The Rip Tide – Beirut
1 May 2018
This song was part of my life during one of the most difficult times, it was before I lived these last two months.
Going back in time to 2012 I was living something similar to what I lived these last two years, my father had to go through surgery to have a brain aneurism removed and my family and I had a very difficult time coping with the fear of losing him.
Daydreaming – Radiohead
23 April 2018
There had to be some Radiohead on our playlist, it was inevitable and long overdue, it was just indispensable to add to our playlist some of the music these great musicians from our time have produced.
Away the Sun – Gymnast
17 April 2018
This week we’ve got another track that was submitted to our playlist via the musicto.com website, it’s Gymnast’s Away the Sun.
With its soft tranquility and a very lovely female voice, Away the Sun is an awesome companion to those lonely reflective nights we all need every now and then.
Spooky Couch – Albert Hammond Jr.
10 April 2018
There’s a beautiful atmosphere to this song, it builds around a short segment with a lovely melody and starts bringing variations in texture and color, every time it begins again it continues to grow, without ever exceeding its own character, its own deep sense of peacefulness.
Eleanor Rigby – The Beatles
3 April 2018
It’s 1:18 in the morning, it’s been raining all day and all night in Bogotá, I don’t think I’ve stopped listening to the sound of the rain for more than an hour in the whole day, I’ve been home all day and have been adjusting to it feeling a lot more empty…
El Mañana – Gorillaz
26 March 2018
It was a couple hours after midnight, last Saturday. My father passed away in a hospital after two years of struggle with a very difficult disease. It was one of the worst moments of my life, completely unexpected for me and so difficult to handle that for a few moments I thought I would faint, I still haven’t fully understood the magnitude of the event, I still haven’t completely accepted I lost my father.
Enjoy The Silence – Depeche Mode
20 March 2018
This song, so beautiful that it has touched millions and so magical that it can shake your core on a special night, even after knowing it and loving it for many years.
On Friday I was lucky enough to go to the Depeche Mode concert here in Bogotá. It was a really unexpected thing, I really wasn’t sure I would be able to make it, the day had been really stressful and hard on me and I was feeling desperate and hopeless about so many things, important things, about the future in general and about my life and my family…
Night Owl – Metronomy
13 March 2018
There are nights when you can only feel sad, moments when you can’t find “positive” feelings to nourish from, when everything you feel is just some form of sadness, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, but just sadness.
Stargazer – JackLNDN
6 March 2018
I have a story to tell about this week’s track, it was submitted to us on the musicto website a couple of weeks back during a very hard time for me. For reasons too complicated to discuss life was feeling extremely rough and I was having really though days, feeling like everything was too much and I wasn’t always sure how I could endure.
Holograms – M83
27 February 2018
Sometimes the night just calls for you to lay down on the floor and watch the stars, the immensely beautiful sky and the majestic view of the small portion of that huge universe around us, sometimes a starry night can be one of the most memorable moments of life.
Plumes – PAVANE
20 February 2018
We are blessed to have great fans on this playlist, fans who send us beautiful music like this next piece, a great instrumental track which combines electronic and acoustic music, touched by the influence of European classical music.
Seasons (Waiting On You) – Future Islands
13 February 2018
Future Islands is a wonderful mixture of pure, raw emotion and beautiful sounds, a magnificent balance between good taste and expression coming from awesome synths and an amazing front man.
