Our top ten tunes of the week – April 3
These are the ten songs that have been on constant rotation over the past seven days:
1. Alex The Astronaut – Split The Sky
Of the song, Alex notes, “Right now, like billions of people around the world, I feel like I’ve been put in a blender and shaken up. Sometimes I would like to stop all these very scary things from happening and go back to being in primary school and feeling protected from it. ‘Split the Sky’ is a message of hope that I was trying to get myself to understand that, no matter what happens, there will always be that kid waiting–that the seasons will fall around and you’ll be in the sun again at some point. Watching Harry Potter is good for me and helps me to go back to how I felt back then.”
2. Grimes – You’ll Miss Me When I’m Not Around
Grimes shares her finished video in front of a green screen, encouraging creators to generate their own videos, as part of a collective art project, using the raw files and audio stems she is making available to all.
