As someone who's worked in music for a couple decades now, I'm always looking for music that moves me in some way. It's just the way I'm wired. Music is like air to me. I need it to live. That being said, when I find a band that consistently does that, I have to share it. Here is BlakLight. Their second album was just released tonight. Check them out. I hope you love them as much as I do.

White Lies are back with a fantastic new single!
"Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart"
