Some songs sound so apropos, filled with a certain understated sense of importance. Brimming with a laid back conviction, "Just Because" is nothing out of the ordinary, but it certainly holds its own against a long lineage of alt country and Americana. Imagine the road-tested rock 'n' roll of Tom Petty mixed with the troubadour, rustic nature of a classic Johnny Cash tune. It's a great song about saving the whales and maintaining a sense of awareness and concern for our world.

Check out the video after the hop. It's perfectly aligned with the lyrics; it pulls them to the forefront and instills them with a certain weight as they become ever so poignant.


The price of "Just Because" is "name your own price," but keep in mind that a portion of the proceeds will go to the oil spill relief efforts.

Brooklyn's This Frontier Needs Heroes is brother-sister duo Brad and Jessica Lauretti.
