"A superb compilation." -- Performing Songwriter Magazine"Other Songs And Dances collects a superbly accomplished handful of musicians, and the outcome could pass as the cinematic score to an art-film. Eleven artists share in this project, and all 12 tracks are breathtaking and full of charm." -- Black and White Magazine

"Planned as a movie soundtrack but ended up a collection of songs that pushed artists to take creative risks." -- Anchorage Daily News

"Other Songs And Dances, Volume One is ample proof that beautiful music.can be literate, experimental, creative and complex." -- KUMM RADIO".a sort of musical novella, delicately held together by the softest strands of love, loss, pain and regret" (rated 8 out of 10) -- Foxy Digitalis"A marvelous compilation." -- Schallgrenzen, Radio Tonkuhl GERMANY"This production was honestly thought of as a body of work meant to flow.I recommend picking up this disc for the ensemble achievement that it is." -- Stave Magazine

".a magical journey for a music listener with a seasoned ear and the perfect gift for a top 40 radio junkie looking for more, looking for an escape from the endless monotony and looking to discover a whole new musical world of inspiration to life." -- Audio Blood Magazine"Other Songs & Dances - with it's quality tracklist, is hard to beat" -- Artists & Bands"The music is hauntingly beautiful. If you are in a melancholic mood, this is just the tonic." -- KZUM RADIO



"A very interesting, viral and connected project." -- Indie-Eye ItalyThe compilation as art-form. We can all remember sitting for hours

carefully composing the perfect mix tapes for melancholy days, summer night

driving and new love.



There's something about telling stories -- your story -- with songs. Some

melodies seem like freedom and sometimes a passing lyric can tell us volumes

about who we are, were - or would like to be.



Movie soundtracks are only a short step away from these ideas. The music can

tell you the stories behind the story - the way the air feels, the rage, the

blank stare and the as-yet-invisible shred of hope that may be around the

corner. What were our mix tapes but attempts to find the soundtrack to the

movie of our lives? This is a movie soundtrack for that film we are all

still writing.



We imagined a thousand times how a small smile could appear when that first

song confessed our love. We sped up the car to make the dotted lines match

the rhythm of a song. We sat and looked out the rainy window at the people

passing by and tried to soak in the total immersion of the moment.



We loved it when the repeat function came to CD players. And we still love

it when an album feels like it takes you somewhere and tells you a story.

When the first song opens a door and the last one gives some sense of

closure to a story told in-between.



Almost every songwriter has a couple of favorite songs showing other facets

of their musical selves that, for one reason or another, seem to exist

outside of what they're usually known for or regularly express. These other

songs are the basis for this collection -- a chance for music without a home

to meet music born in other contexts that come together to sketch the

framework of a new storyline.



There is a moment when anything seems possible. There is, of course, love.

There is a moment where it all might go wrong. There's a beginning and an

end - and there are other songs and dances.



Backlight Records presents Other Songs and Dances, Vol. 1 - a soundtrack for

the movie we are all still living.
