While I like to think that my taste in music stays approximately the same through the ages, it's still true that different songs resonate more deeply (musically and/or lyrically) during different life stages ... different moods ... different hours within a day, sometimes. This is, I've little doubt, true of almost everyone on the face of the earth, if they listen to music at all.
Lately I've actually been in almost an anti-music phase. I mean, not philosophically or even literally anti-music ... I just like the quiet, and even when music is on, I can ignore it (unless I hate the song; then I can't). But when I do turn something on, this is what I love right now. Maybe you'll love it, too - or have in the past - or will sometime in the future.

You may notice a certain recurring pattern with some of the artists listed above ... and maybe a contemplative mood common to many of the songs ... and who knows what other subliminal messages may be accidentally sending themselves. Most of the videos aren't really worth watching (a few might be). Most of the songs aren't new (a few are, sort of). But they're good, and my heart needs them right now.
