Steve Ison
 The Strangest Feeling
 "Steve Ison has such a subtle way of slipping in a well of insight. Such clean cut lyrics, but just messy enough to be cool and human. A simple charming, and lighthearted wisdom. A nostalgic sound resurrected in a newly brilliant, and original way" (Anjuli from ISONtopes-many thanks and love:) ) added to station 2/7/2009 2:10:01 PM 		alternative folk pop 2772

 I Was Alive
 I love this,maybe my favourite Sam song ever...Haunting magical accapella like the ghost of Johnny Cash returning to the great dusty plains from beyond to tell his tale.Its happy,sad,evocative,timeless and life-affirming all at the same time..Shows you really don't need any more than a voice to share the dream and touch people if you got a heartful of soul.. added to station 9/12/2008 7:08:37 AM 		No Genre 2772

 For You To Do That
 Neat American pop/rock song....Love the tympani drums on the chorus and the string break..Good songwriting..The chorus reminds me a little of I.A.C artist Woodstock Taylor-which is no bad thing..This is in a similar style but has loads more personality and better songwriting than alot of the generic American pop thats been clogging up the Big 50 here,so i'm suprised it hasn't been picked up on.. added to station 9/2/2006 1:02:50 PM 		Alternative 2772
