Find Me – Mella
19 June 2018
ABSOLUTE. UNCONDITIONAL. LOVE.
Mella’s “Find Me” evokes the most intense feelings of first love, the purest of love. The feeling that you can’t possibly live without the other. The feeling that there is one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else, even better than yourself…
Let It In – Jeff Bryant
6 May 2018
Spring has (finally) sprung, and in my neck of the woods, that means weekend outings to local wineries. In my book, there is nothing better to nurture the soul on a beautiful spring day than to enjoy a delightful glass of vino with live music and friends…
Tired – Chlo Subia
17 April 2018
It is common to experience a broken heart during the teen years. It’s almost a rite of passage to becoming an adult. The experience allows you to discover that there are people you love, people you hate, and sometimes both. Working through the pain, mending your heart, and loving again… that makes us human, and that strengthens the soul…
Other Side of Rain – Renn
13 March 2018
Renn is an artist from Nashville that caught my ear a few years ago. His lyrics flow effortlessly and he has an honest, mellow, and soulful voice that will make you smile, rain or shine. His tune “Other Side of Rain” is a favorite from his debut album “Heartache and a Song”. Renn shares the story behind his song:
Soulshine – Gov’t Mule
21 February 2018
When you’re feeling blue, it takes time to bring yourself up out of the pits. If you’re looking for a drug-free mood lifter in under 8 minutes, then you’ve got it with this perfectly named tune by Gov’t Mule. Also lovingly known as “Mule” by fans, this southern rock band is a side project for The Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody. There is everything to love about this song, but what hooked me is this lyric…
Be Still – Karyn Ann
7 February 2018
Often times we look outward for comfort and peace during times of distress. Sometimes we seek it from our loved ones, a therapist, or even a kind stranger in a coffee shop that’s willing to listen…
Universe & U – KT Tunstall
16 January 2018
This post will attempt to bend your mind in ways you may not have experienced previously, or maybe you have and forgotten. Soulmates… they are real. That’s the first part. Trust and read on.
No Fret – Constantinos Lemesios
9 January 2018
Who hasn’t thought to themselves at one point, “If only I knew then what I know now…” Right?! We’ve all done it. We wish sometimes that we could go back to the past and tell ourselves that things will be okay, and to trust in the process of living life. Constantinos Lemesios does this in a beautifully melodic way.
There is Hope – Brenden McPeek
2 January 2018
Another hectic holiday season is wrapped up and we continue onward to 2018. The start of a new year brings hope… Hope that this year will be better than the last. But that hope doesn’t just come from the clock striking midnight, it comes from within. This is my gift to you, to recover from all the stresses of 2017 and let hope into your heart: A smooth and sultry tune by Brenden McPeek.
Tacoma – Caitlyn Smith
12 December 2017
The bad news: At one point in your life, if you haven’t already, you will experience heartbreak. The good news: You are stronger than you think and you will survive. It just takes time, and in the case of “Tacoma” by Caitlyn Smith, lots and LOTS of space… like thousands of miles worth. Unfortunately, I don’t think my little silver Honda Civic would have taken me clear across the country when I experienced one of the worst heartbreaks of my life, but it’s good to know that a green Chevrolet, according to Caitlyn, will do the job.
Southern Gothic – Tyminski
5 December 2017
“Must be something in the muddy water, turns the whiskey ‘bout as sweet as sin. Every drunk in town can sing a brown bag hymn…” Whaaaaa?! Play that back a couple times… with such thought-provoking lyrics, Southern Gothic by Tyminski is meant for this playlist.
Put the Gun Down – Anja Kotar
21 November 2017
Not only is this a hauntingly beautiful song, but it’s also a highly relevant one. With all the extended media coverage of the seemingly increasing incidences of mass shootings and suicides across the world, “Put the Gun Down” by Anja Kotar is rather timely. She shares the story behind this powerful tune:
