  • When we first heard Leif Vollebekk's latest album New Ways we immediately fell in love with it. It offers a sense of warmth and familiarity at first listen, with the universal theme of love (both lost and found) being its driving force. The Canadian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist performed a handful of songs from the record on his recent visit to KCRW.
    Set List:
    0:00 Apalachee Plain
    4:40 Blood Brother
    10:30 Hot Tears
    16:19 Transatlantic Flight

    It’s so easy to feel his music run through you. So smooth, so beautiful, so much soul. Leif is definitely a unique artist and we need more like him.

    For the betterment of humanity, this should have millions of views. Phenomenal.

      I feel that it has more value when someone doesn't have millions of views, if you know what I mean. It makes me feel that I've "discovered" someone rare and unique and non-commercial. I often prefer these artists.

      @@temporarydive So true. I suspect if he a million followers or whatever I wouldn't even pay attention. Heard him first with Angie and want to hear more from that point on.

    This man lives and breaths music. You can see how deeply he feels the music.
    The audio on this video is amazing, captures the warmth and resonance and subtle details.
    Excellent camera work and video editing.
    Kudos to the KCRW team.

      Recently listened to an interview with Lief on the Basic Folk podcast. He has synaesthesia and experiences sound or music as a visual image. So lives and breaths music is a metaphor, but he definitely feels music.

    New Waves EP released just now with three of these KCRW recordings! Along with a few other great live tracks. So happy. Many thanks to KCRW for this gem of a recording, I've listened to it countless times.

      It helps when you have a singer who never misses. I mean, i've watched 4 different live versions of Elegy and he sounds just like the recording every time. He probably did it in one or two takes.

    Songtext:
    Coincidence is piling up,
    Don't know if it's a sign
    Sometimes you got no choice in the matter
    You gotta
    Shake the tree of time
    You see I finally found another
    That I'd like to introduce
    Do you know what I'm thinking,
    Can you tell me who I am
    Do you think that I am doomed?
    You're my blood brother
    What am I gonna do?
    You're my blood brother
    She's just like me and you
    I really fell hard for you baby,
    I won't fall for that again
    With my mind twisted and turned in all directions
    Til I don't know who I am
    You know your lips when they kiss me
    It's like a gun against my skin
    But if ever they cut you down with a dagger,
    Only I would feel it going in
    She's my blood brother
    What am I gonna do?
    She's my blood brother
    What am I gonna do?
    My life is on the radio,
    They're saying it's a dream
    I can tell that the lights are fading
    But it's just a change of scene
    You know sometimes it's like I'm weightless
    And it's just like I ain't here
    In fact for my next performance,
    I'm gonna plain disappear
    She's my blood brother
    It's just like I ain't here
    She's my blood brother
    I'm gonna plain disappear
    She's my blood brother
    It's just like I ain't here
    She's my blood brother
    I'm gonna plain disappear
