Sukha – Ladislav Pazdera, Karlijn Langendijk
When you listen to music like this one you also remember what it is to be connected to nature, you remember part of the sound of nature in that organic sound, the wood just resonating to the sound of strings being touched, you remember the essential and feel ready to transport yourself again to the best parts of life.
Pense Bem – Manoel Tosto
There’s always a special feeling when I listen to Manoel Tosto’s music, it speaks to me about how life could be, I feel like I could really use some more of that kind of energy in my life.
Break the Bottle – Jess Silk
God I love the story tellers.
The lyricists who construct a reality you can step into, to experience it as if you were there – as if you knew the characters – who do it so seamlessly that – even if it is by proxy – you get to feel the emotions for real.
That’s the point of this list – it’s designed to make you feel – to connect with the emotions that we’re oh so good at keeping hidden, buried under guilt and social conditioning. Because when we don’t deal with those emotions – well – that’s when the bad shit happens…
Looking Glass 4 (Red) – Yellow6
Sometimes all you need is the repetition.
I’ve written about this several times on the playlist – about the psychology of music – about expectation and dopamine and audio hacking and all those things that make music an effective tool for getting shit done, particularly in the creative writing space…
L’alternativa – bzur
I’ve composed this one keeping in mind an idea of consolation after loss, just follow its flow and let it take care of you 🙂
A Postcard to Nina – Jens Lekman
This song tells a short story that I can always get lost in. The chorus is fun, catchy and favorable to create to.
