Audio_ELF Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Kind of a bit of a weird post here ... but just found link to Jane Siberry's music archive. No at all sure what kind of music she plays but the way she was talked about she is at least a little well known. Anyway most of her albums are in full CD quality AIFF downloads and it always exciting to find new music (especially free!) so downloading some now to listen to... Eloise Edit: sorry bad spelling strikes again! Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
rtrautner Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jane Siberry is a terrific Canadian singer and more importantly, songwriter. If you like her stuff, you may want to check out k.d. lang's "Hymns of the 49th Parallel", a CD of all Canadian songwriters. There are two beautiful Siberry tunes on that recording. Thanks for the notice about these recordings! Rick Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks for that Rick. I'm still struggling to actually classify her musical style as I slowly work through her back catalogue; but certainly enjoying her. I hadn't worked out she was Canadian. Actually her website has very little information on her in terms of biography unfortunately. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience...

BobH Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Certainly different, at least to me. Well worth a listen. Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I have wondered if "Different" should be a genre in iTunes! Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience...

diw Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Not to be at all morbid, but I once specified in a will that I wanted a Jane Siberry track played at my funeral ( there was a box to fill in so why not? )....not so much different as achingly beautiful...and I echo the reference to her fellow Canadian KD....and all for free download ! So I've caught up on the recent releases and thanks for the tip....

Mister Wednesday Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Audio_Elf, If you find you like Jane Siberry's music from listening to her (downloaded) albums you might want to invite her over to your house to play live for you: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/music/is-jane-siberry-in-the-house/article1556528/ Regards, Mister Wednesday Link to comment
baxtus Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Jane - "Achingly beautiful" indeed and "different" is what makes life worth it. Never been so keen on KD - so close to singing "in tune" but not quite there - irritating! Link to comment
