Clem Snide’s Eef Barzelay<\/strong> continues to be one of America’s best songwriters.\u00a0 Barzelay never fails to evoke emotional responses in his songs, ranging from tears to laughter, with intelligence and soul.\u00a0 He’s written too many gems to mention quickly and so many that some have even gone unrecorded.\u00a0 Take for example his song We Are Flowers<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Check out Barzelay’s 2010 Tiny Desk Concert<\/strong> below for NPR<\/strong>, but pay particular attention (or skip ahead to 9:00-13:30) to the understated and unrecorded mini-masterpiece We Are Flowers<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

After We Are Flowers<\/strong>, <\/em>check out Eef’s new song The Woods<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>which was made special for a BBC<\/strong> <\/em>show and released on his Bandcamp in February.<\/em><\/p>\n

Long live Eef!\u00a0<\/strong> While Eef’s been busy recording great fan-funded songs (see the second “HERE” ahead), we hope for the release this year of a formal full-band or multi-instrument album by Barzelay or Clem Snide.\u00a0 Until then, check out these songs and look into the back catalog of this great singer-songwriter HERE<\/strong><\/a> or HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
