Old money, mink coats, caviar, rooftop suites, floating in an enormous pool while a waiter brings you smoothies from the bar. Sunshine, tanned skin, luxury. This song is putting on a stunning outfit and descending a set of stairs to a lavish party below, coming for blood, a poker night at a Vegas casino…
This is confidence and wild youth poured into one intoxicating cocktail. This is a dark smoking room, with lots of other spirits moving around you. This is sweating until you forget about your shitty ex-boyfriend. A tight dress, your favorite outfit, pulling your hair up and out of your face while you scream up into the smoggy darkened air…
Jean-Jacques Rousseau describes our humanity as a “collective, social existence”, therefore we get to know each other through the “expression of passions and feeling”. He states that “music is not simply a mirror held up to reality or to the soul” it doesn’t “directly imitate the emotion, but makes it present” (Rousseau).
I was chatting with Val, host of the Loss to Profound podcast and we ended up talking about music – shocker huh!? We were talking about how music is this amazing tool to help people when they are down because it delivers a way for them to connect to humanity without the need for anyone to be there…
Do you ever wonder why we do this? By “We” I mean Music Curators – people who show up every week and write about a track and share it out to the world? We do it for tracks like this – for people like Joonas Widenius.

El objetivo, además de una relajación y una concentración es el de terminar con los ciclos de pensamientos de la mente y poder ser conscientes de nuestra divinidad, de nuestro yo superior. Imaginemos entonces un mantra inverso…
On the Music to Soundtrack Souls Playlist this week is Nino Man ft. Jadakiss “I hate you”. Jadakiss is a veteran rapper from the LOX and this particular track is from his artist Nino Man. First heard this about a week ago, and instantly knew it would be hip hop with substance. Nino sets it off with wordplay that really says something. No gimmicks…
First and foremost I apologize for my small absence the past few weeks. All systems are go and we are back to submitting weekly tracks until further notice! This week’s track is one of my favorite pump up songs. “Feels Great” Featuring Fetty Wap & CVBC really gives off nothing but positive vibrations and smiles for me as I reminisce on what it means to enjoy every moment.
If you need an anthem to supercharge you to Victory!, I’ve got you covered. Or, should I say, Rou and the boys have you covered with the powerhouse that is Solidarity.
From the opening cascade of saw-toothy goodness (you guys know how much I love my saw-tooths. Saw-teeth? Hmm…), Enter Shikari do not disappoint in delivering an incredible journey and a powerful message of unification.
Often times we look outward for comfort and peace during times of distress. Sometimes we seek it from our loved ones, a therapist, or even a kind stranger in a coffee shop that’s willing to listen…
The currents are shifting. The motion is jarring, even confusing. These are the moments when you must let go of your sense of direction, and allow yourself to be taken where the ocean wants you to go. You must make peace with the uncertainty of your destination.
