Derby City Scene


Louiville is for Lovers Vol. 9
Now Available on CD/Vinyl/Digital Download

Here are a couple of songs (and live video of one of said songs), from the Louisville is for Lovers Vol. 9 compilation.

First is "Same State" by The Fervor (this song also features Louisville great Dave Cronin, formerly of the band Follow the Train). These melodic brooders write achingly beautiful while equally heartbreaking odes to the most mysterious of the human conditions. There's stunning naivete to the wistful lyrics that forces this song to linger long after it's stopped playing.

And also a video of The Fervor performing "Same State" on WFPK's Live Lunch:



Second is "Joan's Song" by Teneia Sanders (who has one of the best voices in town). This is a gorgeous song about secret, unrequited love from one woman to another, in a time when such feelings were not widely accepted. It's brilliantly based on a character from the t.v. show Mad Men.
