You are what you listen to. Okay, I don’t think that’s exactly how that phrase goes. However, the music you choose to consume can impact your life in positive and negative ways. The conclusion of a 2022 study at Harvard Medical School states: “Music boosts our mood and well-being, and music therapy may help during treatments for certain health conditions.” We offer you a curated list of gourmet music because we believe it is full of artistic depth, creative energy, and spiritual encouragement. Will this playlist cure your current health crisis? Not likely. But discovering some of the most meaningful music on the planet is sure to boost your mental health and give you a better outlook on life. Enjoy and be well!
Curator’s Notes (FEB-APR 2024)
There is a LOT to discover on this playlist with over 4.5 hours of well-crafted music. Many artists released projects or singles over the last few weeks (and in the last couple of months of 2023) – and so the majority of songs here are hot off the presses. But we also include live renditions, remixes, throwbacks, and some debuting artists. Hopefully this is as fun for you as it was for me to put it together. (Dave)
