Deep Voices #7 on Spotify Deep Voices #7 on Apple Music Weird mix here. Antsy week. Couldn’t quite nail down a specific vibe for the mix, as I couldn’t nail one down for myself. I did most of this in small bursts while my baby was napping or bouncing in his chair. He’s happy most of the time, but so much of the music I like is sad. It’s strange to square the difficulty of the isolation of quarantine with the radiating bliss that comes beaming out of this guy. Since Renzo was born in February, I’ve experienced just about every emotion on the spectrum, oftentimes all at once. My wife will tell me she knows how I feel based on what I’m listening to (“I know you’re sad when you put on Wicca Phase,” she said to me recently.) Usually I try to mimic my feelings with music, but sometimes I try to have the music act as a sort of change agent. There always a positive feeling in the house when I play Jeanette’s “In the Morning.” It’s pure pop, but it has that tinge of longing that I love, too, like like the morning is a time of celebration because she got through the night. For sadder times, Movietone’s “Blank Like Snow” (which is not on Apple Music is barely there and appropriate for the recent days where I am grasping for purpose, where I have felt like I didn’t exist. “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” is a classic, but also a message I have recently learned only gets you so far. There are some shoes you just can’t wear.
