I love songs. Great songs. I'll take a great song over a cool solo, a killer groove, etc... Check this great SONG out! Highly crafted. Sit with it. Put the phone down. Let her tell you the story. It's worth the wait. The title. The narrative. The perspective. Lyrics x melody x performance = B O O M.

Fun way to start the day, to wake up and listen to Grateful Dead tunes.

Jeff Buckley

Maybe it's the jetlag talking but when I hear Jeff Buckley after some time away from his music, my chest feels like it's going to cave in.

Bill Evans

Dig yourself some Bill Evans!

26 — Paramore

Golden Hour — Kacey Musgraves

One of my favorite artists in the galaxy @spaceykacey released an album today, and it happens to be her best yet. Every time she sings I get a lump in my throat. Her voice goes straight to your core. Boop. Three seconds in. “Is this what hurts?” Found it! There’s a universal sadness that exists in all things. Not an anguished sadness, but kind of a joyful one. Kacey is so deeply connected to that beautiful sadness, just like the other legends. ((Also there are some low key ✨slappers✨ on it.)) Give it a listen.

McCoy Tyner

I had the honor of watching McCoy Tyner perform a few years ago in New York City. As I listened to him play from the side of the stage, a thought occurred to me more fully formed than most do. It was a thesis, really: “the case for immortality.” I wished a performer of his talent could somehow reason with the forces of nature to let him live forever, on the basis of his otherworldly abilities. I’m saddened to learn of his passing. Do yourself a favor and listen to his impeccable work both as his own bandleader and with John Coltrane Quartet.
