Tides of Tilian

One of the best days of my life was one in which I was introduced to the music of the great Mr Tilian Pearson. I am so happy to share this love.

His (former) band, Tides of Man, is what I like most. The lyrics are insanely good - he is one of the best songwriters I have ever come across. Their alternative rock sounds are really easy to fall in love with, it touches your soul in such a deep way - I still feel it every time I listen to them.

Their 2 albums differ so much, each bringing something incredible to the table. "Dreamhouse" is very easy to relate to, with songs about life and love. The second album, "Empire Theory" is really something great. Songs about war and mercy and so on - simply superb writing.

Sad but true is the fact that Tilian left Tides of Man in 2010. He has done and is currently doing vocals for Saosin, Dance Gavin Dance and also a quite decent solo album - 'Material Me'. Though this album is not exactly my taste (a little too pop-ish for me) I can't help but admire his work. Again, songs so well written and quite catchy tunes - you just can't not love him.
