Music that feels like water
Water is a powerful symbol, often seen as an antidote to life’s harshness. It embodies calm, healing, and resilience. In today’s show, we’ll dive into how various genres of music capture the essence of water—its fluidity, its slow movement, its soothing nature, and its transformative power. Enjoy the show!

Putting this mix together was indeed a flowing process - the inspiration began along the Sturgeon river, with the basis of Nick Drake's 'River Man' I wanted to set a dreamy, melancholy tone - and when I remembered the Brian Eno by this River song, the theme was set. Every song I found or remembered with this river theme seemed to fit the mood. I found myself reconnecting with songs I had had on tapes as a teen, Enya, Robbie Robertson, Leonard Cohen, R.E.M, PJ Harvey, the Doors, Tim Buckley.... 60s meets 90s in a wistful melange. |
