Capturing the Wind

Now let me address the title, for of course we cannot catch the wind. (Nor can we find its name, though we can try.) However, the attempt was made, and it was made with the utmost care and energy. So, for all intents and purposes, we captured the wind. And I find the result mesmerizing.

In my latest endeavor to discover new music from you lovely Vocalites, I requested that you find a song or few that made you think of a summer breeze, a stormy gust, or perhaps, the perfect stillness of the air. And you delivered! From experimental selections from the seventies to instrumental low-fi and classical pieces to much more modern pop songs, our playlist is as eclectic as the subject matter.

Before the big reveal, I admit I had this one up for quite a bit of time. Nearly a month, in fact. I did not intend for this! September has simply flown by. I'm glad I waited, though, because I got five more songs out of it!

If you're wanting (yes, you, reader!), I invite you to comment with more suggestions whenever you want. Comment here, or on the original post.

I hope you enjoy! I'm of the extremely biased opinion that the end result sounds marvelous!

So without further ado...

The Playlist!

Spotify "Feel the Wind"

Youtube "Feel the Wind"

I did my best to arrange the songs for the best flow, but by all means, press Shuffle and be surprised! As promised, I have included a YouTube and Spotify version to cover my bases for anyone who wants to listen.

Big thank you to everyone who participated! I learned so many new artists and songs, which is its own reward. I hope you all enjoy this eclectic mix of songs too!

Enjoy! And cheers! I hope you stick around for the next one.

A/N: Right now, I have two ideas for our third community playlist. Would you let me know which one sounds more fun to you? I hope to post the third prompt in roughly a week.

The first playlist idea is themed around nostalgic songs from childhood. This would be anything that gives you memories from being a kid, whether it be from a movie or show, something that your parents introduced you to, or a song that played at a party or event, whatever.

The second is songs that we all deem the "most beautiful." My choices are between two classical songs, but I don't mind which genre you choose, as long as it's what you consider the "most beautiful" song. Ideally, everyone would have only one song in mind, one that can't be matched. I know that sounds ridiculous and impossible, but I feel that the use of the superlative "most" prevents there being ties. 🫣

Let me know which one you like the sound of most!
