#7 Hundred Waters - "Murmurs"

Gainesville's Hundred Waters return with their second Top 25 song, a feat that always seems to happen each year. Last year 6 bands had more than 1 song in the Top 25, 2012 saw 3 more bands reach that number and 2011 had 4. This year only this band can claim 2 spots in the Top 5% of the list!

"Murmurs" is a haunting love song that singer Nicole Miglis pleads "I wish you could see what I see". As chorus repeats building up to the end until she claims "now our holy light is blowing out". It's the first song I heard from Hundred Waters and it hooked me instantly. It spent 3 weeks at #1 on the weekly chart and also landed on in Pitchforks Top 100 of 2014 at #91.

Watch the video and please tell me if you can make sense out of it!
