Something real

When we are real, we are being true to ourselves and not pretending to be someone we’re not. This helps build trust and connections with others. Being real allows us to express our true thoughts, feelings, and opinions, which can lead to more open and honest communication. On the other hand, being real comes with challenges. You may face opposition, disappointment, and uncertainty. Being real means owning your limitations and vulnerabilities.

Fact or fiction? Black or white, or grey? Documentary or romance? Getting real with yourself is possibly the hardest challenge of them all..

Weightlifting

Music has the power to lift our mood because it speaks to the soul. When we hear music that we enjoy, it releases dopamine, a neuro-transmitter associated with pleasure.

It also helps us to regulate our emotions. Playing happy music when we’re sad, calm when we’re anxious.

When we listen to music together, it’s  a shared experience and perfect for people who are feeling isolated. Best of all, music can help us to tap into our creativity, inspiring our imagination.

It can lift or lower.

Don’t Look Back

Don’t look back with regret is an essential mantra for personal growth and a positive outlook on life. Dwelling on past mistakes or missed opportunities can be detrimental to one’s mental well-being and prevent you from moving forward and embracing new experiences.

When you let go of regret, you gain the freedom to shape your future without being weighed down by past mistakes or perceived failures.

Forgiveness is a powerful act that can lead to emotional healing and a sense of liberation.

Throughout the globe, both wind and our words can either connect people or send them fleeing for physical or emotional safety. They can comfort or devastate.

Whether a gentle ocean breeze or healthy gale, a strong storm or destructive hurricane—the wind is simply the movement of air from high to low pressure due to differences in air temperature. But it is so much more.

State of Independence

After Bastille Day on Friday and its rallying cry, ‘Liberté, égalité, fraternité, we sometimes forget that true independence is all three of these qualities, not one.

The hermit’s cave on the mountain may look independent, but is a little bleak.

When the head of an indie label signs an act it means that they have committed to them 100%. When an artist signs, they are choosing a community that believes in them and are in for the long haul.

We need people who understand us. Who treat us as equals. Whose trust in us gives us real freedom. Today we play music that understands that real freedom is found in the company of others.

This week a playlist that celebrates both independence and artistic community.
