Yesterday we had a Bright Eyes song and there is a slight connection from them to this artist.... Maria Taylor has been one of the many guests on some Bright Eyes material and was also a former girlfriend of Conor Oberst. Maria Taylor was one half of 'Azure Ray' with Orenda Fink as the other member. They were also on Saddle Creek Records, so that is another connection with Bright Eyes. Azure Ray are another much played band here on Bitter FM. When they disbanded in 2004, they both went their own ways and collaborated with other artists etc. and started solo careers. "Time Lapse Lifetime" is from Maria Taylor's third solo album 'LadyLuck' released in 2009. It could possibly be her break-up album (from Conor Oberst) and this song has many lines that could be from the heart.... like "it was just like that, and just like that it's gone". This song has everything an almost perfect song requires.... beautiful heartfelt vocals, great percussion and excellent string arrangements that are subtle but manage to add so much to the song. Did I say it was an almost perfect song? Bollocks to that... it is perfect!
