Musical Muses and Musings

These Days - Jackson Browne (chamber ensemble version) | stories, Rachael Price & yMusic

video preview

Forget everything you thought you knew about Jackson Browne's timeless classic, "These Days." This video isn't your typical guitar and gravelly vocals affair. It's a magnificent metamorphosis, a story reborn through the luminous voices of Rachael Price and the exquisite artistry of yMusic.

Prepare to immerse yourself in a chamber ensemble masterpiece where strings whisper secrets, woodwinds sigh with longing, and percussion paints the canvas of time passing. This reinterpretation isn't just sonic alchemy; it's a touching dialogue between music and emotion, each note a brushstroke on the soul.

But visual artists, note this isn't just a captivating performance; it's a treasure trove of inspiration. Witness how light and shadow dance to the rhythm, how silence becomes a character in its own right, and how a single chord can evoke a world of unspoken stories. Let this chamber ensemble version of "These Days" ignite your creative spark, show you the infinite possibilities of storytelling through music and movement, and leave you forever changed.

And a special note for those experiencing Rachael Price for the first time: consider it your good fortune. Her voice is a revelation, a force of nature that will wrap you in its warmth and leave you wanting more. Check out her Lake Street Dive band for more delights.

So, click play, close your eyes, and let the music paint your next masterpiece.

This is "These Days" like you've never heard it before. This is art.

Hit reply and let me know your thoughts.
