Weekend self-care open thread: Music that moves you


I had Friday off, and what a fortuitous day. As of this writing we are receiving our first major storm of the season. I was in bed with my snuggle bunny Meg la perra loca most of the day, listening to the rain fall, snuggling, and napping. And then I went YouTube scrolling. Not for politics; no, not ever. I keep my YouTube wanderings, to the extent that I can, politics-free. No, as always, with music. And this is what the algo gave me:


Yes. I do always get choked up listening to Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor, and this video is simply a summation of the lives of two people who know they're dying. (June Carter Cash died first, and then Johnny followed her four months on.)

So, for this weekend's self-care, we will visit music which moves us. These are some of mine.


Please flood the comments with your own selections. As much as we can, let us leave the grubby world of politics behind us this weekend.

As always, dear friends, be ever kind, gentle, and joyful with yourselves and those around you.
