5.0 out of 5 stars I wish there were more music like this, July 24, 2004

The reason i started to listen to Teitur is because he was opening for John Mayer last year. He was so simple and his lyrics were so heartfelt....I fell in love with him instantly. I bought his album right after the show and i have been passing it around to all my friends and they love him too. He is just so great and once you start listening to this album you will just get hooked. My favs from this CD are ,You are the Ocean, I was Just Thinking and To See You. And if you fall in love with him like i did make sure that you try and catch a show because he is also great live. www.teitur.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime Beauty, November 18, 2004

I've heard Teitur compared to artists like John Mayer, but I have to say that, with all due respect, Mr. Mayer has NOTHING on Teitur.

That means no disrespect to John Mayer, who has some real talent hiding beneath his poppish sheen. Check out some of his earlier, acoustic work before 'Room For Squares' - it's really darn good.

But anyway, Teitur. This album is one of the greatest I've heard in the past four years, and it's one of the only new albums I've heard that I still listen to over and over again over a year after I purchased it. From the very beginning of "Sleeping with the Lights On", I am hooked - and I stay that way throughout the album. (with the exception of the uninspired 'Josephine' that acts as a real mood-killer.) You're the Ocean is an utterly phenominal song, and I recommend this album to anyone who likes driving at night and just letting the music take them along for the ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Simple, December 11, 2005

I saw Teitur about a year ago when he opened for John Mayer and was blown away. This CD is a perfect combination between haunting melody and moving ballads. He is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter. Lyrics are honest, yet simple, capturing what it is to be human; to want, to err, and to love...
