Body Without Wings – Nomazii

Sadness is the most underrated emotion and often the most unwanted.  The expression “Don’t be Sad” is bandied around like a punctured prophylactic when instead we could be listening and demonstrating true empathy…

Canada – Desmond Cheese

A song best explained in sounds. Sounds that feel almost familiar – but not quite – like a foggy memory…

Passing Time – Nos

Nos is the latest young artist who sent me his great debut Passing Time and who in a little bit of time has become one of my best discoveries that makes me proud…

In the Dying Day – Apostle

“In The Dying Day” is a wonderful pop tune by a very gifted British artist Apostle. His brilliant debut single “Dakota Thunder Rising” was featured on Music To Celebrate Life when it came out in January 2017. We also published a rather in-depth interview with him round about that time…

A Little Rain Has Never Hurt No One – a balladeer

One of my favorite lines from last year was:

inspirational quotes – in quotes – make me want to throw up – preferably on the person who posted them.”

It was Autumn Dawn Leader’s track that resulted in that particular piece of invective and I’m so grateful to her for the inspiration 🙂

Linked – Bonobo

This vast lake, tranquil beneath a terminal sky. Lying, floating amidst a wash of mirrored stars, drifting peacefully as the atmosphere burns…

Star Trails – Antartic Wastelands, Somniacs

I’m all about the wonder of being alive at the moment.

I think this is a good thing – particularly having come off a period where being alive seemed to be a rather depressing experience.

But like any good pendulum – I’m swinging back the other way and damn is it good to be on the planet!…

The Geocide – Cattle Decapitation

“Death always wins, his molten torch forever burns / And to the ashes and the ground we are returned…” As morbid as the excerpt from the chorus of “The Geocide” may be, extreme metal collective Cattle Decapitation certainly have a valid point.  Everybody dies…

Dirty Money – Reality Something

Every once in a while, you come across a band whose music feels like it has been a part of your listening lexicon forever…

Shooting Star – Richard In Your Mind

If you’re a raw chiller, you can dig on this track. Richard In Your Mind may be considered more of a “Psych Rock” band but alas there are no rules for this playlist…

Time Machine – Alicia Keys

She can sang, plays the piano like it’s her last name, and is one of the best R&B songwriters and producers in this generation. She’s one of those artists that are so good we take her for granted…

Understand – Anna Naklab, Tinush Salehi, Karl Thesing

This week we have another submitted track on the playlist. “Understand” is a different kind of voyage into the natural realm,,,
