If Earth Day had a soundtrack, I’m pretty sure this song would be included.
You know that incredibly calming sense of presence you get when you just take a moment to feel the intense beauty of the environment that surrounds you after being wrapped up in your own thoughts? The amazing sound of leaves fluttering in the wind? The electrifying feeling of the icy cold ocean creeping up and touching your toes? The sense of unity with nature? Or better yet, the soothing nature of feeling in general? That’s exactly how I felt while watching that music video.
That lovely piece was created by The Books, a musical group composed of a couple of guys from New York who, put simply, create incredible sounds. What’s more amazing is that Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto do all of their own sample collecting, composing, writing, recording, mixing, and mastering using PCs running cheap software and “ragtag equipment that [they’ve] pieced together over the years.” That’s my kind of artist! Taking DIY to the extreme!
Happy EVERY Day!
Love to All,
Carla
