Easy remedies to combat modern anxiety
There are some mornings that the simplest tasks like shaving, making coffee, getting through congested morning traffic and having a meeting with your boss turns into something like a Don Quixote adventure – it’s you , sword in hand, fighting an evil windmill as big as a New York City skyscraper . Getting in your car you have that familiar feeling know that deep down inside of you it’s going to be one of those days. It’s too late to do anything. What can you do to make the day a little more bearable?
My personal suggestion is to slurp down not a double but triple espresso or simply take an anti- depressive, however preferably not at the same moment. But wait a minute! This is a music blog. It’s called utopicmuisc not utopicprozac. So if I were you I would try to seek shelter in the magic of music instead of anything else.
Now that you are bored senseless I’d like to speak about a band that could save your day: Es.
With a light touch but great ability, this Italian band takes us on a magical mystery tour of some of the most difficult and explosive themes our times by using an intelligent mix of irony and humor. Even though their songs leave you happily humming they remain impressed in your mind thanks to the superb arrangements and innovative musical techniques.
Have a listen to Es in your car while going to work. If you arrive uptight and in a bad mood you probably are not reading the right blog..
