Three Tune Tuesday.jpg

Hello Hive Music Lovers!,

Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by ablaze@ablaze.

I like to share some music that I am listening to each week and this week we listen to 3 tunes from the great street performer Luke Hurley.


But first, for those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday.... to quote ablaze@ablaze :

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize.


After listening to The Verve in a previous #ttt post with some powerful lyrics, I also started listening to some of the great tunes by Luke Hurley. Whereas The Verve were singing that we are a slave to money, we have the first song from Luke that reminds us that We Are Not A Machine, we are human beings.

This was the first tune I heard from Luke and I really loved the huge build up and powerful, inspiring lyrics. The contrast from The Verve singing at Glasto and Luke on the street with people going about their business and he is producing this great piece of music is astounding.

There are a few recordings of this tune and in the end I have opted for this live version as it is one of my favourites.

The next song is another classic song from Luke that shows what talent that he has.

He produces a great sound with some clever lyrics and it is hard not to like this song.

The final tune is a real masterpiece and just blew me away with the awesome lyrics and guitar work.

The amazing concentration and passion comes through from Luke performing on this street and we can see the audience really enjoying it too.

I love musicians that do not follow the confines of the traditional music industry and Luke is for sure one of those, a true independent musician.

I haven't listened to many musicians from New Zealand, but am glad that I discovered Luke and his great music.

That wraps up my #ttt for this week. What have you been listening to?


The winner from last week's 5 LEN token giveaway will be announced next week as I cannot do the draw today.
