Do yourself a favor.....

set yourself "Free".....

WOW......

guys, seriously i dont know if i have the words to describe this album...

i ABSOLUTELY LOVED his first album and the stripped version of it....still do!

second album......hmmmm...didnt get it, never appealed to me...

third album.....i'm literally sitting here with NO words...trying desperately to think....nothing....i sit listening to it eyes closed, feeling it, shaking my head, sometimes singing along...loudly.......think Stevie Wonder.....you know when he gets into it and starts moving his head.....yeah thats how i get.  sometimes i just sigh..

his lyrics are incredible, honest, revealing, bittersweet, passionate, real

now i literally have this album on repeat throughout my day....morning, day, night.....yes, even falling asleep....

BUT.....i do have my favorites....3,6,8....yes i know the numbers

STAY - the opening line kill me dead!....this man has a way of making you feel whatever he is feeling...so honest, so painful ....i sing out LOUD to this one......sorry neighbors

LOVER BE STRONG - another sing out loud tune....lyrics, music, voice....DEAD....his stories in his songs.......sigh

WATERFALL - ok.....now i can't really explain what this song does to me...it's not appropriate....hahahaha...But, seriously...it's not...it definitely takes me someplace.....i have this on repeat at bedtime

Its really hard to choose favorites as the entire album is INCREDIBLE...it always amazes me when an artist can have an album in which every song is GREAT...wait, why are you still reading this?.......go get it!!!! haha!

P.S. sooooooooooooooooooo bummed i missed him on concert....

  1. My friend just saw him in concert last night. I believe she met him too! I haven't listened to him in a long time, but by the sound of it I should probably start!

  2. ...downloading now

    Between your pics on FB and your comments about the "inappropriate" things the songs do to you, you won't have any fans left...

  5. Thank you so much for posting this! I'm a huge Gavin fan and I had no idea he had a new album out (too much school work will do that to you). The album is AMAHZING!!

  6. I loved Gavin's raw, earthy, and passionate vocal style, the first time I heard it!!! Although at times, I'm less than impressed with the quality of some of his songs...only because I expect so much more from him and I KNOW it's in him!!! But it's great to hear that his new album is really good!!! :)

    You know...because it's TOO much for the brain to handle...some references from you should not be contained in the same train of thought...like "bedtime", "inappropriate", and to keep this PG-13, I'll let you guess the third word... ;) But you're SUCH a bad boy...and I try SO HARD to be a good girl (well, maybe not that hard)...why do you encourage our "naughty"?!!!... ;)

  8. It's wonderful to be able to let things move you like that . . .life without passion is so . . . sad. And boring!

    So keep feeding those passions, Mark -- even if it means having to replace an ipod or two . . . ;)

  9. I'm late to the Gavin love party, but have you heard Lover Be Strong with just Gavin and his acoustic? It's amazing. I was right there when he sang it. Powerful is the only way to describe it.

    It's in part 2 about 10 mins in
