Way too much on my mind... I long for a simpler, quieter time, but now, it all seems so cacophonous and loud. People are shouting in righteous anger - some are shouting for justice and rights which have been denied for decades or centuries. Others are shouting for other reasons - less clearly justified to me, but nonetheless, there is a lot of shouting. Every day brings at least one new "breaking" atrocity from the current president. And, we are all - justifiably (I think) angry.
In Nashville, there wee 688 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours - another new record. Cases are on the rise in several states, and yet, I see people who seem to be living their lives as if nothing is going on. And, so, for those us who are taking this seriously, there seems to be no end in sight. There is a void of leadership on this issue and apathy if not outright disdain for taking precautions from the masses.
I don't know - I think I need to listen to some music... let's go!
And, we have reached the end of our review of the Featured Friday Playlist from 7/3/2020. A brand new playlist will be up tomorrow. You can still check out this week's playlist until the new one posts. We have the final three songs to review. Songs 17-19. As usual, I saved some of our best music for the end. Also, please follow E2TG Featured Friday Playlist on Spotify so you don't miss anything!
17. "Laura Jones" by Matthew Frederick
We start things off with a wonderful song by a singer-songwriter from Wales. Frederick fronts the band Climbing Trees. This is his brand new single.18. "Typhoon" by Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards
Next, we have the second Featured Friday appearance for Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards - it is the latest single ahead of the July 17th release of their new album Bitter Better. Cortese is now based in Belgium, and the album was recorded ahead of the quarantine.19. "Contradictions" by Petter Carlsen
And we close out this segment and the playlist with another returning artist. The Norwegian singer-songwriter is back with another track from his forthcoming new album The Sum of Every Shade.
I hope you enjoyed listening to this week's playlist at least as much as I love bringing it to you. Tune in tomorrow for a brand new list. We already have 36 minutes of music on deck - and that is before tomorrow's new releases and any last minute adds. It looks like next week's list could be a long one!
