\"TGV\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Sharon Van Etten<\/strong><\/a>…. On our recent hiatus, we realized we had let ten music-less days slip by.\u00a0 Unimaginable.\u00a0 And we hadn’t missed it at all.\u00a0 But with the omnipresent Kanye, Iggy, bla, bla, bla, of the music blogosphere, it’s not hard to grasp the cumulative effect on the ears and the need for a music fast.\u00a0 At the end of that 10-day period, however, we hopped a TGV<\/strong> north and, to help pass the kilometers, we threw on the headphones.\u00a0 Sharon Van Etten<\/strong> randomly came on, and we were immediately transported by the songs on her phenomenal recent album, Are We There<\/strong><\/em> (easily one of the Best Albums of 2014<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Only then did we again recall the import of great music in our lives, especially where soundtrack and life coalesce and enhance each other.\u00a0 Sitting with the ones we love (sur la vitesse), as the sunflowers, lavender and white-cow clusters blurred by, Van Etten sang (on Our Love<\/strong><\/em>) “I’m a sinner and I have sinned…it’s our love, it’s our love, it’s our love, it’s our love,” all to a warped melodic slant on The Lion Sleeps Tonight<\/strong><\/em> “weem-o-way” chorus (to our ears anyway).\u00a0 Somehow our TGV mise-en-sc\u00e8ne was enhanced greatly by the SVE soundtrack.\u00a0 Each takes his own.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, Van Etten<\/strong> has today released the official video for Our Love<\/strong><\/em>, which you can watch below.\u00a0 As conducted by Karen Collins<\/strong>, the video is…well…lovely.\u00a0 Though we regretfully missed her recent California shows, Van Etten<\/strong> remains on tour and the remaining dates (through December) can be found HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
