YUKARI (유카리) - Am I Dreaming? [dream pop]

The past few months have not been particularly kind to me. I feel fractured to my very core. But now that summer has come, I sit in my room with the cool breeze blowing in, hearing the birds chirp, finally able to breathe with some sense of tranquility. And this song plays in the background: "Am I Dreaming?" by Korean artist YUKARI (유카리). I'm thankful to have stumbled upon this.

Check out her bandcamp! This song is from her Echo album released last December.

Seu Jorge - Changes [acoustic]

Seu Jorge, musician/actor, had a role in one of my favourite movies: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In it, he performed a variety of acoustic David Bowie covers in Portuguese. That movie has definitely done much to influence my musical listenings. Most memorably, it introduced me to Sigur Rós and possibly the entire genre of post-rock.

Well, anyway, was taking a walk down memory lane and noticed that Seu Jorge released an entire album of those Bowie covers, The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions with Seu Jorge. How fantastic, even Bowie himself commented that the covers helped to remind him of the soul of his songs.

This is "Changes" from that album.
