[@polchiee]

Okay i hope no one will think i am crazy. I heard that enough times from my narcissistic ex who left me with two small children - at the time i was actually 20 weeks pregnant. It's all new to me . Be alone . Recognising abuse. Finally seeing how many red flags i ignored. I had set up a playlist and then it switched to that playlist... And the first song just made me cry so much... I have to let him go , i have to let go the past to move forward... I have to let myself go , accept what's to come even if I don't know . But it's the kind of music i was listening to before i met him 6 years ago and i stopped and listened to it i finally felt like myself for the first time in 6 months. Thank you

[@janeyhopson3900]

At the moment but it really is one day at a time,sending you a hug when times are hard and dark we still need to talk ❤ All the best for you and your children ❤️

[@JazzCoffeeShopOfficial]

Who else has that feeling where you're surrounded by a group of people but still feel lonely

[@turnerlucy]

Nope

[@simonbarry6582]

One thing I like about alexrainbird compilations is how often I feel the opposite. I am on my own but feel the presence of other people and energy :)

[@nireeburr]

Yeh 💯 I’m so alone and loneliness continues suffocating me.. this music helps to let the tears come out from my lonely soul.. I wish I knew how to meet people again.. never had this issue b4.. lost in that crowd of emptiness, but I hear people.. they don’t even smile or say hello.. we used to be so much more caring.. where did all the beautiful people go… Just to have a friend who cared if I live or die.. would be everything right now..

[@guitardaylesson8485]

Alone With Everybody. It's a feeling of exhaustion from interacting with the world sometimes. Also known as - the blues. In my humble opinion best music is written about that feeling.. The cure(also the band) is rock n roll, fresh air, philosophy journaling/songwritting. Anything that let's the feeling out of your system can help. Have a good one!

[@lloydbradly307]

Fix urself

[@acaciaiii]

I don't feel okay but life is pulling me to keep moving. I am so exhausted but I have to wait for the day to end and restart tomorrow. To all working adults, be strong.

[@CapturedByKen]

Everytime Im the one that has to open up the building where I work , I put on one of your playlists ... I work at a Nature Educational Center and it's surrounded by the woods s d water, perfect way to start the day 🙂

[@alexrainbirdMusic]

Awww that’s so awesome! Thanks so much Ken 🏕❤️

[@chillindie247]

I cant get enough of the positive energy radiating from this playlist. Its feel-good vibes are exactly what I need to brighten my day.

[@cloudsandthorns]

Thank you Alex and Beth for adding "This" to your best of 2022! I am always truly honored to be among all these AMAZING indie artists! You also have incredible listeners who have reached out to me with kind words so many times over the years! I'm happy and humbled to be in this awesome community! You're all the best!

[@theophaneantipater6333]

When I was young in the seventies in France we use to go in camp holidays with others young childrens We use to listen pop and folk songs from french and anglo-saxons singers Those songs reminds me this beautiful period !

[@thombanjo3]

cant wait to listen...these are simply the best playlists...they have served as comfort in hard times ...they take me away to places of story and memory surrounded by heartwarming MELODY....

[@Kyledillon]

Same. I just discovered this artist yesterday. It hits home. I lost everyone I've ever loved. I have no one but my own amd music has helped me get by. And theses songs are just precious. Still haven't finished the video.

[@danielszocs7537]

I used to hate that I got prescribed xanax, but today I was in my car. I was a little slowed down by xanax and watched the beautiful snowy scenery and how the sunset happened while listening to this Indie playlist. It was a really amazing and deep feeling.

[@NaTashaBailey111]

I am blessed!!! So are you!! Thank God however you have come to know him!!❤❤❤

[@nireeburr]

WOW 🤩 This music is magical. Thank u to all who are in this playlist…

[@scottmonette4002]

[@RandyM403]

I thought December was the best of 2022 it was so good! That being said the opening song is the best opening song of the year! Keep em coming in 2023!

[@CozyCoffeeShopMusicOfficial]

When you are down and lose interest in everything, take a deep breath and remember that all life is precious, and so are you💗

[@lloydbradly307]

How do you sign up to have your music considered for anything because I have over a hundred pages of poems that might just stay as something to read family members over being put into music if they stay at the level they are.
