I've been listening to Dustin O'Halloran recently. He's the one who made the soundtrack for the movie Lion which moved me quite a lot and I think it was mostly because of the soundtrack :)

Here's one of my favourites from him (and that album "Lumiere" is quite good IMO):

And this one too:

I think they're good background music for work.

Rim Banna is a Palestinian singer I never knew but her voice touches me.

Rim Banna, the singer from Nazareth who enraptured millions died on Sunday after a battle with cancer. She was 51 years old. Arabic social media filled with eulogies written by people from every segment of society.

One of the most famous Palestinian singers in the world, Banna came to be known through her modern interpretations of traditional Palestinian songs — children songs and popular women’s melodies — which she performed in a youthful, rhythmic manner, breathing into them a new life. She was a composer, a creator, and a singer of a rare kind who combined the spirit of resistance to the occupation, the hope for freedom, and the joy of creation to make moving music.

Banna was born and raised in Nazareth. After studying at the Moscow Conservatory, she returned to her homeland and dedicated her life to the project of conserving and reviving traditional Palestinian musical culture. In addition to the songs that she wrote and composed herself, she also put to music the poems of the great Palestinian poets — Mahmoud Darwish, Tawfiq Ziad, Samih al-Qasim — as well as those with whom she wrote, like the poet Zohira Sebag.

Rim sang of the stolen homeland, of the children of the refugee camps, of the bleeding youth of Gaza on the way to freedom. Dressed in embroidered Palestinian clothes and big, antique silver jewelry, she was a musical icon — one of a kind.

She was one of the first artists to call for a cultural boycott of Israel. She could not understand how artists whose work encouraged resistance and called for liberation could, at the same time, perform in an occupying country.

When I was younger I had a great hunger
Desire that yet had no name
Then I grew wings, left the branch and felt the sting
I found the nest and the ground aren't the same
I kept my head low, tried to walk with the crows
While they cut my head and took all my scratch
It no longer burdened me, thieves they had set me free
I needed lightness to stay on my path
I need lightness to stay on my path

CH:
An open wing always gathers more wind and rain
But can you live without fear of dying?
The price I've paid, and all the beds I've made
Were worth it all for the victory of flying

There was mud all around, covering all that I've found,
Mostly trash that was once someone's treasure
I built a home. When it rained it was gone
So I stretched my wings for good measure.
The pull of the sky had me dream I could fly
I would watch and learn, but I couldn't wait
So I did my part, took a running start
And dove head first into my fate
I dove head first into my fate.
Lord, help a girl who can't wait

There is the thread What are you listening to? where people post music and the like. Makes it much easier to find things again if you don't remember any details to search for.

little beaver,

I agree with mrtn. You might be surprised at the variety you find in the What are you listening to? thread. Join in the musical fun. Your song would be welcome there I think. Take a look at what others like. We are all a "little" different in our musical tastes but that makes it interesting I think. I liked this one you posted. :-)
