I first saw this song
posted on another blog (JK JK),
and I followed the advice to “take a moment and breathe this in.” This song really is just…so simply
beautiful. The original is also really good, I just have a soft spot for
acoustic versions. I did a little digging (read: did 1 Google search) and found
the band’s official website, which loads to a full window video of their song
“Little Numbers”.
This song and video are SO CUTE, and I now officially adore
this band. I mean, who doesn’t love a video montage of beaches, miniature
pianos, children playing with chalk, and lots of sunshine, all set to a cheerful tune
about “all the pretty things that we could do”? I also found that this
Swiss-German duo, made up of singer Valeska Steiner and accompanist Sonja
Glass, writes all of their songs in English, a fact that I love because the
lyrics of the two songs I’ve mentioned are simple, playful, and leave you
wanting more.
I’m no expert at
articulating in words how I feel about music, but I do know to say that this
band’s sound has definitely caught my attention. Two uniquely beautiful women
making uniquely beautiful music…what’s not to love?
