It's been a while since I posted about music (gasp!) and there've been a few songs that have caught my ear lately, one way or another. And again, the constant rediscovery of the beauty in music reminds me that no matter how confused/unhappy I might be feeling, there is happiness somewhere, in something :)
So, for tumultuous times, or just a reminder that things are 'going to be fine,' (apparently one of my most used phrases), medicine for your heart.
1. Sunlight- Bag Raiders
I pretty much love these guys. And I have always loved the idea of light as a symbol for purity, happiness and illumination of the truth, no matter how often it's used. I could probably write a whole post about Light, music, poetry and novels related to the idea (and I probably will, come to think of it)
2. Shukran Allah- from the movie Kurbaan
An example of Sufi music, a love song inspired by Sufism. It's beautiful.
3. Monks of Mellonwah- Swamp Groove
Introduced to me by a nutty friend :) I love it!
4. Far East Movement- Rocketeer
Post G6, these guys are obviously fans of air transport. I really like the sound of Ryan Tedder, and given my current episode of wanderlust/ desire to get on a plane, the lyrics are pretty perfect. I secretly want to empty out my bank account, get to the airport, and get on a random plane that can get me away from here and give me new perspective and release from expectation. But for now I'll bide my time and listen to this song.
