LONDON GRAMMAR
💕


I bumped out of the blue, unexpected into this group in Oct 2013. It touched something that would... create a chain reaction. (It was never my kind of music to listen to) ... until... well, when a portal opens - things happen in most interesting ways. I was in the beginning of a breakup process with my second husband. It was a time of confusion, reflections, truth and cleanup - definitely a good thing in the longer run !

London Grammar revealed itself as an amazing group - with a girl whose voice is just incredible on the verge of ethereal yet in a strong way ! It reaches in deeper. It grows. She also has a trace of sadness somewhere... as if something was broken a longer time ago - seen through the a glass darkly. And while passed - there is still a slight trace of sorrow tuning in. There are many different mixes for each song, I may add.


HEJ NOW • (SALDA & WIGZEN REMIX)
A smoother version.


HEY NOW • (ARTY REMIX)
A version which increases and takes off after 1 min


Help me Lose My Mind

Wonderful. For me that song was the first kickoff in realizing, that the house i built (marriage), was crumbling and its underpinnings not yet fully understood as they were hidden. Unkowingly i started a process which made them come to light - because - I opened a "portal". The good aspect of it was - that I found the voice of my heart - and when you stand at your hearts portal - only the most burning questions remain to be asked. Then I found my answers - and what needed to be done.

Wasting my Young Years
endless beautiful kind of sad
 
LONDON GRAMMAR (II)
💕




Interlude
Ethereal beautiful !! Yet with this enduring string of sorrow. I was at the time of listening deeply in (new) love, Feb-May 2014.
However - it turned out relatively quicky into a "Love-bite" with traces of psychopathy. And I was wise enough to end it, because lies feed demons - and I chose not being part of it.




When We Were Young
And I really wanted that heartache. I chose it. That insight made me able to chose to leave it.




Metal and Dust
Very nice text - when you built your life / house in what you believed was love and lust - and as it rusts - all is just metal and dust. Nifty metaphor.
 
Since this past yucky year we have missed being able to go to festivals and live performances. One of our favs is the Cosmic American genre, a blend of bluegrass, country ballad, rock and blues. A pioneer in this field was Gene Clark, the Byrd who did not like to Fly but was instrumental in founding the genre. He died at age 46 from the same malady that afflicts many innately talented artists. Near the end of his life he teamed up with Carla Olsen to make "So Rebellious a Lover."


 

Andreas Vollenweider
"Behind the Gardens, Behind the Wall, Under the Tree..."

A classic; with flowing "spherical" moving tones - reminding me of youthful folly and playfulness - in a nice, unspoiled way. The music has a dignity of making a soul fly through landscapes. The giggle of the girl in the very beginning, was a cute addition, and the boy then making her focus; as if saying "Pssst...Quiet. Listen... Listen carefully !"

Unnecessary information
:lol:

I totally fell in love with this song (and kind of music) when I heard it the first time in 1986 in Stockholm (after a naked rendezvous with a really tough looking guy - which I was certain would not listen to that kind of music :wow:
 

Laura Welsh
Cold Front

Great Break up song (or; the time right before your realization of such outcome / development)
 

Laura Welsh
Breathe Me In

Another of her songs, her stunning voice and lyrics (break up songs / time before such an outcome)
 

Krister Linder
"Ghostfriend"
(Songs from the Silent Years)

Swedish Krister Linder is a remarkable singer - who unites text and music in a way, which reminded me of "somebody has been in touch with the universe". I discovered him in 2008-2009 - baffled over the depths of his song text (which were not immediately accessible to me at first - it came gradually with a deeper understanding)
It inspired me to another wave of photography with light painting; closer paired in expressing honest emotions.




Krister Linder
"Eternal Life"
(Songs from the Silent Years)

Remarkable voice. "beneath the town of Ra.... "




Krister Linder
"Nothing Ever"
(Songs from the Silent Years)

The video is a bit funky (?) - the music slow paced. (I often prefer to listen to his songs, not watching videos) Anyway - the video starts from the subway station of Gullmarsplan in Stockholm on a rainy day - which is my work space, literally :wow: The train moves over the bridge towards Skanstull.





Vibrasphere + Krister Linder
"Tierra Azul (Omnimotion ft. Krister Linder remix)"

Spherical, slow, beautiful - and with profound text which i believe gains greater understanding from people who are familiar with spirituality, as the meaning of the words changes...





Krister Linder
"Soft King Kong"
(Songs from the Silent Years)

Softly flowing, strong gentle masculinity, spiritual undertones, loving !
 

"El Hai (feat. Ayten)"
Asura

Beautiful flowing, spherical kind of music slowly increasing music and vocals - with oriental flavors.
 
apparently there is a large current of people dis-COVering sea shanties. Or maybe there is a titanic genre of undercurrents that many are feeling.

Since roughly the end of December, TikTok has seen a rise in interest in videos of people not just singing sea shanties, but crafting impressive, a cappella arrangements of the tunes traditionally sung by crews on merchant sailing ships. Thanks to the platform's capacity for collaboration, folks don't have to be on the same ship to sing together. So far, videos tagged with #seashanty have more than 89 million views. And that number continues to grow as word spreads. On Tuesday, Google Trends tweeted that "sea shanties" had been searched more than at any other time in the platform's history. Spotify says more than 12,000 sea shanty playlists have come into being since the end of December.

It turns out lamenting being stuck on a whaling ship while running out of rum is the favored mood for the first week of 2021.

Avast ye matey! Sea shanties are taking over TikTok. Here's why

From Wellerman to Drunken Sailor, sea shanties are attracting the attention of landlubber TikTokers. "It went wild. I don't really know what happened," says the guy at the center of it all.

Let me introduce you Catania, Town of Sicily, to you

With dancing flavors that should rule the people of today, to overcome the dark prison forced on people to stay at home under lockdowns - but instead - by tapping into that intuitive, inherent sense of joy - we should just all burst out of the hourse, into the streets, and dance. At dusk when the mild air surrounds you, feel and hear the laughter, smiles and life itself - face to face, towards and with familiars and strangers.

LET LOOSE - THE SICILIAN STYLE !!!


Mario Venuti - Caduto dalle stelle (remix luka j master & carlo m)​

The title means in English "Falling from the stars"

"HOWL"
Positively Dark

Powerful, dramatic tilted intro.
Makes me think of being a bird in stormy weather. Think Iceland. Scotland Highlands. A large scenery. It has a positive tone embedded.
