Free Ascent – Flow

18 April 2018

I realize that I can’t just run with one track from this stunning album – so in the spirit of helping you flow into your writing – here’s a second song from Flow The Group.

It’s the fourth track on the album and normally follows behind our featured track of the month – Flow.  Whereas Flow is all underlying energy and movement – Free Ascent is all about space, time, pause for thought and stunning sonic landscapes…

See time passes by those who tend to procrastinate and not get their daily goals accomplished. The first verse was just a major play this shyt over again Bullet holes thru the pillow case who slept to death? Not Me..

Guilty Party – The National

17 April 2018

The National are no strangers to writing deep emotional songs, but on this recent single from their latest release they capture feelings not only with lyrics but instrumentation. The minor piano riff that starts the song alone brings heavy feelings and when singer Matt Berninger begins singing everything blends together…

Have You Ever Seen The Rain – Creedance Clearwater Revival

17 April 2018

CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) was only together a short time compared to other rock groups, but during that time period, they wrote songs that defined the revolutionary 60s and the transitioning 70s. One of their hits, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” from their 1970 album Pendulum is full of pain, reflection and wisdom…

What They Do – The Roots

17 April 2018

The Roots were one of the first groups to celebrate the intersection of hip hop and jazz, back in the late 1980’s. 

You got musicality (they’re a band!), you got Black Thought, you got lyricism, what else can you ask for?

These guys know what they do…

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.

Tired – Chlo Subia

17 April 2018

It is common to experience a broken heart during the teen years.  It’s almost a rite of passage to becoming an adult. The experience allows you to discover that there are people you love, people you hate, and sometimes both. Working through the pain, mending your heart, and loving again… that makes us human, and that strengthens the soul…

Did It Snow in Brampton Last Night? – Kendora

17 April 2018

As a jellyfish who generally inhabits colder waters, people often ask me this.  When it snows on the ocean, does it ever stick?  Does your home become like a salt-water slushy?  The answer, of course, is yes.  The ocean itself can also freeze.  I know I was welcoming the arrival of spring only 2 weeks ago, but there has been a bit of a turnabout back into winter where this jellyfish stays…

Say Nothing – Lil Fame

17 April 2018

Twenty-five years ago, M.O.P. asked “How About Some Hardcore?” They have been offering it ever since. Lil Fame and Billy Danze appear to have one of Rap’s strongest group bonds. The Brownsville, Brooklyn duo has remained intact through the independent grind, mainstream recognition surrounding 2000’s Warriorz, and fruitless tenures that followed, both at Roc-A-Fella and G-Unit Records, respectively.

No Pity — BADTALKERS

17 April 2018

This song is a departure from the good feelings of norm. This song is a shining in a dark room, this song is dressed to the nines and a sip of expensive champagne. This song is several bottles of expensive alcohol empty, the smell of cigarettes, and fingers through your lover’s hair.

Youth – The Brocklebank

17 April 2018

Lewis Hawkins, lead guitarist for the band The Brocklebank, submitted this track and I’m really excited for everyone to hear it!

In his own words:

“Our track ‘Youth’ epitomizes what this playlist is all about. It’s the fear and uncertainty of growing up, and doing everything you can to preserve the naivety of being young. The song documents a period where I was feeling lost, stranded in the void between childhood and adulthood…
