I'm at the point where every time Biden says "ceasefire" my eyes roll back up into my head and I just disassociate for about five minutes.
yep - they can escalate and escalate without any consequences (if anything just with more encouragement and weapons)…
9. John Coltrane - My Favourite Things An absolute classic and one of my first forays into Jazz. A phenomenal recording of an otherworldly talent. open.spotify.com/track/3ZikLQ...
Song · John Coltrane · 1961
yessss an excellent choice
8. Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam The voice of a generation and one of the greatest musicians ever. It was almost impossible to make a single selection but her wit and her control of crowd here makes it irresistable. open.spotify.com/track/2UG2WP...open.spotify.com/track/2UG2WP...
Song · Nina Simone · 1964
7. Joni Mitchell - The Circle Game A voice unlike any other and surely one of the greatest lyricists ever. Her music is so incredibly beautiful. It was a close tossup between Both Sides Now and this but The Circle Game has a very special place in my heart. open.spotify.com/track/6MYDgk...
6. The Fugees - The Beast One of the first hiphop albums I bought, The Score still holds up so well today. Lauryn Hill in particular dazzles throughout and her second verse on The Beast remains an all-time favourite; witty, sharp, and perfectly delivered. open.spotify.com/track/3FFDBb...
Song · Fugees, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Pras · 1996
5. Arefe Sheyda - Tasnif Bolbol Shourideh In recent times, I’ve been exploring a lot of Iranian traditional music and this beautiful little track was one of my first favourites. A beautiful vocal with lovely instrumentation. open.spotify.com/track/5l40N4...
Song · Sedigh Tarif, Pooyan Biglar, Hamnavazane Ney Davoud Ensemble · 2018
4. Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade Back to the heavies. This is one of those songs that taught me to enjoy the beauty in harsh music and that sharp contrasts can be the most satisfying. open.spotify.com/track/3uXR8I...
Song · Killswitch Engage · 2002
