EMBRACE THE MUSIC

MUSIC

No need to be ecstatic in welcoming 2021. Let’s keep it quietly. We, human being are fragile and vulnerable. Covid has almost killed us all. So, yeah, just stay calm. And embrace the music.

What I’ve learned this year, this pandemic has showed us—the most brutal way—how vulnerable we are, how fragile we are. We basically lost. Here today I’m not gonna be ecstatic and saying something like “Bring it on, 2021!” or “Show me whatchu got, 2021!”. Let’s keep it quietly.

And I just believe, always believe, that music helps. Music can be used to shift moods, to acknowledge sadness, to release anger, to seize a little happiness.

Embrace the music—sip some good whisky first; to stay sane and sensible.

Happy New Year. Hello you, 2021.
