They say love should be loved again, you just have to wait.
A cure is on the way.
They say love can ́t be owned or it can ́t be claimed.
Give up what you cannot have.
Bugger!
This is one of those haunting tracks that subtly creeps its way into your subconsciousness and nags you with the truth. Don’t you just hate that!? So much easier to delude oneself with inaccurate perception and self protection.
If you’ve ever entered the holiday season post break-up you know what it’s like - The Staves delivered a brilliant take on it last year - but Liebeskid’s interpretation is far less comforting and far more direct.
There’s that period when love is dying, when the reciprocal partner has gone and all you’re left with is the dull throbbing pain of the void. It’s the time when you can’t imagine ever loving again, when the obvious solution is to shut yourself away and self-medicate until you can’t feel anything - ever - again…
To be going through it during the holidays, when most other people are gleefully throwing themselves into office parties and furtive romances - well - it just kinda drives the knife in doesn’t it.
No palliatives from me today - I know what it’s like and no amount of “you’ll get through it” - or “ this too shall pass” - makes any difference. My advice, go home, curl up, pour a glass of whatever works for you and put this track on repeat.
Allow the music to wash over you,
Allow yourself to feel the emotion,
Hear Liebeskid as she sings,
A cure is on the way,
You’ll just have to wait…

About the Curator - Andrew McCluskey
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 be creative and brilliant 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 the founder of musicto I’m on a mission to inspire a global audience of music lovers and artists through the development of people powered playlists.

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…
