Lisa Hannigan
I woke up surprisingly early than usual today. With the lack of things to do at this time of the day, I chose to clean up and rearrange my computer files that has been cluttering my precious computer disk space just to find out that I do not have any feel good songs in my music folder to accompany me while I go about the task at hand.
With that in mind, I quickly hover to the internet and I soon discovered the beautiful and soothing voice of Lisa Hannigan.
Well, I do not know anything about her just yet, and it is not really usual for me to delve deeper on my current favorite bands’ personal lives, except for the fact that she is an Irish songwriter and multi-instrumentalist; a fact which alleviated her and her beauty on a much higher pedestal than her other counterparts, if there is anyone by the way.
Some of her songs from her debut album Sea Sew had not been an instant love at first hear kind of thing for me but those had instead just grew eventually in me as I listen to her while I indifferently just let the second hand of the clock ticked by too quickly.

Her ethereal song Lille may not have entirely captured my liking but Ocean and a Rock and Pistachio surely did. Venn Diagram follows in close second, topping the two other mentioned songs, for that sweet and inviting Ah ha! that fills in the atmosphere after every verses and mainly because of the fact that she named the song Venn Diagram, which is something of a phrase that I could relate with quite well. I love how she had produced something artistic and beautiful from something so mathematical.
But of course, who could forget the sweetest song of hers? I Don’t Know may have been that one, single song from the album that is playable in the radio and is easy to be liked and loved by many but the wide reach of the song does not, in any way, alter my impression on it. I just could not blame the song nor the people who had grown an unusual attachment towards it, like I did. I don’t know about you but I Don’t Know is definitely my instant pick-me-up as for the moment.
I could not seem to share with you here the official video of the song due to some embedding option alterations made by the one who owns it but you could just go to YouTube or Vimeo to watch it. The video is so cute and artsy.
There are times that I could see a Regina Spektor or hear a subtler version of Bjork from her but all in all, she has her own unique ways that would surely leave you wanting to listen to her songs over and over again and looking forward to her future creations.
You could also visit her MySpace here http://www.myspace.com/lisahannigan
or visit her official website by clicking the image I made below.
I Just got inspired by the abundance of stitching, patches and a whole lot of sewing related materials found in her website and album artwork. =)
