Have you ever had a moment where you heard, saw, or read
something and all the hairs on the back of your neck tingle? Where you know you
are experiencing something that is beyond just listening or observing? Where
you truly feel like you’re connecting with something deeper? Over the past
year, I’ve been privileged to have several of these moments and I feel it is my
responsibility to promote the works that have truly touched my life!
Now, I listen to A LOT of music, watch quite a few movies, and read the occasional book every year. Most of it I feel is disposable and some just plain entertaining. I consider the following list to stand head and shoulders above being labeled simply either. I would be great for you to be able to experience what I experience listening, watching, and reading these pieces of art. Obviously, we all have different preferences and tastes, but I think these are just exceptional regardless of personal opinion.
In closing, I’d LOVE to hear what songs, movies, and books “did it” for you this past year! By all means, reply back to this blog and let us know what’s amazing out there. There’s just too much good quality art being made these days to ingest it all! Happy listening, watching, and reading…
Yours,
