Someone said "It's about pursuing peace." This is definitely one of those instances where THE JOURNEY deserves the focus rather than the end-goal. More coming on the BLOG page soon! NOTE: This is NOT a project spawned from "Spotify Time Capsule". The intention didn't start out to make a Spotify Playlist; it started out to build a "Music Box Time Capsule" of essential songs selected from all generations, and opened so many years into the future. There's similarly named playlists and projects out there, but MusicBoxTime Playlist on Spotify matches this website www.MusicBoxTime.com. While it didn't start out to have a playlist element in real-time, it's SO great RIGHT NOW to be able to share and listen to all the songs sent in! WOW! Thanks Spotify AND all sending in your tunes!
INTERESTING DISCOVERY ABOUT SPOTIFY SHUFFLE FEATURE:
Spotify Shuffle (basic or smart) picks songs or artists IT thinks you prefer, and may add random songs not in the original playlist, shuffles them in and repeats them. To remedy that, this MusicBoxTime Playlist has been mixed up a bit more intentionally, to get a variety if played in the posted order starting on the Spotify Music Box Project Link. This allows you to control a stop-start or skip when you want, or to hear the whole thing WITHOUT the APP changing, repeating or choosing for you. The songs are linked on this site each individually to Spotify, but they don't lead you back to here, or the original Music Box Project playlist. Please let our team know of any problematic issues you find.
BACK TO ESSENTIAL or QUINTESSENTIAL. A friend said we may as well call it "quintessential" for the dimensional qualities of songs that inevitably will come on the list. Perhaps there's one element of a song that's essential, or one that affects the mind or soul, proposes a deeper perspective into another soul, inspires intellect, historical insight, emotions of hope or peace; one that transcends a mood, reasons with our humanity and compassion to love more, or to LISTEN and take action to do something good for somebody else's heart. OR, as it is with a great deal of music, moves you toward a feeling encompassing those elements, but too profound and complex to put into words. Or perhaps just plain beautiful or a lively tune you can't help but start moving to. We're fortunate to coexist with so much phenomenal music. You can easily find the songs referenced on Spotify or other public platforms. If looking for lyrics, random people post lyrics only guessing what they are, and some are really OFF, so be sure to go to the real source. Feel free to add a few words what your songs have meant to you. Comments will be placed on site pages or in BLOG. NO names will be published.
