Leave Me Here, Half Acre
by Hem

I thought I would try something different in my new Music section and name a favorite single of the week on my “New Music Thursdays.” For another twist this week, it’s actually two songs, as it was a tough call between them. Available on iTunes are two beautiful pieces by Hem, an artist I addmittedly hadn’t heard of before stumbling upon a thoughtfully titled “Sunday Sunrise” iMix. Leave Me Here and Half Acre remind me of the popular song Breathe Me from the Six Feet Under soundtrack. However, both Hem songs have a distinct Fiona Apple sounding female vocalist with a gorgeous piano and string backdrop, with the occasional flute to carry the song from verse to verse. Though not listed in the iMix mentioned, “Half Acre” and “Leave Me Here” definitely fit a no-rush Sunday sunrise setting — one of those mornings where you have nothing to do and plenty of time to do it.
