NEW VIDEO: David Gray's "Babylon" (Acoustic Cover)

When Boyce Avenue released this video, a friend of mine posted it on her Facebook Wall with the caption, "'If you want it, come and get it, for cryin' out loud'....is that an invitation??"  Haha, I know exactly how she feels.

I really love this cover.  Like, a lot.  I've always loved this song.  The story of the different phases one goes through after making a mistake in a relationship is depicted so well in the lyrics. Alejandro singing it just makes me love it even more.  It suits his voice SO well.

I really like the mood of this video.  The low light, the fact that it's just him sitting alone, adds to the loneliness of the song.  The acoustic is beautiful. He's really feelin' this one, and the moment when he really belts out the lyrics at the 2:46 mark is just..... *sigh* ....it's perfection.




I really just don't know what else to say about this cover.  I. LOVE.  IT.  It's just so mellow and relaxing.  This is how I love Boyce Avenue the best....their acoustic stuff is my happiest of happy places, musically speaking.  It has been added to my "Boyce Avenue Lullabies" playlist.  It will get a lot of plays.  ♥

"Babylon" is available on Boyce Avenue's New Acoustic Sessions, Volume 3 on iTunes.  Click here to buy it.

SPOILER: March 2012 USA Tour - VIP Meet & Greet Goodies

Boyce Avenue kicked off their Spring 2012 US Tour Thursday night in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and fans across the country are already talking about it. Word is, the guys have kicked off the tour with near-capacity crowds in Ft. Lauderdale and Jacksonville. Next up is a sold-out show in Atlanta, Georgia.





Fans who purchase the VIP Meet & Greet for this tour get a few minutes with the guys before the show for hugs (or handshakes), autographs and photos, an autographed poster (designed by guitarist Fabian Manzano), a commemorative lanyard, and early entry into the venue for the chance at a coveted front-and-center spot.  I got the VIP Meet & Greet in Seattle and Vancouver for the Fall 2011 Tour, and it was worth every penny!!

VIP Meet & Greets sell for $30.00 per person and are limited to 50 people per city.  Most of the cities are already sold out, so click here to get yours before they're gone!

PLEASE NOTE: VIP Meet and Greets are sold separately from tickets to the show. You must have a ticket to the show to be allowed into the venue for the Meet & Greet.

I got a sneak peek at the awesome goodies that fans get as part of the VIP Meet & Greet, and I gotta say, Fabian did an amazing job!! I can't wait to get mine!!
