– Pour a daydream in a cup
Last night I had the awesome pleasure of seeing Oren Lavie play at Hotel Cafe. Not only is HC an intimate setting to see musicians play, but sitting in the front row there essentially puts you on stage with the band, almost like you’re sitting in during a living room session.
The place was hushed during his set, you could hear a pin drop… everyone waited to hear each delicate note and lyric. My friend Jonathan and I sat at the edge of our seats watching each musician in the band play along with Oren with the same pensive look and love for the music… it was really amazing.
You have probably seen Oren’s music video that went viral on the internet a few months ago, it was also nominated for a Grammy in the Short Form Music Video category (sadly it did not win the night before last)
All of the songs he played were lovely and haunting, the melodies delicate, and each song manages to linger in the air… really spectacular to witness..
You can hear some of his songs on Oren Lavie’s Myspace
Or you can head over to Amazon / iTunes and buy the record The Opposite Side of the Sea
