I am seriously obsessed with Angus and Julia Stone. Ever since a friend turned me on to this Australian brother-sister duo last fall, I've probably listened to them at least once a day. So when I had to choose only one song of theirs to post on this blog, I had a really really hard time because every one of their songs is unique and appeals to me in a different way. In the end I decided to go with "Just a Boy" not only because it's my personal favourite at this moment but also because I think the whimsical and cute video is a good representation of Angus and Julia (they co-directed it along with Josh Groom). However, if you like this song - or even if you're just curious to find out what it is about this band that's kept me hooked for the last 9 months - I strongly encourage you to listen to more of their music.
