London Grammar just released a new album, "The Greatest Love" and on the heels of yesterday's overwhelmingly emotional song "Black Poppies" from Underworld (here), this stirring, empathetic song "You And I" is a standout.

"America" by London Grammar
From their most recent release: "America" by London Grammar (previously here).
Lead singer Hannah Reid wrote the song. "Ironically I kind of wrote it as a goodbye to all the songs that I thought I wouldn’t write because I wasn’t sure if I was really cut out for the [music] industry or… my own personal American dream," Reid told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. "So I remember writing that song, it just came out so quickly and I was crying at the piano and then I thought, you know, I’m just going to play it to the boys, but I don’t think I can make another album again. And I played it to the boys and then, sure enough, they played me something."
And I hope that you find it, all that you need
I hope that you stay young and wild and free
You'll have America
And I hope that you're better than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream
Hmm-hmm, hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
And see where I found you, where they all lay
All of the greats, they are here to stay
Here in America
And I hope that you're finding all that you are
I hope that it sets you up high
In the heart of America
Hmm, hmm
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
Hmm-hmm, hmm
All of our time chasing a dream
Hmm-hmm, hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
And all the parties they fade
And yes, my looks, they'll go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me

"Californian Soil" by London Grammar
Oh my, I really love this new song, "Californian Soil" by London Grammar. Fantastic instrumentation, great tune, and of course Hannah's voice is unique and lovely...and the sultry/melancholy "groove" of the song is amazing...

"Baby It's You" by London Grammar
Hoo-ray! New music from London Grammar! "Baby It's You" is a three minute song but it debuted on a live stream preceded by fifty-seven minutes of absolutely GORGEOUS ambient music...listen to the beautiful, floaty prologue and bliss out.

"Non Believer" by London Grammar
I do love London Grammar and Hannah Reid's gorgeous vocals, but this video is rather special in its narrative, as well...

"Oh Woman, Oh Man" by London Grammar
Aaaah. "Oh Woman, Oh Man," another lovely track from London Grammar. Taken from their new release, "Truth Is A Beautiful Thing" out June 9, 2017.
I can see that you're giving up
It should not mean that much to me
And I don't know where the rest go
But everybody's been telling me no
But I'll always have a thing for you
I'd move the earth
But nothing made you want me better
There is nothing I can do
But steal the moon
But nothing made you want me better
Oh woman oh man
Choose a path or a child
Great mirrored plans
Oh woman, oh man
Take a devil by the hands to
Yellow sands
And I can see that you're giving up
So tell me it should not mean this much to me
And I don't know where the rest goes
Everybody's been telling me no
But I'll always have a thing for you
I'd move the earth
But nothing made you want me better
There is nothing I can do
But steal the moon
And nothing made you want me better
Oh woman oh man
Choose a path or a child
Great mirrored plans
Oh woman, oh man
Take a devil by the hands to
Yellow sands
Woman choose your man
Do you really understand? (Oh)
Do you really understand?
Do you really understand?
Oh woman oh man
Choose a path or a child
Great mirrored plans
Oh woman, oh man
Take a devil by the hands to
Yellow sands
Woman choose your man
Do you really understand? (Oh)
Do you really understand?

"Big Picture" by London Grammar
Just released: "Big Picture" by London Grammar (previously here, here, and here). Just lovely...
Love, what did you do to me?
My only hope is to let life stretch out before me
And break me on this lonely road
I’m made of many things, but I’m not what you are made of
Only now do I see the big picture
But I swear that these scars are fine
Only you could’ve hurt me in this perfect way tonight
I might be blind, but you’ve told me the difference
Between mistakes and what you just meant for me
Don’t say you ever loved me
Don’t say you ever cared
My darkest friend was
Have you forgotten all the lies you left there so fresh
Turning old in the air
And now, you have no weapons
You can try to get close to those I love
Do you really think they don’t know what you’re made of
Only now do I see the big picture
But I swear that these scars are fine
Only you could’ve hurt me in this perfect way tonight
I might be blind but you’ve told me the difference
Between mistakes and what you just meant for me
Don’t say you ever loved me
Don’t say you ever cared
My darkest friend

London Grammar
I have been listening to these two songs on repeat for an hour or more now... can't get enough of this young English trio, fronted by one Hannah with an absolutely swoon-worthy voice.
Gorgeous.
*sigh*

Gorgeous.

Their EP "Metal and Dust" is available on the UK iTunes only... for now. I predict big things for these three.
