Wondering sixth street in the middle of the day during spring break was a cool experience. From hardcore metal to soft piano music, I am pretty sure I heard it all. One band that stood out to me was Jared and the Mill. They weren't playing in a bar or venue, this 5 guy band set up on the street with guitars, base, and I think I remember a banjo or a mandolin. I listened to probably about 5 songs and immediately fell in love with their lyrics and their sound. All of their songs vary in pace and mood and it's awesome. One lyric that has carried with me is from the song "Breathe me in": "I'm sure I have a purpose but my mind has drawn a blank" or something along those lines. I think I remember it mainly because it is so applicable and relatable. Which goes back to your point that we like music we can relate to. Some other lines that I liked were "My friends and I make fun of things that we don't understand" (also from Breathe Me in), "I thought the road less traveled was the one that paid the least" and "I preach to those who hate my tongue." I thought those were all very interesting and thought provoking lyrics and I really like that about Jared and the Mill.
Anyway, these guys are awesome. I'm pretty sure if you heard them you would be like yes, Kendall would definitely like this. Just because they are kind of similar to the Avett Brothers and other bands I listen to. I was not expecting to find a band that just set up randomly for free that I would like so much as to listen to them weeks after I saw them live. And I think tha
Im sure I have a purpose but my mind has drawn a blan
it's a shame to think youd give me another single day
My friends and I make fun of things that we dont' understand
i thought the road less traveled was the one that paid the least
the winds are at my back and the sails don't seem to give slack let the birds fly north bc the time wont ever last and the winds are at my back
behind me lies a lie
Given more than what you got can get you killed
Preaching to those who hate my tongue, I'm a man that's brave and youn
