Music Monday (feel free to add your own tracks)

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 its 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.

Hope everyone is well and has enjoyed a really good week? I've been in a reflective frame of mind, so this week I've gone for something beautiful and inspirationaI. No words are spoken and none are needed .. for me, it's one of those tracks where I can turn on, turn off and float free on a sea of dreams, ethereal soundscapes and imagination. I hope you enjoy!

I really enjoyed your choice this week. It's not something I'd've discovered myself.

Here's Joe Jackson for no reason at all.

I enjoyed the selected piece, I am participating in @whatsup's milk challenge, so I used your Monday Music tag and made a post featuring three songs I like. I am sure I shared one of them with you and your audience before, but it is one of those songs that I like to share. So here is a link if you are interested.
Day Three - Milk Challenge - Music Monday

Such a cool soundtrack. Something tells me I'll be tuning in to hear this piece quite a bit now that you have brought it to my attention :)

I'm going to hit you with a track from a small NZ band you probably haven't heard of before. Check it out, enjoy ;)

Very chilled, laid back summer vibes .. and seeing as it's winter over here in blighty, very much welcome :) Thank you for the music and the introduction my friend .. really enjoyed this one.

Hey my friend .. hope you're feeling much better :) Love your choice this week, so raw and immediate, the true essence of music .. sounds for the people, not the corporate entities :) Thank you for this slice of street art @palikari123 .. as authentic as it gets!

It was nice to listen/contribute something here again as it's been way too long. I'm getting there slowly:) I hope to be writing something again soon.

I made it!!!!! Finally....seems like forever. lol. I have a few instrumentals I like to relax to but my all time favorite would have to be Sade's Punch Drunk.

That was a beautiful video you posted, a bit weird at the end, wasn't really sure how to mix that all in with the rest of the video but it was soothing to listen to.

Hey @sunlit I hope you've been keeping well my friend, glad you enjoyed my choice this week, they actually mixed in another video at the end .. it's from another track I may play at some point so I kind of understand the story behind it, but yes it could be seen as a little out of context. Really enjoyed your choice this week, Sade is just the height of relaxation and calm, makes me want to sit in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot chocolate, or maybe I'm just getting old lol. I remember when she first entered the music scene with a sound that was so new and different .. even now it's instantly recognisable. Thank you for shaing and thank you for the music @sunlit .. a listening pleasure.

I use to love to lay in my tanning bed with that song on repeat while I tanned. I often found myself all warmed up inside, laying there relaxing to the point that I'd fall asleep awaking into the cold of the sweat underneath me. It was all good though, always worth every minute of that relaxing, soothing warmth and the sweet rhythm of the music.
