Sonic Groove Live, Week 25 - My Top 5

---

Is it spring yet?

I can't quite tell...

We're having a sort of pre/teaser/not-really-real kinda springish mid-season here in Portland.

It's rather confusing for my nervous-system; beautiful, sunny mornings accompanied by bitterly cold wind. The chimes outside my window have been singing non-stop.

I just keep breathin' through it – juggling camera and paintbrush and laptop with still tender paws – trying to find quiet moments between all the noise of obligation...relishing the silences.

And...enjoying the task of listening to your earnest entries, of course. ;)

My selections for this week are as follows...

---

---

First

@ylich • 'A cantar calypso vengo yo' (Original)

Ooooh, YES!! You had me dancing in my seat and grinning wide, giggling as I watched your joyful, smiling face. Your energy is absolutely infectious, every.single.week. <3 I so appreciate you!

Second

@contrabourdon • 'Andante Religioso" from Sonata IV, Op. 65' by Felix Mendelssohn (Cover)

What a delightful dance you share – the well-metered choreography between skillful hands and feet, expertly led by quiet eyes. I'm particularly fond of your shiny black shoes and cheerful socks. ;)

Third

@partitura • 'Domenico Zipoli, Tocada' (Cover)

I love it...listening to you play this lighthearted composition genuinely lifted my spirits – made me take a few much-needed deep breaths. Thank you.

Fourth

@kantos • 'EL TRAMAO' (Cover)

Hard to beat the magic that is you two making music together. You really do make quite a wonderful pair! Such a playful tune – very well performed. :)

Fifth

@lk666 • 'Stolen Soul' (Original)

Wonderfully introspective and painfully honest, this one. I appreciate your vulnerability. Awesome to know you wrote it for @meno's song-writing challenge. Thanks for sharing!.

Honorable Mentions

@davidsuarezms • ’Farolito’ (Cover)

Your passionate vocals got me with this one. So beautiful!
