DSD February 9, 2018: "Golden October" - All the Luck in the World
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear. If you enjoy the track, please share it, so we can keep on talking about great new music
Golden October - All the Luck in the World
Wrapping up this week on the Daily Song Drop we have the first single off of Irish folk band (as in a folk band, originally from Ireland) All the Luck in the World's upcoming sophomore album A Blind Arcade.
Check out "Golden October" below:
"Golden October" has all of the hallmarks of a really great indie folk song right off the bat: it features the beautiful use of acoustic guitar to accompany the soft, heartfelt vocals, but then allows itself to go on a journey. The addition of strings is a perfect choice for adding emotional depth to the track, and by the time the full musical swell, and flashes of harmony crash into you, you're (if you are an indie folk fan) thoroughly hooked. I have found myself listening to "Golden October" on repeat for most of the day today, and I will be surprised if it does not hook a few of you, dear readers, too.
The best news I can give you, if you are looking for more All the Luck in the World is that you will not have to wait long for A Blind Arcade (with the release expected at the end of the month) but you an also check out either their first, self-titled album, or a couple other singles from this new one, like "Landmarks" and "Contrails"
As promised, here are the January 2018 Apple Music Playlist, and the January 2018 Spotify Playlist for the Daily Song Drop. It seems like we are starting off the month with the traditional "one song is missing" (that being "Board It Up" by Nekokat), but all in all it's a pretty fun list to start the year off!
Plus it was not the usual soul-murdering December/January blended list that always drove me nuts every year with its' "two months" of songs to try and fit together.
Who does that?
Anyway: as always, you can also check out the January Spotify List here:
ICYMI (somehow) here are the December Apple Music Playlist, November Apple Music Playlist, October 2017 Apple Music Playlist, September 2017 Apple Music Playlist August 2017 DSD Playlist July 2017 DSD Playlist, June 2017 DSD Playlist, May 2017 DSD Playlist DSD Playlist - Apr 17, DSD Playlist - Mar 17 , and there's also one kicking around for DSD Playlist - Feb 17 too!
Not to mention the fact that we totally also have a June '17 Spotify List, a July '17 Spotify List, an August '17 Spotify List, the September 2017 Spotify Playlist, October '17 Spotify Playlist, November Spotify Playlist, and December '17 Spotify Playlist too!
If you're looking for me to add these lists somewhere beyond Apple Music and Spotify (or you want some of the old lists on Spotify), you're going to have to convince me (hard) by chatting with me here, or on Twitter
If you're looking for more great music, are late to the party, or just want more theguysfrom.com in your day, here are a few other playlists:
Apple Music TGF Top 50 Songs of 2017
Spotify TGF Top 50 Songs of 2017
Apple Music Playlist for the Top 20 Songs of 2016
There are other (earlier) playlists available for you if you check older "Tuesday Tunes" articles, or search on Apple Music itself.
See you again next week with another new song!
