The awesomest job in the world? Searching for songs to be played at the perfect moment for TV shows. I love my share of TV series, from Grey's Anatomy to Nashville, shows these days have an amazing team of people searching for up-and-coming artists and songs that match each love scene, break-up scene, and everything in between. Hart of Dixie is a corny TV show about a doctor who goes to work in a small town to find her roots and an entertaining crew of friends. Rachel Bilson does a good job playing the city-slicker gone country girl and her missteps and adventures are cute, at most. Although I may not watch the show for its gripping storyline or moving actors, the music is spot on in every episode. That's how I found this group- The Open Sea.
Although not a new band, and they've had their songs played on TV shows before, the two artists Ari Hest and Rosi Golan come together from their individual projects to collaborate on what is a simple, sensitive and sincere track called Keep Me Tonight. Their easy-going harmonies compliment each other at the most precise moments, a back and forth that begs for these two to become the most intimate of lovers. Yet, the love story isn't so simple and although the choruses are sung together, the verses are sung by each of them individually, a flirtatious melody line accented by beautiful mandolin solos.
Keep Me Tonight is from The Open Sea's EP Little Apple, released in 2010.
