Essential Elemental — Diggin’ In The Dirt
Above, below, in, and across; 9 songs about our earth
How many topics for music challenges can people come up with? Ye gads!
I was already happily addicted to the Rate-a-Record prompt. Which I think is perfect for two main reasons.
· It’s short to read and write.
· Quick to the music and with a busy schedule, two songs to play through from start to finish is about as ideal as it can get.
Now, I’ve been tagged and invited to take on one or more of the four elements and find music to match. So, as my week ticked by working on work that pays, I scribbled down two options; water and earth, then below them threw down songs to fit.
Although I am a water hound, be it a river, lake, ocean, or stream, I let the list flow away as more songs about the ground beneath my feet came to my ears.
For this playlist, I give you nine songs that touch high above and far below and showcase the jewels of our fantastic planet.
Digging in the Dirt — Peter Gabriel.
Who doesn’t like getting their hands dirty? The feeling of that pleasant, soft, cool earth raked through your fingers.
