5 Songs for Reflection

One thing that we often forget to do in going through life every day is process—process conversations, comments, interactions, tragic and joyful events, etc.. Sometimes it's hard to clear your head. I find that sometimes the right song helps me rest enough to then think about what's happening within and around me. Here are five I particularly enjoy!

"Dance Slow Decades" - Angel Olsen

This Mazzy Star-esque tune is great for reflecting with the sunset.

"Song of the Sun" - Timbre

You might describe this one as enchanting, you might describe it as cheery. It's definitely both.

"All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands" - Sufian Stevens

Stevens never disappointing--even with his grand musical versatility.

"Clearing" - Grouper

Quiet and quivering, this one is for a rainy day.

"Another Weekend" - Ariel Pink

While I just love the way this song sounds, it also makes me think about the passing of days.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
