Day 11: Candidate - Mountain Snow (2004)
A gem of a single from the gorgeous 'Under The Skylon' album, full of warmth and melody. I always compare them to a folkier Beta Band in the hope of hooking a few more people into becoming devotees...

Act II: Genre & Tropes.
Day 10: Film Noir – a moody, jazz-influenced, or 'rainy street' track.

Day 11: Her vocals are superb on this, coupled perfectly with a smouldering trumpet part from Mark Isham.
"Could somebody tell them
To hurry on, hurry on down?
Could somebody tell them
To hurry on, hurry on?"

Day 11: The Training Montage – the ultimate song you’d play while preparing for a big challenge.

Day 10: Amerie - 1 Thing (2005)
It's this percussion that got me trippin'...

Act II: Genre & Tropes.
Day 9: The Spaghetti Western – a song with 'outlaw' energy or whistling and twangy guitars.
From Ecuador via Switzerland. No direct link to spaghetti westerns other than... Damn, it's twangy!
Hermanos Gutiérrez - Lágrimas Negras

And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?”
“My God, what have I done?”
