Music Spotlight: Madeline

Aug 07, 2010 59 Comments by

This week’s track is the 1.5-minute “I Left the Light On” by Madeline Adams, a folk artist from Georgia who sings and writes her own songs.

Her music style is airy and piercing at the same time; she sounds like Lily Allen if Lily Allen could sing an octave higher (as in “The Fear”).

[Madeline] I Left the Light On

Madeline’s technique, such as hand clapping and guitar strumming, is nowhere as complex as that of Rodrigo Y Gabriela, but her songs are addicting at first listen – so addicting that they subsequently transition to ear worms.

Full Lyrics:

I left the line on and it’s burning,
burning just for you, just for you
you phone just ain’t calling,
calling like it used to, like it used to
open the door and you’re running,
running away, away
I follow and I grab you, oh grab you
in a haze, in a haze

steering well the car is turning,
turning but the light’s red
but the light’s red
drive up to your building,
building don’t know what I did
I don’t know what I did

    The more the details one can comprise within a statement, the more helpful it becomes. I think you managed to stuff in all the important specifications, thus your piece of writing transmits not only simple information, but also great learning material. Good job, and don’t forget to keep up this consistency for your future writings as well!

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
