Monochrome Echoes, Rainbow Notes

Lena…

When Maria and I planned to do this Playlist together, she mentioned that “emo/metal/punk” are the genres she has the least experience in, so naturally I wanted to show her my favorite artists from those genres and was excited to see what songs Maria would add. The result is this beautiful mix from Indie to Metalcore and everything in between!

Maria…

waking to dark rain
you move to a beat of unfamiliarity
feeling confined to reality
you begin to break yourself down into the compost
life is woven with wounding and ferociously healing
i want to be a wolf again like I dreamt of as a child
to be a mountain dweller howling my essence into existence
i often feel so small and forgotten
like I could be left behind and no one would come looking
i am so angry and soft and sensitive and tough
i want to have more qualities that leave me less likely to mess everything up
i want to be a chameleon of love
to shape-shift the way I show it off
what would it be like to be everything I am not
so I could be of everyones heart
be of everyones body
and know we are all as we are meant to be in our brokenness and our generosity

Emerging from a life shaped by islands - a spirited sanctuary to be grown from - where reflection is gathered in the compost and propagated in papaya seeds. I find the deepest joy in being a steward of sound and of soil. Much like a Community Garden - I am hoping to invoke a sense of curiosity, intention, playfulness and mindfulness into the way we cultivate and connect through song. You can find me in the redwoods, dancing in the mountains, sipping on nettle tea, planting sweet peas and fava beans, walking endlessly, listening endlessly and sharing the gift of music to those who choose to listen.

Music has been there for me my entire life and I absolutely love sharing new music I find by deep diving spotify multiple hours a day. Since all of my friends kinda do the same my music taste grew into this huge mix of all kinds of genres, bands and artists. I think music is the greatest tool to express your feelings to the world and creating playlists to give your daily life some kind of a soundtrack helps to deal or highlight with whatever is going on.

On my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/musikstreber/ I share basically everything music related in my life, like concert-posts or new songs I found shared in my story!
