2021 Playlist

~ a rundown of my favorite, most memorable pieces of art from my 2021 playlist.

Still there are darkened places, deep in my heart

The siren calls / the world moves.

We can be heroes, forever and ever

~ a playlist for the dreamers unto the stars. For the boys and girls, for the hopers and despairers, for the singers and dancers, for the free and the chained, for the living and the dead, for the sound and the vision.

Verses

~ a playlist for the exploration of the electric guitar’s many textures and timbres, instrumentally spoken into the silence of post-modernity, for lone listeners like me and like you…

Really don’t mind if you sit this one out

~ a playlist for the cerebrally silly sod and the Renaissance-listening bev and the yelping lil’ music nerd in all of us ~

I’m really scared of getting lost in real life

~ a playlist for those trapped within their walls, unwilling or unable to experience the world and her peoples, who are unsure of whether or not anybody cares.

Yet under this Mortal Sun / We cannot hide Ourselves

~ Psychospiritual explorations into Man and his many madnesses, within himself, within his world, within his past, present and future.
