MIA

Morning Angela, glad you’re feeling better today. BCG can be such a trial. Your mindfulness advice and wellbeing advice to Nigel reminded me of one of my coping strategies I used during painful BCG moments. Following my 2nd Instillation I was waiting the dreaded two hours before trying to pee anticipating the sting. Reading was a no no and couldn’t concentrate. Music? Maybe? I played a Kate Bush track “Hello Earth” and was captivated by the male voices on the track chorus. I found out the idea is from a Georgian folk song. I found that and played it. The voices and chorus are so beautiful and wistful. The two hours shot by. The first pee was still excruciating. Have a listen to both. Hello Earth-Kate Bush and Tsintskaro- Song from Karelia- Kakhetia by The Rustavi Choir. Enjoy or Not. Garviv

Its fascinating Garviv that I have listened to Hello Earth many times and never occurred to me to look deeper than just listening. Kate bush is quite the genius isnt she. I have never even heard of Georgian folk music , but listened to the track with an open mind( folk music isnt a genre i would normally listen to ) and found it incredibly soothing, almost monastic . Thanks my friend, you always bring something new to the table x

Hi Angela,I wrote out some tracks to put on your music thread and I’ve mislaid the list.I’ll add them when I find it as it would be good to get it going again.Love Jane x

Hi Jane, I have just added Kate Bush to bump it up the lists posted. looking forward to seeing what you have chosen x

Yes fascinating and haunting voices. Where and how do I find your music thread? Garviv
