Yes, I'm a massive Springsteen fanatic. Indulge me. I thought I'd include a cover he did of a Bee Gees song (yes, you heard that right)... as well as a nice cover of one of his ballads, the extremely romantic "Drive All Night" (from The River). Some context around the Bee Gees cover. He was in Brisbane, on tour (and the Bee Gees are from there). He has a habit of paying homage to local bands/artists when he's touring. The strings were part of the show because he performed his classic 1973 album (a masterpiece), The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle in its entirety that night. Super short, but... worth hearing (as it sums up what I believe... that we must all act as global citizens). I love Max Richter's work. This is a clip from his recent project, which pairs music with passages from the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). I'll include another piece of his, as well (so emotionally raw).
I know... we can't go anywhere, but we can take a virtual trip. I started us off on our way down to Mexico (oh I miss Cabo)... then to South America, up through Africa and into Europe (and so on). I didn't cover every country, but close your eyes and imagine your suitcase and passport in hand. So many places to see and experience.
I'll never admit that I secretly like these songs. Shit.
Note: I'll continue to add as time goes on.
Falling in love? Put yourself out there. Whether it’s a music playlist or a love letter, be transparent. Go all in. Tell the person how you feel.
This playlist of mine sums up what I want/need: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAC51EE01FA24221F I can’t say I’m much of a gamer, but... there’s this new Apple Arcade game that has an amazing soundtrack. Here are a few songs from it. |
