But the my inspiration was brought from the feeling of awe caught with the sunrise I had experienced that morning."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:0kYESBjHlA8bEnCsv1807r:small" target="_self">spotify:track:0kYESBjHlA8bEnCsv1807r:small</A></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN>David Tam - Lost Souls (Feat.

In this case, I was thinking of the people around me who are still here and have had their dreams/aspirations derailed. I believe that once we stop pursuing our calling, a part of our soul is laid to rest. I wanted the song to be inspiring but in a slightly haunting way."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:6uzKa9ZpxyNAz21KxYa73j:small" target="_self">spotify:track:6uzKa9ZpxyNAz21KxYa73j:small</A>  </P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN>Surf Rock Is Dead - Diabolik</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><EM>I feel it too</EM><BR /><EM>I’ve had enough of it</EM><BR /><EM>Try to tiptoe</EM><BR /><EM>Round the fire</EM><BR /><EM>It’s on</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><EM>You are now the enemy</EM><BR /><EM>Walking on my own again<BR /></EM></P> <P> </P> <P>Is it Surf Rock?

This band from <SPAN class=""><SPAN class="">Brooklyn, NY won't tell, but it doesn't matter when it sounds this good</SPAN></SPAN>:</P> <P> </P> <P>"Lyrically the track is about sharing a home with sh*tty people.

This high energy band brings us some modern rock about lost love:</P> <P> </P> <P>"We usually draw inspiration from real events or people we know. In this case the inspiration came from the singer's story with his ex-girlfriend. She abandoned him and he desperately waited for the moment when she would return. So he overturned everything he felt in this song."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:5XLMcVSWFKEfCF4hPfoB8z:small" target="_self">spotify:track:5XLMcVSWFKEfCF4hPfoB8z:small</A></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN><SPAN>BruceDayne - Stress Free - Instrumental</SPAN></SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="BruceDayne.jpg" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/117097iF4B30605095025DC/image-size/small?v=v2&px=200" role="button" title="BruceDayne.jpg" alt="BruceDayne.jpg" /></span>Finally, from New York, we get some t<SPAN class="">rap R&B that can truly get you <EM>stress free</EM>:</SPAN></P> <P> </P> <P>"Funny story, I just went through a bad break up and me and my friends were in Harlem hanging out at Harlem nights getting wasted. I remember a jazz band just getting on stage and started to jam right in front of us. He kept saying I lost my baby and laughed which cracked me up so I literally left the club and went to my friend's studio in the Bronx and the next day, hung over, this song was the final product.</P> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I decided to name it Stress Free because after my break up it was easy to feel hurt, lost, sad, and a bunch of emotions I was feeling at that time, but the morning after I remember listening the song and feeling stress free, so I decided to name it that."<EM><BR /></EM></DIV> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:4rRJvnoZGYGoCPm5jqNCWc:small" target="_self">spotify:track:4rRJvnoZGYGoCPm5jqNCWc:small</A></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Listen to them and much more on the complete Playlist</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:user:osornios:playlist:2IYRLjcwf2X9vC0QrI0b0P" target="_self">spotify:user:osornios:playlist:2IYRLjcwf2X9vC0QrI0b0P</A></P> <P> </P> <P>See you next month!</P> <P> </P> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 22:30:51 GMT osornios 2023-06-29T22:30:51Z #MusicMonday Review - May 2020 https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-May-2020/ba-p/4968005 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Music_blogs-green.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99872i3AAEAB940C731053/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="Music_blogs-green.png" alt="Music_blogs-green.png" /></span></P> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 22:30:51 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-May-2020/ba-p/4968005 osornios 2023-06-29T22:30:51Z
