I'm signed up to participate in a February blogging event called "The Soundtrack of Your LifeOpen in new Window. where the goal is to share different music videos throughout the month. There is a special merit badge awarded for those who manage to complete 29 entries this month. This activity actually plays right into my wheelhouse. I basically have a favorites Youtube music list that I have been slowly developing over the years which I am really happy to share.


Anyway, lets start with one of the more recent ones added to my list:
Astronaut in the Ocean by Masked Wolf



I first heard this song watching an Instagram reel where a magician was revealing how different magic tricks were done.

It was a great soundtrack choice as it captured the feelings I had when watching each magic trick and seeing how it was performed; that sense of having your mind blown with the initial trick followed by realization when the slight of hand was shown again via "slow motion" replay. It really matched with the lyrics of the song perfectly. What wound up happening though was that the magician went through the tricks so quickly that I needed to rewatch the reel several times to see how each trick was done. One sidenote on the magician's video itself is that even knowing how each trick was performed I was still very impressed with the tricks themselves. They all required skill to pull off.

In any case as you can imagine as a result of repeated rewatching, the chorus got this stuck in my head. I really like it. It has a fast beat and an energetic feel to it. The titular lyric also paint a great visual picture. I imagine Astronauts underwater with time slowing down. The song style is awesome as well giving a trance feel mixed in with a bit of rap. The electronic synthesizing gives it modern touch and it seems like it is a great song to play at a club.

This was written in response to the prompt - "Andre says he wants some really interesting blogs that are short. He has limited time this month to read especially since someone threw in an extra day this February for the Bar to be open.

Question from you bloggers: What is meant by short?

Answer from Andre (edited): Your blog entries need to be about something short or being short in number of words or written in a short amount of time or using shorthand or shortcut or any other way of using short (e.g. an arcostic poem).
