Music that Moves

Sometimes, I need a little soul, a little grooviness, a little boom-boom-bass and rhythmic flow of sounds to get me going. Today has been a perfect example. It's August in Atlanta, and it's too darn hot outside to get my sweat-on. And, on a day like today, I crave something soulful, something warm and flowy to connect with my body. Proper music is key.

So, while pasting together a new playlist this afternoon, I thought I'd share with you some artists and specific tunes who soothe my soul and encourage my body to do what it needs to do:

Ganapati Om by Donna De Lory
He Ma Durga by Donna De Lory
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
Return to Innocence by Enigma
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Amarantine by Enya
Transform by TJ Rehmi
Only Time by Enya
And the Grass Grows By Itself by Karunesh
Love's Divine by Seal
A Day Without Rain by Enya
Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Down to the River to Pray (Live) by Alison Krauss & Union Station

Sometime soon, I'll post one of my extreme heart-pumping, make-you-sweat playlists with some more fun tunes! Take care and listen to your body!
