During this quarantine i've found myself alone with my cat, without being able to return home, somehow this music brings me peace and comfort

[@ratikanto]

same with me

[@emiliaburgos5404]

wish you the best :) and hope these hard times get better soon.

[@loljoker127]

All the best of luck, I find it really relaxing to spend time with myself listening to this type of music as it helps with my mental health. I usually do tai chi, yoga, water painting, meditation - breathing techniques with my eyes closed or just as some examples. There's a bunch of things you can do online called 'artist's dates' if you ever find yourself lonely. Remember despite how alone you feel, we are never truly alone in our own company (bonus points for the cat).

[@Rishi123456789]

[@SpicyInvalid]

@travishibachi @gogee27 @pitagrozsaraiva Sounds like Christianity and Judaism... just replace the word "God" with the word "Universe" and worship the creation rather than the Creator. Now you may have all the artificial comforts of living a "Spiritual Life" minus the uncomfortable, but necessary truths and conviction and the Grace of the only living God of the Universe. This would actually give you the sense of substance and comfort that you are hurting for this whole time.... but what do I know. No one does and that is the point! Only God knows, not the universe for the universe is only a creation the same way you are... Word to the wise, Repent and Trust God instead! Romans 1:18-32

[@we-must-live]

@@SpicyInvalid what do you know, people copying and pasting bible quotes are in the comments of takashi kukubo's albums. i don't really know how to feel about that. part of me wants to leap through the screen and maim gratuitously, another part of me is greatly grateful that seemingly everyone can enjoy kukubo's melodies, and yet even another part of me wants to kiss you for understanding that we are all just unknowing humans looking for lights in the dark. you've given me novel perspectives, and for that, i thank you!

I’m having a really hard time .. consuming toxicity all around me daily .. feeling trapped and hopeless while my creativity and imagination plummeted creating an even more suffocating environment without a mind willing to transcend the physical. My situation gives me bouts of tears, depression and fear. This is one of the little things that is helping in saving me from myself and everything around me. I listened to it when I first woke up whilst brushing my teeth and it feels like there’s a secret world out there and that the despair in my head is only temporary

While listening to Kokubo, an endless amount of typing is possible. This music is so inspiring!

[@PraetorClaudius]

It is meaningful to me that I am discovering Kokubo as the dreadful winter is giving way to the early stages of spring, this music provides a serendipitous soundtrack to the end of a season I wasn’t sure I’d make it through. Here we are, and nature’s cycles are contrasted to provide rich beauty when it’s needed most.

That feeling.... When I woke up devastated..... Then, its raining outside..... But, I am feeling very grateful because I can spend whole day under blanket.... That feeling When You are completely alone, But feeling exceptional connection Within Yourself. That feeling When You are putting Your fingers in Plant soil first time after Many years.... Little bumps of soil under Your nails..... That feeling of Autumn wet humidity When You passing by some Chinese restaurant in some lonely NYC street and locals smoking outside... That feeling ....When there is first summer shower and humidity is out of control after..... That feeling ... When You are touching some green Cold jelly with warm fingers......
