MUSIC



Music is a universal language. Even when there are (seemingly) human language barriers, music can still “make sense” to the listener. There is just this feel to music and I have come to feel that quite often this year (even if I am nothing close to a melomaniac or whatever ardent music lovers are called). I am grateful for good sounds. Good music has certainly made me feel better on some days.

I listen to anything but not everything—did I lose you?—and I am glad I have come to discover new soothing sounds this year. I am glad I stumbled upon Jinmi Abduls—great music, great vibes.

I am super grateful for COLORS—my ultimate sound discovery channel—they feature really great talents. Talents so good I end up doing deep dive not long after.

I am thrilled to have come across Samm Henshaw’s music. Man! He sounds like church—that is the best analogy that comes readily to mind—so warm!!

I am grateful for the beauty called LUCID and the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and everything between. Although I have not wandered too far away from my regular sounds, I am grateful for these (and every other) new sound I have heard in the course of 2020.


I am grateful for music that sounds like poetry.


Music is a stress reliever,

What sounds are you thankful for?

I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulati...

AND THE LOCKDOWN CONTINUES

  It's no news that the lockdown has been extended and even if the lockdown isn't charting it's full course in certain cities and places, movement and activities that we've grown used to are restricted. While the isolation may not be much of a big deal for some, I'm sure it has some bored to the wits and maybe at the brink of insanity (who knows?) While the lockdown persists, I have made another list. (Remember the last one? ) Limit the amount of news you take in: social media sure has its ways of bringing enlightenment and I'm certain you have been at the receiving end of a plethora of BCs here and there. Whilst some of these might be valid, there is always room for false news. Staying in the loop with what is going on shouldn't mean wolfing down every little bit of news that swings your way (especially without making your own findings).
