SYNESTHESIA'S SESSION NOTES FOR FEBRUARY 2021

FROM THE DJ'S STUDIO DESK:

Love in the time of COVID...

This time one year ago, COVID 19 had not take its full hold over the nation. We were still going about our business just as we always had during our respective lifetimes. Socializing, banding together physically and all of our social events that are designed to bring us together has all been replaced with isolation, being apart and devising new ways to create an emotional closeness as we are unable to be physically together. 

Has love changed?

I would like to believe that if love has changed during this time of COVID, it has only grown in its intensity and importance because with our world so much on fire, it really is as U2 sang..."Love Is All We Have Left."  

I can feel that love as I miss being able to visit my Mom safely or to spend time with friends without worry. I can feel that love as I am so concerned for the continued safety and livelihoods of my friends who are local business owners or my friends who are working musicians and without having locations in which to perform. I can feel that love in all of us who are out in the world of the pandemic every day, continuing to work for the betterment of our families even as our lives, and emotional sanity, are at risk. 

I can unquestionably feel that love in the music being created and released.   

I have expressed this feeling many times over 2020 that with all of the horror of the year, the music released, from end to end was absolutely glorious in composition, performance and overall execution. The love in the communion between artist and muse was palpable, creating a greater urgency and purpose to the music being made. Therefore, so many artists, from newcomers to veterans, amassed material that spoke to the soul just at the point when it was needed in order to process what it is like to live within this new, frightening, lonelier world where the need for connection simultaneously became  more precarious and crucial. 

And for me, that love existed in the listening. The music released made for direct hits and also ones that only continued to reverberate over time, and in doing so, I am hoping that we have an arsenal of timeless art that music fans 50 years from now can look back upon in amazement just as I look in amazement at the music created 50 years ago from right now. 

We need love and in turn, love needs us. What are your songs of love? What are the songs that you love? What music might even conjure love right at this point when we need it the most?

Whatever it is, in this time of COVID...PLAY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SYNESTHESIA'S SESSION NOTES FOR JANUARY 2021

FROM THE DJ'S STUDIO DESK: 

It looks like we have finally made it to 2021, which is truly a feat in and of itself after the past year we have all experienced. And in all honesty, even as the page of the calendar has turned, all of the turmoil remains at its fever pitch. But, somehow, someway (and maybe I am just feeling this in this moment as I am writing), I am trying to feel hopeful for what 2021 can bring.

At midnight, when 2020 officially became 2021, Foo Fighters released "No Son Of Mine," their second single from their upcoming album "Medicine At Midnight." As in standard Foo style, the song was a hard charging effort, filled with guitars and glory and an energy that made me feel as if we kicked down a door or several to get ourselves in to this new year. Not long thereafter, I played my annual "first day of the new year song," U2's classic "New Year's Day," and in doing so, this nearly 40 (!) year old song sounded as fresh and as untainted as the that sense of possibility that exists on the first of the year. 

And somehow, against everything that has happened and everything that is still happening, in those two distinct moments, I felt hopeful. 

I realize very well how naïve all of this sounds, especially as dire as everything is in the world. But, like those two aforementioned songs accomplished for me, they showed me how important hope is. But hope needs help and sometimes, that very help arrives in the music that speaks to our souls.

I guess if I have any words to share, any messages I wish to pass along is that hope is crucial, hope is essential, hope is a necessity of existence but hope will always need help in order to become action. Keep listening to what ever music inspires you, lifts you and serves you as you make it from one day into the next. We need it more than ever.

Of course, and as always...PLAY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
