The power of music

Hi
In these trying times when everything seems to be falling to pieces and those in power are often making decisions that have a direct impact on others I thought I would start this thread as a way to maybe cheer folks up.
Music has always been an important part of my life and I am always excited to discover new bands, songs or performances.
Not every performance is going to move you or have an immediate impact but those that do can be really powerful.
Music can make you smile, frown, be sad or happy and a million other emotions.
Look forward to your suggestions
Hereโs mine from a group called Marillion, hopefully link will open

Lovely idea @Bydand I agree music is such a powerful tool and one I use often to help shift my moods. I've not heard Marillion in ages though!
I always find No Rain by Blind Melon really lifts my mood. It just gives those carefree, summer vibes. ๐2 -
That definitely has a vibe going on!
My tastes are eclectic if nothing else, from rock to jazz and everything in between.
Iโm going through a spell listening to both the wailin jennys ,Ruth moody and Grabrielle Aplinโฆ.all very talented musicians/ singers and well worth checking out.

Ah nice, loving those! I'm thinking you may like one of my favourite artists, Noah Gundersen, if you've not heard him already?
This is him covering one of my fave Counting Crows songs. โค๏ธ

The Title of the song " Music was my first love and it will be my last " . That sticks with me always

I recall watching Frank Sinatra and Celine Dion singing 'All the Way' with my mum and sister on Boxing Day 2019. I'd never seen it or heard this duet before even though I love both, it was very cleverly done as he'd already passed. Very moving.

Astrud Gilberto was a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer and songwriter, 'Tristeza' (Goodbye Sadness) was one of my favourites from the 70s, was so lucky to see her in London in the '90s at Jazz Cafe. She passed away a couple of years ago, massive advocate of animal welfare and an artist. In fact I'm going to play it now ๐คฃ
LOVE this thread thank you!
