I Can’t Make You Love Me – Bonnie Raitt

by

Provided by the rather talented Jeff Mallow, in his own words:

“Well the first song that comes to mind is Bonnie Raitt doing I Can’t Make You Love Me If You Don’t. Not sure that it was her song originally but she destroyed it in the best possible way.”
— Jeff Mallow - Composer

I've had this on repeat while I build this page - I didn't know the track before Jeff recommended it.  

If someone could unlock the formula behind what makes a classic..., we'd all be screwed!

This is a beautiful song.

Jeff Mallow is a composer of music for film, Television and Advertising.  Past works for NBC, American World Pictures, National Geographic, Universal Networks International, SyFy...

Quick note from the Musicto team - If you get a chance to work with Jeff, do it.  Andrew was lucky enough to work with him for a year or so..., he's a cat.

What’s the point? You ever find yourself asking that? The point of this playlist is to bring succor to people who are grieving. That’s it. We listen to and feature songs that we hope people can resonate with and perhaps elicit a cathartic release – at the very least – to help them feel less alone…

It’s still September. We’re still talking about Suicide. We’re doing this because the experts tell us that the more we talk about it – the more we bring it into the open – the less likely it is that people will go through with it. And yet – people still do…

Yep – if you didn’t know – September is Suicide Awareness Month – it’s also National Suicide Prevention Month and in fact right now – between the 8th and the 14th – it’s actually National Suicide Prevention Week. If you are in any doubt as to the impact suicide has on society – spend a minute here: Suicide Statistics – the rate inches up every year – and as a middle aged white male – well – I’m slap bang in the highest risk group…

The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the Dark Forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top, they would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.

As a psychology graduate I studied how sound affects human performance.

As a musician I compose instrumental music that stimulates your brain but doesn't mess with your language centers, leaving you free to write creatively without distraction.

As a curator I research how music can improve your life and create flow - I can tell you what music to listen to when studying for a test and why listening to sad music can make you feel better.

As a creator / contributor at musicto I believe that music can make the world better.
