Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture it’s true essence.
As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.

It’s been a while since I dropped a classical piece here and this is a beauty.....
American Beauty in fact, I love this piece when I feel like a bit of quiet reflection.
Thomas Newman - American Beauty.
So relaxing...

Mate, after a long and arduous day this was just the relaxation I needed .. where is my scented rose petal bath when I need it! :D Beautiful choice of music my friend I had completely forgotten about this. It redefines the word chillout and for 03.08 minutes I was left floating on a cloud of ethereal wonder .. Thank you for sharing @tremendospercy

Rockin time!
Many know Deep Purple but I am not sure how many know Burn. In a southern rock band that did all originals, this is the song I suggested we cover when they asked.
Incessant drum fills and breaks, standard awesome Blackmore, great vocals.
Rock on Monday!

Great Pick Mr Pickleman! I had an uncle that raised me on this music .. alongside Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the Bon Scott years AC/DC etc etc and so this is a very welcome blast from the past, I still have this album on vinyl somewhere?! Both Blackmore and Page are guitar Gods to me! Never heard of Burn .. did you say it was your band? Excellent choice my friend I've had this one blaring out at full volume, it's a good job I have no neighbours :D Thank you for the music @zekepickleman

Ah yes I always knew of Deep Purple but have rediscovered the deep tracks within the last 10 years or so.
One of the band I was in a few years ago wanted a cover for the set for the show most of this video was shot. I suggested Burn and we eventually went with 4 horsemen.
You can see Ol' Zeke in the credits at the end. Rhythm geetar.

Thank you for this classic @palikari123 I haven't heard this in years! Reminds me of Antigua .. some friends used to work on a tourist boat during the day and at night we used to take the boat out, drink rum and watch the sun going down whilst listening to this on the cd player .. man I need a holiday! :D Thank you for the trip down memory lane my friend, I really enjoyed listening to this great track!!

Song - The Thoughts of Mary Jane
Artist - Nick Drake
Nick Drake's voice sounds so good alongside the flute and strings. An unusually happy and uplifting Nick Drake song (to me).

Hey @jimbobbill good to hear from you :) What a beautiful choice of music, I love Nick Drake .. maybe it's because we all know his story, but his voice has such a tender yet ethereal beauty it's difficult not to be moved. Whenever I hear a Nick Drake track it's as though I'm floating on a sea of dreams. Thank you for sharing my friend!

Wow! That's an amazing find. I've always liked Steve Marriot and the Small Faces, and I was really sad when he died – but I had no idea he could sing like this! I was aware that there was a band called Humble Pie when I was a child, but I didn't think they'd be very interesting!
Staying with the "blue-eyed soul" theme, I'm posting this lovely song, from the 1970s, by a Glasgow band called Cado Belle, who were kind of submerged as punk took off - but they were so good. I only discovered them about 20 years later, and I bought their album. I love Maggie Bell's beautiful clear vocals so much that I went to see her live a few years ago. It was a sold-out gig, and her vocals were just as amazing as they were back in the 70s.

Hey @natubat I'm glad you enjoyed my choice .. but you're right the words Humble Pie probably don't instill as much confidence as they should, especially as they were such a tight band .. and like you say what a voice! Like yourself I was really saddened by his death, he was in the middle of putting a new album together and was on top form .. so much to live for :(
I really enjoyed your choice as well, she has such a beautiful voice .. I love the bands that just keep going for the love of the music and the fans that follow them to the ends of the earth, it's so refreshing in comparison to the transient nature of modern music. I will have to look into these guys some more, thank you for sharing!

I think the band broke up a long time ago, but Maggie has released several solo albums, some of them with a Celtic rock-type theme.

Hey @elizabethmurray I love this track! In fact, I was playing it in the car just a few days ago. I love its dreamlike quality and beautiful lyrics .. it's a true musical journey.

Happy new week. I missed this post the past couple of weeks due to solar panel problems.
Great Humble Pie track. I had a coffee in my hand as I listened. Marriott has a daughter trying to be a rock star now. Seen her in a couple of magazines
Put me in the mood to show you all a friend of mine: Lloyd Spiegel from Melbourne. After years of quietly plugging away without pushing himself, he is starting to become more well known and touring overseas.
He mainly plays acoustic blues. Writes his own songs and is a shredder as you can here in this solo. Booming voice. This is my fave song of his. Hopefully you will enjoy.

hey @izzynoel hope you're well .. you've been missed but haven't you come back with a brilliant track! Your friend is a very talented man, I love his gravelly voice .. such restraint and yet such power, a tough balancing act!! Man, he certainly knows his way around a guitar as well! Awesome stuff.
Glad you enjoyed my choice .. I feel that track/performance really captures the essence of Marriott. I wasn't aware of his daughter so thank you for the heads up .. I will be sure to look into her music. Thanks again my friend.

Hey my friend .. what a great choice of music! I love this track, it's very different to a lot of the music of the time in that it carries a darker edge .. the first sign that the wave of 60s euphoria was about to break and retreat back into itself.

Happy Monday! It is so interesting to see such diversity in the music selection in the comments. Guess everyone has their own unique taste when it comes to music. We have had the pleasure of releasing two more songs from our album this week. The first link, Welcome to Beaverbill, is a rock orchestra piece, and the second link, Heroes Rise, is a chamber orchestra style piece. Enjoy!

I picked up this tune whilst living in Thailand, and even sang it in bars to amuse the Thai girls, a bit of reggae, Thai style, now I feel certain you have not heard this before.
Enjoy my friend.

My pick of this week is something a bit different but quite relevant with all of the war mongering that’s going in around the world.
This is a great local Boston artist that speaks out against the hypocrisy of the world governments and their evil ways. Kind of like the rap version of rage against the machine.

Hey this is great @cmplxty .. underground style, I like it! .. great message and intelligently written, a brilliant combination. Do you ever listen to Immortal Technique? .. he's pretty awake as well. Hip-hop is such a powerful weapon of truth when it's used in the right way. Thank you for the music my friend.

I certainly have, I have a bunch of his songs on my iPod (showing my age a bit here, still use mine!) he is a more well known version of Lif. I like Lif’s beats much more though so I tend to listen to him instead.
Glad you liked it!

Hello @perceptualflwas. It's long time not to join with your Music Monday. Today I'd like to participate again, and here is my track.
More Than a Feeling by Boston.
I love this old band. And one song that most impressed me is More Than A Feeling. Actually, this is my brother's favorite song. I heard it in the years when he was still with me, until in 2008 he died. Every time I remember him I always play this song. Like today for example, and when it comes to this lyrics, "So many people have come and gone. Their faces fade as the years go by. Yet I still recall as I wander on. As clear as the sun in the summer sky," I just want to cry. Cheers.
