Song of the Day #119 Wim Mertens - Struggle for Pleasure
Funny, when I recently listened to this song for the first time, I had this sudden feeling that I have heard it already. Maybe I have and didn’t even notice. This is definitely the most famous piece by Wim Mertens which probably paved the way for other artists today such as Yann Tiersen. I love the piano section which is very difficult to play. It’s really a grand piece that only grows exponentially every 32 beats and builds itself into a huge monument. What’s really crazy is how it continuously builds and ends in complete silence leaving you with the energy of the song in your mind.
This piece reminds me alot of Philip Glass, which is definitely one of his influences. Wim Merten has created over 50 albums since 1980. Much of his work has been out of the mainstream music world.

Song of the day #59: Balmorhea- Truth (Great song to wake up to)
I discovered the band, Balmorhea, through one of my followers, nostalgiya. This style of minimalist, experimental music influenced by classical music is not the type of music I listen to all the time. In fact, I find it to be music that good for a specific mood to guide you through an everyday task like reading a book, meditating, or waking up and getting ready for work. There are no lyrics here, and there are no need for lyrics. The music speaks for itself.
I think this song is a wonderful song to wake up to. But of course, everyone is different. The song starts off very low and gradually comes in with this motivational minimal melody. Once the bass drum comes in like a heartbeat and you get out of bed, splash some water in your face, you go through your routine before you head out to school or work.
