The 004 vs. COVID19
We're living in very strange times. We are seeing the best and worst of humanity. With the uncertainties of the global lockdown, it is very heartwarming to see that content creators are still going out of their way to create more content to boost the morale like my good friends, The 004 are doing with their music video to Nothing I Can't Achieve titled on Youtube as 30 countries united against #COVID19.

The Time Beach House Hit Me Right in the Feels
I’m lying on the floor in a fetal position with music tumbling in my ears. I press my cheek down against the ground, stare up at the My Bloody Valentine album hanging on my wall, and water the faux-fur carpet beneath me with salty tears. The stray crumbs from an age-old Nature Valley bar dig into my side, and, on my desk, a stray noodle lies flaccid next to an empty cup of Top Ramen. A diffuser sits in the corner, puffing out a blend of scents that traverse beneath my bed, rub into the pink rug I’m now scrunching between my fingers, and swirling in sync with my spinning record player.

Music is Medicine for the Soul..
1-20: Jess Glynne At the top of my quarantine playlist is the iconic Jess Glynne; starting with my favorite collaboration with Raye. I first discovered Jess Glynne in 2015 when she collaborated with Clean Bandit to create ‘Rather Be.’ Since that song came out she has released a few albums and they found their way to my playlist, some of the albums have a feel to it that makes you want to dance or the dishes and the others make you contemplate emotions like ‘Thursday’ or ‘Why Me.’ My absolute favorite from her recent album ‘Always in Between’ will have to be ‘I’ll Be There’ because it is uplifting to hear this amazing song about someone being there when you are at your lowest. I listen to Jess Glynne when I draw or walk around the block to get a clear head.

Rex Orange County has the uncapped ability to paint an emotional rollercoaster and it's his version of a song.
The original capture of his musical prowess for me was his album, Apricot Princess. The low-driven approach that softly tingles your heartstrings has worked the many times I need a song. Sometimes it's just a happy song, a relaxing song, one for studying, and one for being more emotional. I don't always choose his music, but it might just reappear on my queue. Before I know it, I'm enticed by the gentle caressing nature of his music alone. But this song storyline and wording has this ability to make me remember things that I wasn't thinking about and cause me to get emotional. And for that reason, it can provide something new to me each time I listen.

Matia Music
There is Love... I need to talk about a woman that has touched my life deeply like no other human has ever done. Sometimes I get all teary eyed when I think of her of what she has done for me and others, including animals. Let me introduce to you Matia Brizman. Matia is a doctor, a singer, songwriter and animal rescuer. Matia plays a big role in my daily life. Listening to her music is a daily thing for me. I first learned about Matia about 15 years ago when my health started to fail. I was chronically ill, but with the care, help and incredible knowledge of Dr Matia Brizman I got better. She saved my life. Little did I know that she could sing. I found out years later. Not only can she sing, but she also writes her own songs and music and she plays instruments. Matia's song are outstanding. Her voice is so unique and incredibly beautiful. Her messages in her songs are so needed in this world. There is something in the lyrics and the music for everyone, including animals. My life has changed tremendously....Thank you Dr Matia Brizman, words can not express what you have given me, my children, my family, my friends, my animals. I am forever grateful.....

Undersung Artists
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every single human across the globe. Every industry is experiencing its own unique consequences to the crisis, and people who work in the performing arts industry have been hit especially hard. Performance spaces around the globe are closed indefinitely. Concerts, festivals, and other live events have been cancelled for at least the next few months. The bars and restaurants that used to host cocktail gigs are closed or only providing delivery and takeout services. The majority of musicians and other artists are self-employed, working freelance and hustling to fill their schedule with enough gigs to make ends meet. These conditions have made it all but impossible for most performing artists to work.
