Today’s song is “Quiet Girl” by My Autumn Amor. The Los Angeles-based songwriter also known as Thomas Monroe started his musical journey at a young age.
It began when his father put a microphone in his hand at 5 years old and made him sing along with the Beatles vinyl records. This corruption continued in elementary school in the form of gifts of Casio keyboards and low-budget guitars and amplifiers. Early vinyl adventures included David Bowie, T-Rex, Pixies, and King Crimson.
After Grade 9, Monroe left home with a suitcase, a guitar, and John Lennon – Plastic Ono Band (1971). Thomas spent 3 years in high school as a homeless teenager, at times literally singing for his supper. At other times not eating for days at a time. He is now a monthly contributor to UNICEF Guardian Circle children’s fund, and urges those who can to contribute. Even a few dollars per month can help deliver lifesaving food and medicine to hungry, homeless, and refugee children.
This is the title track off his latest 5 track release. This song evokes the likes of Bowie and The Beatles rock aesthetic. The slow-paced rock riffs layered with emotive vocals give it a heartwarming feel.
