I feel like I forgotten about my little corner of inspiration, but I really trying to recover. Taking some break made me find new amazing music and ,obviously, musician. Thanks to amazing SamFish Music, who makes awesome chill out indie playlists. I would like to introduce you all to Jacob Raymond and his music.


The song that I heard first was Back to the Start, that Jacob released the previous year. It made me shiver and relax at the same time. Chills that were running down my spine were because of the depth and meaning of the words Jacob Raymond is singing. Haven't heard in a while this kind of song, where lyrics of it can be related to my life. Even though artist obviously sings about break up and how he wants to get everything back and start from the very beginning , I hear also some other life aspects that he wants to change. What makes Back to the Start so charming is the calmness, how acoustic guitar and vocals work together, everything is in a perfect balance. Also other stringed that are entering to add more expressiveness don't sound harsh or like soul is tearing apart, no. Violin and cello bring the told story to new level. Since at those moments there are no lyrics it makes me see the whole song that way: while Jacob singing and playing guitar it is like he is telling the part of what happened and what is missing, then cello enters and it gives a good moment vibe and then violin and cello without words is the moment when happy shared moments are scrolling in memory like in a movie. Does it make sense? But this is exactly what I see and feel.


Also, Jacob Raymond released his new songs Shattered Bones and I Feel Like a Ghost a couple months ago. Those are really different from Back to the Start. Less acoustic, more electro, but still very touchy and relaxing. Great music material to replay if you wanna chill out. This is why I love Jacob's songs so much, he makes it sound so simple, so natural, it fits your day, fits your life. If you are moody you can listen to whole lyrics and give yourself a good brainstorm. If you have a long day or if you are lying on the beach those songs will be your good companion to disrupt/make the atmosphere. This all is up to you, but go check out Jacob Raymond and his music, cause it definitely worth it. You can find him here https://soundcloud.com/jacobraymondmusic . ENJOY!
