As I sit here trying to decide what to write for this song, I’m struck by the fact that we are at post 244. One-hundred twenty-two more days in this year.

What are you gonna do with ’em?

Be good, do good.

Very cool to have a Hip Hop track over a MGMT song.

I like the idea of “the marathon continues” in this song. It seems optimistic and hopeful.

Keep runnin’.

Be good, do good.

A combination of the amazingly velvety and ethereal voice of Hannah Reid, lead singer of London Grammar, with the incredibly intricate production of Flume, and this one is a wow for me.

Close your eyes for this one!

Be good, do good.

This song is essentially just a three minute poem where I can screen shot the entire lyrics for you!

I’ve been thinking about letting go of a lot of things that don’t help me or bring me joy anymore. I think it’s good to take stock of those things now and again, so that you’re not carrying around more than you should be. (Not looking at you overloaded bookcase, you and your treasures are safe!)

The cool thing, to me at least, about the above concept, is that it can be applied to anything that may be holding us back from who we want to be. Put those things down, because they aren’t helping you anymore!

Be good, do good. Go kill it today.

“All messed up with nowhere to go, I stare at myself in the mirror alone, it’s hard to make friends when you’re half in the grave, but I ain’t dead yet, and I got something to say”

This song just sounds like a cross-country road trip to me. I think Lord Huron songs are good for that vibe.

I’m gonna try to make the last bits of summer feel like that. You should too!

Be good, do good.

Main part of this song is about letting go. I’m beginning to explore what all the different meanings of that are.

What do you need to let go of? I think I asked that recently, but sometimes we need a reminder.

Be good, do good.

This song made the list because of the duality contained within it. Less than 200k listeners on Spotify for Dreamer Isioma, he needs to be bigger. Great stuff!

“You walk that walk, talking blah, blah, blah, who you think run your block?, the government, the opps, your enemies, gotta eat, gotta get money by any means”

Be good, do good, my dear readers. Enjoy the vibe.

Just so we’re clear, in this house, Hans Zimmer is considered the GOAT when it comes to film composers. I said what I said. No, no, I understand. I just prefer his body of work. 🙂

Add an already cinematic sounding band with an incredible composer and a live orchestra? Good recipe.

Listen to it in a way you can be awed by it.

Be good, do good.

M.I.A. is a fantastic wordsmith, and she definitely shows up in this track.

Just a whole lot of energy for you today. Use it for something postive!

Be good, do good.
