As most of you would know by now, I have a habit of sharing music under AOTW (Artist Of The Week) which…well, disappeared for many weeks. Now that I’m over the other side of the Great Firewall, it is even harder to find the videos to share ! But let’s try to pick it up again by starting with something I’ve shared in my Facebook group “Myy #nowplaying” ! Feel free to join and share good music with the rest too! (purely English and preferably not too mainstream too please!)

Adam Stidham is the mastermind behind Civalias, a solo project that started off in California. The sounds of Civalias are both engaging and infectious. A tinge of Aqualung and Radiohead in his music but that’s probably why I am drawn to it. Check out his other track “We’ve Got Company” that I really like from his EP “You, Me, We” too!

Civalias – Something Real

Oh, don’t let this go, don’t turn your head
If there’s something left to show
Hold it in your arms and in your fingers
‘Til its strong enough to know

We can run and break the stillness
One by one- can you feel it, can you feel it
And we can live without the worry
‘Cause we survive on something real

We walked on wires, through the burning fire
Just to prove that we belong
And oh, still in my head, a rising choir
And it goes on and on and on, singing

Oh, and its never gonna let me go
Its calling out my name, and washing me away
Oh, no its never gonna let me go

And what to doubt, can’t figure out
And I’m still waiting

And we can run and break the stillness
Can you feel it, can you feel it
My heart is a long long road to you
And we survive on something real (2x)
