When The Sun Explodes – The Muted
Make the most of life ’cause you never know
What’s around the corner, everything could go
A fear, a fear of the unknown
Don’t look behind, don’t think ahead
You never know when it could be said
One day, everything could go away…
Saari Raat – Noori (Coke Studio Sessions: Season 2)
It’s been over a month since I left India — the longest that I have been away from my country all my life. In my previous trips abroad, ‘home’ was not really very far away. The short vacation would be over and I’d be back to my old life. However, knowing that I will be away for the rest of the year has different connotations…
Evil Twist – TYCKO
September has arrived, and with it comes a brand new featured track – this month is all about ‘Evil Twist’ from Belgian duo TYCKO!
It takes a true Save the World! track to make the top spot on my list, and I think it’s safe to say that Evil Twist is just that…
Eylül Akşamı – Bülent Ortaçgil
Admittedly one of the best Turkish songwriters, Bülent Ortaçgil is the life jacket for the intellectual music listener. Over the years, getting more and more upset at being thought of as making peaceful songs, he combined his acoustic creations with his deeply thought, multi-layered critical lyrics and recorded with some of the best musicians in the country…
Carry Your Kin – Acoustic – The Breath
Carry Your Kin by The Breath appeared on the album of the same name in 2016. I have chosen the acoustic version, featured on the Carry Your Kin Acoustic EP. Ríoghnach Connolly sings with an old world patience, accompanied by Stuart McCallum on guitar. This is clean, crisp and very special…
Snake Song – Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
I feel like I’ve almost most come full circle with my track selection on a Million Miles.
While not every track has had country or roots’y bones – I found myself transcending through sub-genres, the odd classic and cover – for familiarity – but this week was an easy choice being a favourite…
The Ocean – Jackson Love
Music to apologize to – that’s what I’m calling this piece – The Ocean is the eponymous track from Jackson Love’s 5 track EP release this year – it’s bloody great music to write to – especially if you’re saying sorry…
Made for This – Elorah
We jellyfish were made for eating little fishes. That’s what we dream about. Though we aren’t really capable of dreaming or spiritual experience in the sense that you might understand, we do have desires…
Addis – OM
“Addis”, the third eye opening healer from OM’s 2012 “Advaitic Songs”. Verbally consisting of the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, it’s a perfect introduction to the spiritual pilgrimage to follow…
Someone to Stay – Vancouver Sleep Clinic
I believe in a little thing called love.
Love that transcends all other mediums. Love that seemingly comes out of nowhere, but has a familiar scent. Earth shattering, time altering, aura vibrating love that radiates pure joy and happiness…
Snowbird – Anne Murray
The 70s was replete with folk rock, rock that had great lyrics, simple acoustics and sublime storytelling. Canadian songbird Anne Murray sings earthy adult contemporary and country songs and in 1970, she was the first Canadian solo singer to hit #1 on the U.S. charts with the timeless “Snowbird.”…
Naya – Yinon Yahel, Mor Avrahami
What’s up party people? We’re back again this week with a track from deejays/producers Yinon Yahel and Mor Avrahami…
