Here's some serene music for those lovely mornings when the sea lies heaving in purple swells.
King Crimson - Cadence and Cascade
King Crimson is a surprising band. I never gave them much thought, but every now and then they pop up on my random iTunes because of some time when I decided to download some of their stuff, and I never know it's them, because the tracks might as well be quintessential 70s prog, hypnotic rhythmic stuff, or, like here, gorgeous little serenades. Fascinating.
Rokia Traoré - Mouneïssa
In the absence of a DAB radio in my kitchen, I have made a breakfast playlist, and this hidden gem from one of my favourite Malian singers is on it, because it makes me feel really good about starting the day.
múm - Weeping Rock, Rock
Every day that I'm not working and the weather is decent I get up early and take a walk around the island before breakfast, because it's still an absolute wonder to me to be alone with the birds and deer on the rocks.
Nina Ramsby & Martin Hederos - Fredrik Åkares Morgonpsalm
On the aforementioned breakfast playlist there are three versions of this song (because it has the word 'morgon = morning' in the title, which is how I first started the playlist), and it's well worth it, because there's something about these lyrics that just gets deep down in me.
Oscar Brown, Jr. - World of Grey
I know nothing of this. It's from a record my uncle left behind. But it's a moody and poignant song, isn't it?
