The world is a dumpster fire and I haven’t been coping very well. I can’t find any space in myself, and every breath feel like Im suffocating. So this is a playlist of a bunch of music that’s come in over the past week I still need to listen to, digest, and figure out what it means – if anything – to me. Sorry, I try to use this time and place to let go, but I can’t right now. I hope you’re in a safe place physically, mentally, and emotionally. I didn’t say “good” place – that might be asking too much. But a safe place, even if only temporary, I really wish for all of you.

• Cosmic Cathedral – “Deep Water Suite: Launch Out, Part 1”
• Naxatras – “Numenia”
• Kenso – “Watashi no Jinsei ni wa”
• Guru Guru – “Oxymoron”
• Mean Mistreater – “Walk With Fire”
• Terumasa Hino – “Speak To Loneliness”
• Bella and the Bizarre – “Inky Waters”
• Bjørn Riis – “Gone”

The Cosmic Cathedral is a new project from Neal Morse, a guy whose music has come in the past year to help heal me. This is the first single from the album coming in April. The Bjørn Riis is another forthcoming album, one I had the privilege to get the promo for. He’s the primary songwriter and guitarist for prog act Airbag, another group whose music has been a salve for rough times.

Everything else should be readily available if you’re into it.

Be safe, be good to each other. See you next week.
