Pictured: I really don’t know. There wasn’t a lot to choose from.

I’d like to think that there isn’t a thought process for writing songs like I Love You Sailor’s, but that a small group of unrehearsed friends just sits down and begins playing them. They all smile and turn their heads toward one another, nodding and widening eyes as each sweet melody and note pours out. It’s agreed upon, without having been said, that none of them tries anything too tricksy or overwhelming to the rest of the group. On the walls are pictures…no…paintings of clouds and oceans. They play for an hour until there’s the smallest inkling of boredom, and before the act gets tiresome they all get up and go outside.

I Love You Sailor - The City In Which You Live

The City In Which You Live is one of the most pleasing and simple songs I’ve heard in a good while. Sometimes those are the hardest to write about. Do your day a favor and listen to more of I Love You Sailor on their Myspace page. Thanks to Juliet at Horse Latitudes for the mp3.
