Unwind Rewind 91 Sign of the times

Today we start with a Leonard Cohen song that is 50 years old… To then discover some more contemporary jewels… We see how artists get inspired by the generation before and how they elaborate music into the sounds of their own… We go back and forth in time just like sampled songs do… Then to a few covers that will blow you away. We end with sign of the times as all the music we hear now is a representation of this era we live in…

Unwind Rewind 84 There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in

As Leonard Cohen teaches us

“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in”

Ahead of Hanukkah, the festival of light , we go back to our childhood dreams, our heartbreaks and connect to our inner child’s wishes. We remind ourselves to accept darkness in order to have light. We remember that we are all equal even if different. That the contrast of black & white is necessary in order to find balance. No darkness without light, no light without darkness.

May you all have a wonderful Hanukkah and get lost in an abundance of light…
