This is a mixtape for a low day, a snow day, but also a wistful celebration of all forms of love, as well as a stand against hate.
It's hard to express how much I disagree with and oppose the various waves of hate of minorities, the casual racism, esp. anti-blackness and misogynoir, the transphobia we are seeing from governments, mainstream media and on social media, particularly with the hostile policies my government has towards migrants, the ongoing violence and discrimination against women everywhere -- as if it's just the status quo and we couldn't be any better than that.
Sometimes it feels as if music is the only thing I have left to say anything back, because all of that stuff leaves me speechless and tired and feeling a bit useless.
So here it is, my Rainbow Love Mixtape. Not all rainbows and unicorns. Some of it's sad and bit desperate. But ultimately, I hope, pro-hope and pro-love, like a true child of the winter (not the summer, sorry!) of 1967 😀
I’m feeling very discombobulated at the moment and with the news each week becoming more and more absurd, the angrier I get. Feels like we’re going back to the 1970s and this week the 30s. This performance is gorgeous and goes along way to confronting the Mad World we find ourselves in.
Thank you! That means a lot to me.
I just love your music @daniellemurray, I REALLY hope we hear more of it, hauntingly beautiful! It's a mad sad world but also a world filled with little miracles that give us hope for a better world.
Love this song.. Think I've got some notes how to play it on piano somewhere, I should really give it another try..
Lovely playing!
Thank you!
Nice playing Danielle
Thanks 😃
Indeed music is a wonderful thing the universe has produced. It relieves, heals, Calms and refreshes the soul.
You provided us a great tune, #kudos
Thank you - it really does!
You are welcome
It is a mad world indeed. I think some people try to stir up division as it makes it easier for them to control things. When times are hard people look for someone to blame and those who are 'different' are easy targets. Keep spreading the love.
