I know you're probably sick of hearing me go on about my ambient music obsession. So, you may be just as enthused as I am to have something new to gush about.
Dark ambient is perfect for Winter writing time, but Spring & Summer are made for something lighter and brighter.
One of my fave people in the world and an awesome writer to boot, David, shared a little video of his recent road trip. Not only was it cool to see him in action (since we have not met IRL yet – pesky ocean between Canada & the UK and all…), but the video was extra cool for me because I got to see him driving in his now infamous car, through the sunny streets of Wells, with the perfect driving-through-the-sunny-streets-of-Wells song playing.
The song in question is A Million Miles Away by Ulrich Schnauss but I am equally in love with the title track Far Away Trains Passing By, Suddenly The Trees Are Giving Way and Wherever You Are.

Mary’s eerie tales inspire in readers the urge to double-check the deepest, darkest closets, to peer anxiously under the creakiest of beds, and to always sleep with the lights on.
This is an awesome album. I have his other one In A Sadly Isolated Place (or something like that) but this one is much better. A nice chill kinda feel to it.
