Paul Kalkbrenner – sand and sky

I love this song. Makes me dance. And reminds me of Jamie (RIP). ❤

Hammock – when it hurts to remember

Taken from the album called Silencia released in 2019.

The first time I heard of Hammock was when they collaborated with Matthew Ryan. I came to like their music for the soothing (sometimes unsettling) soundscapes they create.

Wishing everyone a nice day

Petter Carlsen – the sound of you and I

Petter is a very talented Norwegian singer/songwriter. The shared song is from an album with the same name released in 2009.

Enjoy.

White Lies – big TV

From the album with the same name that was released in 2013. Personally, I like the style of this British band a lot.

I hope you enjoy it too. Have a great week.

Nate Maingard – braver and stronger

Nate Maingard is a South African musician who solely relies on his Patreon page to make a living. Quite a character, he moved away from the music to focus on his mental health. Vocal and often raw, he shares his journey and his ups and downs.

Check him out.

Today, I had the pleasure of listening to some awesome music that will be released by the end of the month. I was asked to write a blog post for a music blog about said mysterious album. I am looking forward to that.

Apart from that, I am still in a lot of pain, and it takes a toll on me. My doctor said that I should be pain-free within 12 hours. That was last Tuesday. It is Sunday, and the pain keeps me awake at night and paralyzes my days. Frustrating. And I am not supposed to take painkillers to not mask the effects of the cortisone injection I had in my shoulder.

Did I mention? This March, I am not drinking any alcohol and I am living low-carb. After one week, my skin looks better, the pores got smaller.

What’s new at your end?

Seven Saturdays – the snowflakes that hit us became our stars

One of those songs I heard so many times and today I touched me in all the right places.

Enjoy…

Liam X – schlaflose Nacht

https://youtu.be/bP6NmhR-6do

This song was released in 2015 (on the album called Morphin). Very poetic lyrics and I like the sound of the song. The electronic elements. Very well done.

Steven Wilson ft Sophie Hunger – song of I

Taken from the album To the Bone (2017)

Awesome song, isn’t it? I like the lyrics too, as simple as they are. But often, it is the little things, the simple things, the ones we almost don’t notice that have the most important impact and meaning. Steven Wilson is probably best known for being founding member as well as lead vocalist and songwriter of the UK band Porcupine Tree.

Matt Simons – After the Landslide

Song from the album with the same name (After the Landslide) released in 2019.

For me personally, this song has powerful lyrics. They have meaning.

Yesterday, I had my cortisone injection in the shoulder. I was expecting a miracle of no pain in no time, but that didn’t happen, and I am still in pain. Hopefully it will pass. If not, there is always surgery… We’ll see.

AWOLNATION – sail

This song is from an album called “Megalithic Symphony” (2011)

I decided to make this month music month again. I hope that’s okay.

Lots of love,

Cathy
