Deeply – HIRVM
La primera canción que escuché de HIRVM es en sí la canción que he seleccionado para ésta semana, se llama “Deeply” y literalmente es una canción con Piano que transmite paz, tranquilidad y enfoque.
Anenome- The Brian Jonestown Massacre
You can feel the uncertainty of the year gone by through the songwriting and definitely with the lyrics – delivering a dreamy, what the fuck 2020, that almost allows you stand on the balcony next to Hood.
La Dispute – Yann Tiersen
The song of the week is one of Tiersen’s darkest tracks: “La Dispute”. He says this piece “is about extreme violence, blood, death and the strange state of shock you feel in the moments after something horrible has happened”, however people might think “it’s a romantic thing to listen to on a date”.

Runaway – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Karen O’s haunting voice is a wonderful companion for a night like this, cold and silent. “Runaway” is a song that pierces time like a bullet, allows a poignant feeling to go right through your chest and attach to your mind like one of its most important memories…
Great Divide – American Television
