Interactive poll: How are you today?

These are the songs speaking to me the most:

Lluís Llach: Campanades a morts This composition is a quite unique work of art. A multitude of moods and feelings woven together into a symphony of great intensity and power, both in the loud and soft sounds, combined with expressive and poetic lyrics. A requiem and memorial to a historical event, the notorious crushing of a workers’ strike by the Spanish police in the post Franco era. Despite some technical issues (ad breaks) I managed to watch the entire video featuring impressive images of the live performance and footage of the historic events.- An audio live recording of this piece as part of a live album is available on youtube and spotify which allowed me to listen to the entire piece without interruption. 

The Grassy Knoll: Unbelievable Truth Powerful, intense, restless, worrying. All these attributes I would assign to this piece. There’s a multitude of musical influences but basically their music is rooted in experimental jazz and jazz fusion including hip-hop rhythms. This reminds me very much of Shabaka Hutchings’ The Comet Is Coming, one of my favourite recent discoveries but hey, The Grassy Knoll did that some twenty years ago (or so) already!

Pink Floyd: Breathe After this roller coaster of emotions which also reflect my current mood, Pink Floyd’s Breathe offers an oasis of peace and quiet, here played in a very intimate way with an acoustic guitar sounding so full and warm. What a comfort that is! I don’t mind that it is a well-known song, since there are certain songs that accompany us throughout life, isn’t it?

I’m glad that some of you appreciated my contribution. As mentioned earlier I actually think that such a song shouldn't be part of any kind of competition or poll, but I felt that a song from Ukraine should not be missing at this particular occasion. I know various Ukrainian artists and bands but this song really represents me or the way I feel atm.
