What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

I drifted onto an uncertain path.
Not listened to Mariah in a while, but seemed a perfectly valid next step following Madge🤷🏻‍♂️


Mariah Carey: Music Box (On CD)
Edit: Foot’s tapping along quite nicely, forgot how pure her voice was back in the early days😊

Great album, the lyrics of the title song hit me hard a couple of years ago, when I was close to a burn-out.

“I live in this frequency, its a frequency just for me”

In time to stave it off, though, but the song will always resonate. That and the fact these guys are incredibly good. It’s both complicated and understated.

Yeah @Boekster, the lyrics on all of there albums are so well crafted and searching. I do like this album a lot, but Your Wilderness is still my absolute favourite, although I am liking It Leads To This an awful lot too.
Ah hell, they’re all brilliant…:man_shrugging:t2:

@QuickSticks They have a sense of melancholy to them, which is generally what triggers me the most. It’s an easy way to provoke emotion in me and, since music is in a large part catharsis for me, I tend to gravitatie there. Their later albums have it more than their former. I got into them when Someone Here Is Missing got released. Also a magnificent album, albeit on the more heavy side at times. I quickly bought their back catalog after :slight_smile:

I have much the same relationship with music.
There is nearly always music on in my house apart from 2 or 3 hours of an evening, when we watch TV.
One of my favourite times for music is bedtime.
I love to go to sleep listening to music. It generally soothes away the worst days.
