To continue Nicole’s morbid theme, this is a beautiful song …

Paul, that’s an incredibly beautiful song. Didn’t know it. Some day when I’m really really back at playing guitar, I would like to learn to play it. Thank you. 
But wait, I have one more that’s on my list and of which I know at least that I can sing it. Have been belting along many many times along with it at work, when there was no one in the office anymore.
This is really starting to get morbid…

The music that moves me the most almost always deals with difficult themes - two standout artists this year for me are Ren (particularly the song “Hi Ren”) and Raye’s album 21st Century blues - almost every song on that record is a tough listen, “Ice cream man” or “Mary Jane” for example.
I can relate. I have to check out these two. Phoebe Bridgers is a familiar name, and one or the other of her songs is on one of my playlists.
Great recommendations. Both of them. I know what I’ll be listening to tomorrow during the bus trips to and from Helsinki. Great voices. “Hi Ren” is on one of my playlists now already. Fascinating how such a challenging song can have so many views on YouTube.

Hmm… how do I now get the themes of winter and dying together? Maybe with this. It’s in Finnish “Lapin kesä” (Lapland’s summer), the lyrics are written in 1902 by Finland’s national poet Eino Leino. I will not even attempt translating them. It’s an ode to Finland’s nature and particularly the harsh nature in Finnish Lapland, where everything lives so fast and dies so soon.
Saturday and so much darkness, guess a bit of JJ is apt 
One for the young mad man

Sorry you distracted my JJ immersion. That looks like the Woodstock footage if I am not mistaken ?
Roger - I absolutely love the Playing For Change collaborations! Such great music bringing people together from around the world. Here are three of my favorites!

Did anyone see Muireann Bradley on Hootenanny last night? Amazing for a 17 year old. https://youtu.be/YnFEEnzgg_A?si=G0eyC5SK646ktf_w
It will take me at least 2 months to remember what day year it is !
