Someone once said it was their first love … and probably their last! I know what they mean.
There are two aspects of the Music category on this blog.
‘inspirational’ and ‘gorgeous’.
I find some of the best music really does fit into both - but the subtlety of the distinction in this case can be described as follows.
Inspirational

Gorgeous
Funny, as you dive into the Headspace and Calm worlds … soft rolling tracks that are designed to relax you seem to be the 🎼 they drift towards.
Yoga/Massage businesses tend to utilise similar music that I generally reference as ‘New Age’ … a genre that I do not naturally gravitate towards. That said there are many albums I listen to that could fall into the category. Not sure that I can truly explain why some I absorb, where others I reject.
The point is that it got me to thinking. If I don’t want to fall into bland rolling ‘New Age’ music … what would I listen to?
Turns out, in my collection there are a number of artists that for me that allow the gentle passage of sounds to massage my ears. I will document them under a new category … which I have rather creatively called ‘Music’.
