Oasis

Hey friends.  Today's song comes from a Vermont-based band headed by soulful Grace Potter.  Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have been around for more than a decade, but have gotten quite a bit of attention in the last few years since signing with Hollywood Records in 2007.

I own their 2010 self-titled album and really like it's blend of soul and rock.  Grace Potter's vocals and passion as an artist are evident on each track of this album.  It really rocks.

So the song stuck in my head is the second track on the self-titled album, it's called "Oasis"

Here's a studio recording of the song that is more clear than the live version:

The song itself is about a person who's lost, perhaps stuck in a relationship, bad job, or just a lousy place, "lost in the desert" if you will.  The Oasis represents hope of finding solace in a desert.  It feels like a cliche, but works for this song.  Personally, I love it, especially the way the band breaks down for about the last minute of the song.

Not much else to say here.  I hope you like the song.

Hugs,
