Part 25 – Given Circumstances

22 May 2018

Before I know it, it’s the week of performances of “Darkheart.”

The Sunday before the Thursday opening night, I’ve spent the afternoon with Biggles and his band.  

‘They sound fab. Really professional. A bit loud perhaps?’

How could my youngsters compete? They’d surely be drowned out?

Infinity (888) [Ft. Joey Bada$$) – XXXtentacion

22 May 2018

Infinity sees XXX and Joey join forces once again. However, unlike the prior joint efforts, they’ve produced something that sounds absolutely timeless.

This song infuses jazz characteristics alongside traditional boom-bap percussion. The resultant is a song filled with a soul-bearing saxophone melody, a beautiful guitar riff and an infectious drum-line.

Seersucker Dress – Stephen Babcock

22 May 2018

 Latest submission to the playlist this week comes in from New Yorker Stephen Babcock.

With the arrival of his latest E.P “Fiction”, it’s been a hard choice to select just one track for the list – and definitely encourage listening from front to back, but today I’m show casing “Seersucker Dress” a personal favourite…

Beyond the Sun – Imagined Herbal Flows

22 May 2018

I’ve had enough of trying to Save the World! this week. I mean, I’ve been putting in some serious hours in this silly little thing we call life, and now I’m ready for some maximum chill time. 

The Glasshouse with Butterfly – Tomáš Dvořák

22 May 2018

More original instrumental music from really good independent games this week. We’re going to have a look at some atmospheric and experimental sounding electronic music. The Glasshouse with Butterfly by Tomáš Dvořák is a track from Amanita Design’s Machinarium…

Flute Loop (feat. Ouici) – Keys N Krates

21 May 2018

Jellyfish go through 4 distinct phases of life to complete our “life cycle.” We start as a larva, then develop into a polyp, sometimes forming colonies and sharing a stomach with our little brothers and sisters. We each break free eventually as an ephyra and then develop into an adult medusa.  

Kishikaisei – WagakkiBand

21 May 2018

Last 5 tracks of this top 40 of Open Another Door and I can’t skip something that most of the music industry skips, all the music coming from the east.

I grew up watching anime and heard them in many languages, but something amazing is the masterpieces they create and never appear on the charts. For example this guys, WagakkiBand. 

Cold Little Heart – Michael Kiwanuka

21 May 2018

Have you ever watched a flower bloom? The anticipation every day that today might be the day it opens up to show its true colors, leaves us in a state of hope. We have seen flowers in full bloom before so we understand the reward for waiting, and more often than not we are left in awe of their beauty. Flowers can be tricky though, some require constant care and a perfect climate so we spend a lot of time tending to them, nurturing them so they may be seen by the world in all of their glory. Humans can act the same way…

Wasted Time – Eagles

18 May 2018

This is a slow building rock song by some of the greatest voices in vocal entertainment, the Eagles. It is about the feeling you get after spending years of your life on someone’s love: was it all worth it?

Starting Over – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ben Bridwell

17 May 2018

“Being human hurts. We try so hard to avoid this fact…”

I was reading the other day this blog entry from a doctor called Lissa Rankin, someone I admire very much and consider a very wise person. She was talking about how we tend to avoid pain constantly and it always ends up being worse for us,…

Here I Come – Dennis Brown

17 May 2018

Dennis Brown’s smooth vocals never fail to set me at ease. The tone and positivity he emits, along with his subject matter, has made him my favorite reggae vocalist. This opinion was also shared by Bob Marley himself, who gave him the title, “the crown prince of reggae.”…
