the post Heather

Hey Rosetta is fantastic! Make sure you check out the song they contributed to the CBC Great Canadian Song Quest: Old Crow Black Night Stand Still

This is great, and kind of reminds me of the Anna Sun video, in that it basically features everyone who happened to be around.
Also, seals/sea lions make everything instantly better.
