In Heaven [mixtape]

So I made another mix.  Close friends have heard it, and I feel it’s time I shared it here. This was an attempt to capture my outlook right now.  Or then, rather.  There are distinct first and second halves, and I the latter could be a “healing” side.  It’s definitely a warmer, rising sensation.  There’s more than that, but the sound is what matters.

It’s called In Heaven.  Download it here.

These are some of the most profound and beautiful songs I’ve had in my life recently.  Some of them are old favorites and some are fresh discoveries.  The mix pivots closely around two sides of this.. thing.  It tells a story.  There’s flying, falling, dreams and fears and something lurking always in the background.  I know no one else feels the through-line in all of this like I do, but I hope you feel something real and enjoy the journey.  I will post a full track list in the comments shortly, but for now I’ll take guesses.

The sun is rising

The ocean is shining

We are smiling

It’s getting better

It’s time for action

Time for action

- Yoko Ono

About David James

I try to do good in life. I strive to help others. My drive is to open minds, and share art which aids in achieving that goal. Writing is what I do. Music is my passion.

  2. thank you. i enjoyed this a great deal; somehow it suited my mood exactly at the time i listened to it. really enjoyed the sam hatzaras tape as well…

  3. Wow, I am a bit surprised at how much I like the Yoko Ono track. It’s quite beautiful. I had never really listened to any of her music before.

    • It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? Ono is one of the brightest jewels in the art world; the unfortunate millstone of history around her neck prevents wider acceptance, I feel, and we are all more impoverished for it.

      If you’d like to hear the album this track came from, let me know!
