indie-rock, dream-pop

I've been working on writing a children's book for a class and it involves a lot of poetic language and dreamy scenes. To get in the right writing-mood I listen to the Trespassers William album. Below is a clip of the band live in Paris playing "Different Stars". I first heard it on the movie "A Love Song For Bobby Long" (a wonderful movie!) and fell in love with it immediately.



Curious about the name Trespassers William? The duo got it from a Winnie the Pooh tale: Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle by A.A. Milne.

"Next to [Piglet's] house was a piece of broken board which had: "TRESPASSERS W" on it. When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was his grandfather's name…short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one—Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers."
