As the year gathers musical momentum, powerful songs begin to accumulate. I am compiling a bi-monthly list now in order to have a better year-end sample for polling on my December look back over 2026.

I found these ten songs all to be remarkable and they are well worth searching out on YouTube.

Mimi O’Bonsawin & The Pairs  -   Better Than Before

Moira & Claire x Noah Malcolm - two word answers 

Jani Lauzon – Symphony For The Black Crow Woman

Happy Birthday Ken Whiteley - Interview This Friday

 

Music For Cosmic Nomads Coming This Friday

"We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems."

~ Arthur O'Shaughnessy ~
