Tune-yards (which I guess is technically written as tUnE-yArDs) is the solo project of New England’s Merrill Garbus. She recorded the whole album with a voice recorder and mixed it using some sort of downloadable shareware. Oh yeah, and she played every instrument on the album. The recording process definitely gives her tunes a raw sound, sometimes a little too raw, but it still works for me.
This song imparticular is considered to be the album standout and I think it’s because it highlights the versatility and power of Garbus’ voice. In the beginning, she starts out timid and falsetto. But as the song progresses, you notice that each time the chorus of “I could be the sunlight in your eyes, couldn’t I? Couldn’t I?” is repeated, its a little louder and more powerful than the time before. If you can get past the production quality (which I definitely can), this is a great little Thursday ditty.

I had a friend recently tell me how great tune-yards is. I should have listened, that would have been 6 more days I could have been enjoying this song. Thanks for the heads up.
