Passenger – Let Her Go

The afternoon tune for today is for all you lovers out there:

“Well you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go”

Fronted by British folk-rock singer-songwriter, Mike Rosenberg, Passenger’s most successful single “Let Her Go” topped the charts in 16 countries. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 2009. If you feel like being nostalgic, moody, or just plain brokenhearted today, this song is for you.

Dusty Springfield – Son of a Preacher Man

We needed to take a little break from the awesome indie music we normally post and do a throw back to 1968 with Dusty Springfield’s groovy tune “Son of a Preacher Man.” The rights to cover the song was originally offered to Aretha Franklin who turned it down. Too bad as this was a huge hit in both the UK and America! Wednesday is Hump Day so turn it up, lean back, start snapping your fingers, and revel in the fact that the work week is halfway over!
