David Tattersall of the Wave Pictures recommends… “I Believe You” by Freschard

“My favourite song of 2008 was recorded by a friend of mine, Freschard. She doesn’t have a record label right now, but you can hear her on Myspace of course. The song is very beautiful. It is a sad song, but at the same time one that makes you feel less alone. The vocal is high in the mix, which I like, so that it feels like the singer is speaking directly to you. It has three chords in it: G, A-minor and C. The change from G to A-minor is sad, while the change to C is uplifting. Those three chords roll around and around. If I was hearing this song for the first time on the radio, I would stop what I was doing and listen, and I would be moved by it. It is emotional, simple and very real.”
