“Music is therapy even when used for pure listening pleasure.

As we relax the body and mind, breathing becomes deeper and we are pulled into the music, where we become more focused and attuned to ourselves and the world around us.”

Raffaele Baldassaro (2008)

LCDD.

For Zaruf Ezhan, a musician studying Contemporary Music Practice, LCDD by TommyHeavenly6 has not only inspired him musically but has also saved his life.


"I'd been playing guitar for years and was just playing in cover bands... and I love so many different types music. At the same time I had a really bad year and was feeling down and I heard this song, and I checked out the singer's other band its called 'The Brilliant Green'. They have great melodic pop songs, and I realized that I have a big fondness for pop melodies, and I love simple 3 chord progression songs cos I'm a huge punk rock fan AND I love 90s sounding, happy melody lines and the combination of these elements - is the type of music that I want to make. It made me realize things about me that I didn't know as well. I'm not sad, I'm not political and I'm not out there to save the world, it's just about having fun and doing what you love. So I've made my life's goal now to make good, upbeat music that's played with passion - so you can tell a lot of thought has gone into writing the songs (which is something I think is lacking these days)!!

So basically that song, and 'The Brilliant Green', are just great music with sweet sweet melodies that have really lifted me up when I was in a bad period of my life. They showed me who I was artistically, and it has also given myself something to reach for in the world. So it saved my life both literally and metaphorically."


I'd never heard of this before, but it's a cool song!
Check it out :)!

Thankyou Zaruf for sharing your song :)
