Look For Me At Coldharbour: The OST of Every Day

Sort of taken a step back from the Trance scene for a bit recently. Mostly because all of my friends from around the globe are going to WMC, TE, ASOT450 and can't stop talking about it. I listen as much as I can and as patiently as I can...but I have to say, it's hard. (To those of you reading who are at/going to these events, I love you and it's not your fault...like the old break-up cliche goes, "It's not you, it's me") I'm still of course tuned in to as many radio shows as I possibly can, but for some reason I'm a little less effervescent in the whole soul-upliftment department. I know this will pass...I'm sure around April 15th ish I'll stop being such a pissy/jealous brat and revert back to my old psychotic ways. Enjoy this lull while it lasts, non-TranceAddicts...you have been warned LOL

Anyway the upside to all of this is that I've been opening my mind up to and allowing myself to enjoy other musical genres (and no, I'm not talking about bassline-driven Trance vs euphoric Trance type genres...I mean for realsies :P)! So here are the songs that are currently a part of my daily routine, in chronological order:

Good Morning!

I heard this song more than a year ago, but I've recently rediscovered my love for it thanks to the video that's getting a lot of (well deserved, if slightly belated) airplay. It's easily my go-to song for peace right now - oh god the accordion...it's divine.

First tea break

The quintessential Hindi film music hook - catchy Hinglish lyrics, a very danceable beat, and a heavy dose of natkhat (non-Hindi speakers, I have absolutely NO idea how to translate this word, sorry) attitude. Not to mention the fact that the video features some of the most stunning visuals I've seen in ages, and I'm not talking about Italy either ;)

Afternoon anti-nap pump up song

Don't judge OK. I know I wasn't really feeling this song way back in November when it first came out, but I have to admit it gets me grooving with my shot of espresso as I have to painfully edit articles with semicolons in the wrong places and writers who use "who" instead of "whom". Plus Lil Wayne + Swizz Beatz...nuff said.

Post-work drive home/drinks accompaniment

It's very difficult for me to admit to having a David Guetta song on repeat. But it is a pretty glorious little tune. And it also perfectly summarises a lot of my adult life ;) Anyway, I'm going to justify my embarrassing love for this one by saying it's Kid Cudi's very sexy presence in the song that makes it what it is. Just look at him - sigh, I could do this all day...

Wrapping up my day/introspection accompaniment

The only Trance song on this list. I have probably heard this song 280 times in the last month...and it doesn't affect me any less even today. The piano and vocals have this beautiful ethereal quality to them and it's probably this that makes my heart weep a little each time. I don't know what 2010 has done to me - this and "Never Cry Again (JvD Remix)" are two of my favourite tracks of the year...me? A Vocal Trance softie? Who woulda thought.
