Creating this new thread (I hope with permission) to sort of enliven the board's posting frequency around a very special, quite celestial topic:
M U S I C
So, what are you guys listening to lately?
Let me start off with one of my all-time favorite internet radio stations:

RADIO PARADISE (https://radioparadise.com)

Hi thisbody, presently I'm more into conversational podcasts, but I'll have to tune into Radio Paradise, its name is just too appealing!

I was amused by their description: Chosen by real humans! Not astral beings then!

streams highly curated, eclectic mixes of music -- chosen by real humans --

Hola, thisbody

I usually post what I'm listening to in the music thread, so there are different topics all over the place. In the spirit of humoring your topic, and hopefully keeping things more organized- here's what I thought about earlier today.

Before I left to see the film Sound of Freedom my Mom commented out in the driveway that she saw a butterfly and it made her happy. I paused and felt a type of happiness myself when I saw a dragonfly hovering just above her car.

Suddenly I thought about your thread and thought this would be the song to share-

Hope everyone enjoys  :)

This girl is amazing and really does something to my heart and soul music hasn't been able to do in a long time... I have romantic ideas of a beautiful mexican wife and being in love. She nourishes those feelings.

Poetic. Great vocals, beautiful lyrics... Amazing soul feelings. <3

Chosen by real humans in this context is aiming to say - We're not using any AI, nor any algorythms to create our music mixes - which is in stark contrast to most of all big music streaming platforms on the internet today.

Ah, yes, I was guessing so but I was just surprised by the fact that today it's a sign of distinction, like, hand-picked fruit, or hand-sewn dresses and so on, I would have never thought about it

For a long time, I've been a huge fan of the great jazz pianist Mccoy Tyner, from whom my web moniker, mccoy, has been derived. I collected his albums, listened to his music, even attempted to imitate his style which is just about impossible, given his monster virtuosism.

You guys made me listen again to one of the best youtube videos, a solo concert in Hamburg, where he played John Coltrane's composition giant steps, harmonic jumps in major thirds, devised by this genius of modern music. Coltrane also read the autobiography of a Yogi and was a big fan of Yogananda's book, being inspired by the footnote on Myian Tansen and his nightly raga played by day, which made the imperial palace plunge into darkness. Coltrane had a fixation on this, obsession which lasted until his premature death.

Presently, I'm mainly listening to what my son listens to. He likes pop music and Latin music, so I've kind of learnt the latest hits of this genre. I bought a large screen TV and home theater loudspeakers just to let him enjoy the music. Among the hits, this is one I particularly enjoyed, the music is nice, the video is very good, with wolves, panthers and sharks, no excess nudity and no profane lyrics like in many rap singers'. I think it's the latest from KarolG

Mulgrew Miller, recently deceased, has been probably the best jazz pianist among the not so elderly ones. He was an SRF member, inspired by Yogananda and his book.
This is one of the best performances found on youtube, with a superlative solo intro followed by a superb ensemble interpretation of this Brazilian bossanova song.
Presently, I believe he is the best jazz pianist ever.

Ah Ah, a man after my heart, you like Mccoy Tyner and Mulgrew Miller you have exceptionally good tastes!

They are different music, those jazz pianists tuned into some elaborate astral vibrations and patterns that are translated into the sounds of western harmonies, the effect they have on my brain is uplifting and stimulating at the same time.

KarolG in that song caters to more basic, earthly vibrations, in a relatively good taste, the result is funny in a way.

The thing I really like about this mans inspiration story is- no matter what's going on around you, or what life throws at you- a little Love goes such a long way... Literally nothing is holding this man back- his Spirit is the mountain.

Uwi

I can see you go for the progressive type music. I think the closest affinity we have to music is ‘Yes’. I saw them perform numerous times in the day. They were seriously 😳 from another planet. Music like ‘Topographic Oceans’ was inspired by the ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ and the Moody Blues also had a lot of spiritual oriented, uplifting music. Their ‘seventh sojourn’ album with Michael Pinder still in the band was something to inspire musicians. I have been told that the music I channel has hints of Yes. Have you played instruments yourself? We all have our inspirations from other musicians. Those two bands really inspired me spiritually. Justin Hayward has a humility about him that is quite a departure from most famous musicians.

Yet there was music like the Revolver album (Beatles) and Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys which also had some real uplifting and life changing moments that synchronized, with moments of my life, in their music as well.

Good foray of Charlie Mariano into Eastern music, I didn't know the Bangalore album.
So far my favourite piece of Indian (carnatic) music from a jazz musician is the 'killer' tune from the Samdhi (twilight) album by Rudresh Mahantappa, a New-York based alto saxophonist. The music is not easy, so far I could not discern the tempo, not a traditional western 4/4 or 3/4 or 9/8, must some crazy uneven tempo, I suspect from the bass line it would be may possible to figure it out.

Ah, yes, thanks for the link. I was forgetting about that meaning: Samdhi, the transition between two Yugas. In a way, we are still in the Samdhi between Kali and Dwapara, at least as far as social conditions are concerned. Not the whole world has fully transitioned.

This song has hit number 1 in the iTunes store and the artist who turned down an 8 million offer explains why:

Quote
People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don’t want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don’t want to play stadium shows, I don’t want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they’re being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.

...There’s nothing special about me. I’m not a good musician, I’m not a very good person. I’ve spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it’s in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away.

That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land.

When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don’t let them take it away from you.

Guys, if you have by chance clicked on the previous youtube video I posted, you may have guessed I was messing with you, and that's right. I couldn't resist.

That's obviously pretty elaborated contemporary jazz music. I found it nice, hinting at the supernatural.

This other one is a prayer, simpler than the previous, definitely.

It's a very soul-felt song. What's interesting to me is if you type in, "rich men north of richmond remix"
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rich+men+north+of+richmond+remix

and listen to the first few results, there are a bunch of people coming together and saying the same thing. A spirit of rebellion is brewing, but alas even the rebellion has been wargamed.

It is interesting to me that most of us here send music from people in the world; when most of the music I hear - accept to practice voice - is from my own channeling and developing what I ‘hear’.

"Old Man" is a song written and performed by Canadian rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Neil Young from his 1972 album Harvest. "Old Man" was released as a single on Reprise Records in the spring of 1972, reaching number 4 in Canada,[2] and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending June 3.

Background
The song was written for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for US$350,000 in 1970 (equivalent to US$2,637,446 in 2022). The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals.[3]

In the film Heart of Gold, Young introduces the song as follows:

About that time when I wrote ("Heart of Gold"), and I was touring, I had also—just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time—I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louis, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darnedest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him.
He tells a similar story when introducing the song at a February 23, 1971 performance broadcast by the BBC (in which he says that he purchased the ranch from "two lawyers").

——————————————////——//——-//////////—————————///————

And so I say; “Just blessed . Just really blessed.”

After yoga today, I was thinking about the peacock angel. I saw a peacock and decided to pull into the neighborhood. All the homes started with the number 14. They were beautiful homes.

I was listening to this song while thinking of the peacock angel and the number 14. And filled with lots of Love and a setting sun...

Often, the words we read on a screen, are not interpreted as they are presented. Instead, the filter of our personality and state of mind reads the words in a way that is void of the presenters personality, accent and gentle expression.

Namaste  :)
