The song I have selected for the inaugural Friday Round-Up is a catchy little number called “Your Beauty is a Knife I Turn On My Throat” by Eagle Seagull off their self-titled album. This song has an upbeat Bowie resonance, the piano progression is classy as hell and the lyrics hit home. – Foote

Living in North Carolina exposes me to a lot of songs that have this acoustic, mellow, sentiment.  I love the background singer and one day hope to sing back ground vocals for an acoustic singer-songwriter (kinda kidding) – Bootsy

I’m not going to lie – Foote told me about this song.  But literally if you put this on in your car and crank up the speakers you can crash into a 7-11 and still have a smile on your face. – Frank
