There are times...

[Raffles]

...when I despair for this world, for all the hate and greed that small factions inflict on the rest of us.

In these times there are some pieces of music I play to remind myself of happier times, and hope for the future.

And NO, I'm not drunk... just reflecting on what COULD be.

Please ADD your own choices that make you relax and get through it all.







Have a good night all... and yes, they are all playing for me tonight.

A bit of Eva Cassidy tends to chill me out if I'm feeling a little fractious Raffles... the entire Songbird album is just beautiful... enjoy

100% lairey... have got it, Rainbow is my favourite.

Have actually got a painting, signed by her parents, from a Children In Need auction years ago. A huge, huge talent taken so young.

musically I like cheesy pop and the likes of Glee videos quite lift me * add an embarrassed smiley*

C'mon guys, life is sh*t for most... what keeps you sane... is it music, is it something else... we need to know... nothing personal, just something that may help others.

This piece of music taught me to love and really listen to music in my formative years

Taking the dog for a walk on a local hill, open common land, views of north wales, irish sea, the wirral, liverpool and cheshire. I feel like I am on top of the world up there, just me, Billy and some sheep. I can forget myself for an hour. Luckily we very rarely meet any people as I am often having a sing song with my earphones in

Eva Cassidy Songbird is Awesome. Every track on it is really good. Sad loss at 33 years old.

I'm as secular as it gets, but this, at the end of a trying day, is most soothing -



and the likes of this -



and not forgetting the likes of this -

Music to chill to has always gotta be floyd .

What's keeping me sane at present is starting my own business at 52 .

Some of it is quite physical , what am I thinking ?

Best pop tune around for feel good factor has got to be Happy by Pharrel Williams

Michael Lucarelli - Fur Elise acoustic guitar



A little known but fantastic guitarist who excels in arranging classical compositions for the guitar

Wilhelm Kempff - Moonlight Sonata

Perhaps the best concert pianist I have ever seen. Even at the advanced age he is in this video, such nimble fingers and such emotion in his playing which is lacking from many of todays musicians




The Badpiper - Thunderstruck (AC/DC cover)
Something a little lighter

[300]

There's nothing i look forward to more than getting home from work each night to sit with the Wife before Dinner with a glass of something nice, Winamp on random play in the background & chat about the goings on of the day. A great way to unwind.

I like the simple things in life, especially music, nothing complex deep & meaningful, most things of a soulful nature work for me, every record i ever bought has a memory attached & the random play sparks some great laughs, memories, conversations..... whatever.

Tonight's standout tune for us
