The song also features Brazilian guitar player\u00a0Gabriel Marques.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lovely piece that is reminiscent of an enchanting lullaby; employing soft lyrics, graceful piano keys, and delicate guitar strums throughout. The song is perfectly arranged as the peaceful quietude builds up to a vocally focused, choir-like serenade that is eloquently backed by powerful instrumentals.\u00a0After an\u00a0impressive bridge, the song beautifully quiets down again, with a fading piano. This track is one to get lost in, intensifying whatever it is that you&#8217;re currently feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to &#8220;Strange Jones&#8221; in its entirety below, and keep an eye out for The Quiet Celebrations&#8217; upcoming EP.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Strange Jones by The Quiet Celebrations\" width=\"980\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F286491720&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=980\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a lovely piece that is reminiscent of an enchanting lullaby; employing soft lyrics, graceful piano keys, and delicate guitar strums throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":16346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[575],"tags":[5218,5216,5217],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sj.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16342"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16342"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16356,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16342\/revisions\/16356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
