Great porch find: In the Dark, Cathedrals

There I was, minding my own business reading The Creative Act: A Way Of Being by Rick Rubin, (highly recommended btw. It’s not just about art. So many great life comparisons), on the porch at my parent’s place when this song pipes into my AirPods.

Absolutely love the guitar throughout, vocals are beyond tight, and I just love how it changes up throughout. When we slow down and get that awesomely produced vocal?

Then the beat picks up and we can the layered vocals, and we’re back on the same rocket ship ride from before.

One of the more creative new songs I’ve heard lately. (But it’s not a new song, 2014!) It made me instantly want to write this post.

Caught me in the moment. Hope something catches you today.

Be good, do good.

The Most Insane Song I’ve Ever Heard: Hocus Pocus, Focus

This song is the musical equivalent to the “never let them know your next move” meme. I cannot stress the wildness of the roller-coaster you are about to embark on.

It is six minutes and 42 seconds of pure madness.

Maybe best enjoyed laying down, eyes closed, and with headphones?!

Happy summer day, friends!

Be good, do good, and like this song, stay weird!

Hazey Eyes

Happy summer evening, my dear readers. It has been, as the youth say, a minute.

It hit me today that I actually miss the act of sharing music so frequently. At this point I feel like my playlist is actually an intricate look into my personality and psyche.

Jean-Michel Basquiat said it perfectly when he said “art is how we decorate space; music is how we decorate time.”

Listening to so much music over the years has helped me navigate unknown ground, discover more about who I want to be as a person going forward, and helped me process some difficult situations.

Being able to share that music with you, however few, is truly a passion of mine because I know how magical and valuable it can be. If anything, music is a reminder that we are not alone. When we hear a song that perfectly encapsulates how we are feeling in that moment, we share the happiness, grief, sadness, loneliness, rapture, and euphoria with the artist. They’ve felt how we are feeling. It’s a shared experience between us at the time of listening, and the artist at the time of writing/performing.

That’s why I love sharing. If I can suggest you a song that you connect with, we’ve both become richer for the experience.

This was my first experience with Hazey Eyes, but Yoke Lore is a favorite for when I want to feel good and move.

Enjoy your day. Love you to pieces.

Be good, do good.
