Already created a nice way to enjoy surfing, skating with indie sounds. Nothing better ending your day than a beautiful sunset, so in this case, you could use this as a perfect or almost perfect soundtrack. They are all fresh indie sounds, so give it a shot, let it play and enjoy. Don’t forget downloading the 8tracks app for your iphone or android, it will make it a lot easier.
Back with the fresh indie sounds, made that up with the fresh sounds I checked today, including a very great song by Happy Hands Club, perfect for your surf session and skate, also. There’s a great Bon Iver remix by Panama which brings a chilly sensation. The thing is, surf calms me down, ease my mind completely, if I’m having any possible concern going on, I can think and prepare a great strategy to resolve it better, doesn’t mean it will go away, but while you are there, sharing your energy, your soul with the ocean, you need to be respectful enough to leave it all in the sand, clarity, that’s what surf means to me, mental clarity. Great indie sounds coming up lads, will be creating new sets soon with all of them, check it out.
If you surf, you know how much surf can transform your mood, but having the perfect combination of before, after and during the surf session you can like any other activity get more and more appreciation, I made a simple list of 5 songs that I used to listen in the entire “script” of surfing. Since I get my board and get straight to the ocean with nothing but my shorts and board until I sit and watch the waves moving.
Of course I had to put Jack Johnson, he’s the myth of this music style, I can’t remember surfing without imagining the rhythm of any of his songs, check it out, consider it a bonus:
Back with the last 2 songs, yes, surf could be well enjoyed with a lil’ bit of indie.
And enjoy it..
Here’s a great singer and songwritter, with a classic surf style but in a acoustic style, Marc have been growing up in career, making a lot of fans around the world and more than that, creating awesome songs.
The lyrics concept is basically is the pure surf, waves, sunset, typical things of a surfer and also a surf fan. I listened all of his songs and there’s no doubt, he has a special talent and that’s why I’m sharing it. He has one album and you can buy it on iTunes, I’ll give you guys the official website, twitter at the end of the post.
Now, talking about the songs – What Marc said about his songs:
The Right Way: I grew up surfing this little spot called Blackie’s in Newport Beach, California. When the west swells filled in this winter-time break, there was no better place to be. There were so many evenings after class where I’d pull up just in time to slide in the water for a few last waves of the day. “The Right Way” reflects on these sessions.
The River: I really wanted to have fun with this song. I wanted to explain my feelings about my new house on the river. This was written just after I moved from Oahu back to Orange County and I couldn’t help but observe the extreme differences (and also similarities) between the two.
Mellow: This song, written while living in Hawaii, was a direct response to the Aloha spirit that the islands brought me. “Mellow” is a tribute to places where relaxation comes easy.
Democracy: Here’s my mockery of our Federal Government set to dub-reggae sounds. I just think it’s hilarious that this country takes pride in Democracy when we clearly have very little control over politics.
Memories: I recorded this song first on the album…it took me less than three hours to record it all, and I was super bummed-out the whole night I was recording, but we kept it because it showed the sense of loneliness I felt at the time.
Me and My Guitar: This track was recorded completely live, in one take. I wanted you to get the feeling you were locked in the little sound booth in the studio with me. If you listen closely, you can hear little imperfections that keep this recording raw and real. It talks about how everything else comes and goes, ebbs and flows, but my guitar is always there for me
Comin’ Up: We had what we thought was a complete studio album e.p. until I jumped back into the studio to record this song at the last minute. I was driving though San Clemente, California when I realized the amount of development that has destroyed the land in just the last 20 years.
Checking some covers of Jack Johnson, John Butler Trio and Tristan Prettyman I saw this dude playing: “Beautiful” (a girl singing too), alright, the video is pretty awesome but I’m talking about him ‘cuz he has surf in hobby and music style. His name: Mike Salisbury, in his youtube channel you can watch him playing songs by; Jimi Hendrix, G Love and another important fact, he’s a songwriter. It’s a great recomendation if you’re a surf lover and a surf music fan – you can download his cd on his website, enjoy it, mahalo.
