MusicMonday: In Our Own Pretty Ways by First Aid Kit
As soon as I watched this video I was compelled to use it for #MusicMonday. It's what discovering new music is all about.
If you watch the opening you will learn that the young man, who I'm fairly sure is the love child of Elvis Costello and Woody Allen, has heard that First Aid Kit are playing down the road so he raced down to catch them just as they finished playing. They kindly play one more song just for him. And what a pretty little song it is.
Instead of a collage of Instagrams I am dedicating this song to Mamma Bird as it's her birthday today. I also think she will like this song and this band. I love and miss you Mum x
