Music Monday (feel free to add your own music)

in #musicmonday6 years ago (edited)

The aim is simple, to banish those Monday blues with an eclectic range of music chosen by Steemit friends both old and new.

Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture it’s true essence.

As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.

I hope everyone is well has enjoyed a good weekend. So my choice this week isn't just a track, it's a musically and visually inspired journey through the nature of unreality .. its also been on my playlist of the last couple of days and helping me explore some of the deeper layers of thought that are required to write my latest post ;) I hope you enjoy.

This isn't about making me Steem so please save your upvotes and reward the songs that you feel are worthy, although equally if my song stands out to you then I'd appreciate the vote. Any resteems would be much appreciated, all are invited and welcomed to join us in sharing and listening to a diverse range of music.

Check this out, you might like this one
Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (Live)

Wonderful track!

Thank you @banditqueen I'm glad you enjoyed :) This is a brilliant track .. what an amazing guitarist Gary Moore was .. equally if he was in a band with anyone other than Phil Lynott he'd have been the lead singer! Thank you for the music my friend I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane :)

Hey Buddy,
Hard to believe this performance is almost 40 years old!
Even so it is still a legendary track.
Please enjoy the fantastically talented B52’s way back in 1980...
The B52’s - Rock Lobster.


Awesome.....

Hey my friend .. we have to have that catch up soon! You're often in my thoughts. On the music front as always you deliver the goods!! the words eccentric, charismatic and excellent! (no I'm not talking about you lol) spring to mind whilst listening to this important slice of musical history. Forty years though .. never knew they'd been around that long! How time flies!! Thank you for the music my friend .. this was a great way to ease me into my evening :D

Wish you were still on here writing tp.

👊😎

Wow! Excellent piece. I love the sounds of nature at the beginning. The visual and auditory proposal is almost dreamlike. To be at your level I want to share an American piece from Peru, famous, which has had many versions. El Condor Pasa.

Hey @nancybriti I'm glad you enjoyed :) I love your choice, uplifting whilst at the same time hauntingly beautiful .. a true classic. Thank you for the music my friend .. I really enjoyed this one, and I'm also trying to remember the film that uses it as it's theme :)

Well if it good mood tunes, to take away the blues, who better eh!

Ha .. perfect for #musicmonday my friend .. if this one doesn't raise a smile, then you're in need of a good holiday :) Great vibes, sentiment, beats and equally pretty dam cool .. and that's just the style I'm dancing along to it with lol Thank you for the music my friend .. I very much enjoyed this one :D

Cheers my friend, glad you liked it.
It seems pretty dead on here of late, I do hope folks come back.
Have a superb week ahead.

Yeah it has been pretty dead dude .. I'm still writing and getting on as much as I can, I'm just still catching up from the move and working every hour .. but I'll get there :) And you my friend .. catch you later!

Digging the song! Reminds me of this artist my brother got me to start listening to, Kalya Scintilla.

Kalya Scintilla- awareness

Hey @cmplxty .. glad you enjoyed my choice this week :) I certainly enjoyed yours .. dark, moody intelligent (I'm not talking about me lol) soundscape fusion of ethereal basslines, psy-hop and dub :) I like it! Funnily enough, I used the word scintilla in something I was writing just before noticing your choice lol Thank you for the music my friend .. great selection this week.

I remember you including the word in your post, I think the last one you made so then I put it together! Vibrational word if I remember correctly. I've been enjoying the artist quite a bit lately, my brother put me onto them a couple months ago.

Here you go

I like the song, although I have the feeling it could have been much better, still, it is a nice vibe.

Hey @dedicated guy hope you're well my friend .. Ah man wouldn't it be a boring old world if we all liked the same things :) That said I did like this one .. not heard it before, but it's a pleasant surprise .. nice dreamlike quality to it. As always thank you for the music my friend!

Wow this would pair well with some mushroom tea xD
Here is my choice this week a live version of Block Party's 'Like Eating Glass'

Hop you're well @bengiles Haha yes I'd imagine it would be a winning combination lol Reading festival .. been there many times, never seen Bloc Party .. although I would certainly like to after watching this! Great energy and a great track .. I like!! Thank you for the music my friend .. I really enjoyed this one.

Keepin' it Irish again this week.

Man this is a new band on me but I like it .. I love the whole 60's 70s rock and (true) rhythm and blues sound and I'm loving the Celtic fusion, great stuff! Talking of Irish bands I was listening to Stiff Little Fingers the other day .. another great band! And Jonny Was is a great track! Thank you for the music my friend .. excellent choice!

A great track indeed and a superb drum intro. I know it was a Marley cover but they really made it their own.

oh I am so late this week but my week would not be the same if I didn't share some music, I love your choice this week, thank you my friend. and this is mine. A Tribe Called Red

Brilliant my friend, you never cease to surprise and captivate my musical imagination :) I love these beautiful tribal sounds and chants! Thank you for the music my friend, I very much enjoyed this one!

Dude, some are calling unreality more real than real! As you know I'm not really sure but I think unreality is real:D
I only had it in me to take caffeine chocolate almonds last night and they fulled another Loopytunes:


Just a note that I do the Loopytunes myself here and they are not up to broadcast​ quality, but it's a creative outlet.
Cheers!

Yeah and equally .. one man's reality is another's unreality and so who defines reality lol With regards to the deeper thoughts I was just literally using the music .. it kind of puts me into that abstract mind space.

Your composition is as always excellent .. love the trippy vibes, your neighbours must love you! lol Thank you for the music my friend .. as always I very much enjoyed :D
