soundtrack to my heart

For those of you who like listening to good music, this is the soundtrack to what’s been going on in my heart of late (mid-November through the present):

when I’m soaring along on the road and feeling good:
Dehlia Low: “Going Down”
Dehlia Low: “State of Jefferson”

when I’m soaring along the road feeling nostalgic or wistful:
Dehlia Low: “Living is Easy”
Dehlia Low: “Ravens and Crows”

when I’m still and nostalgic:
The Be Good Tanyas: “Midnight Moonlight”

when I want to just really feel my feelings:
The Be Good Tanyas: “Broken Telephone”
The Be Good Tanyas: “Light Enough to Travel”
The Be Good Tanyas: “Horses”
The Be Good Tanyas: “Hello Love”

when I feel laid back and grooving:
The Be Good Tanyas: “Human Thing”
The Be Good Tanyas: “Ootischenia”

when my soul is smiling with contentment:
Dehlia Low: “Bide My Time”
Dehlia Low: “Plains of Tellico” (especially the last minute or so of the song)
Dehlia Low: "Spoon"

-- From the albums Tellico and Ravens and Crows by Dehlia Low and Blue Horse, Chinatown, and Hello Love by the Be Good Tanyas.
-- From my daydream of what my voice would sound like if I could sing and what my music would sound like if I ever learn to play the guitar, mandolin, or banjo.

-- I find that if I listen to the last three repeatedly, my heart feels light. Like yoga for the soul.
