Music

June 8, 2026

They say that sharing music is an act of love, so here's my very generous act of love towards you! Every album on this list holds a special place in my story, and since I'm not a musical critic but an emotional listener, my presentation of the music is personal and full of private flashbacks.

I am deeply grateful that the music of those artists found its way to me.

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

This whole album, from start to finish, is a real treat to my soul. I lived it, experienced it in real life and it feels deeply personal to me, as a listener. It's the way I loved, it's the way I wasn't loved and it's the way I am: "Which Witch", "Various Storms and Saints", "Ship to Wreck", "St Jude", "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful", "Delilah", "Mother", "Make up Your Mind"... They are all included in the soundtrack of my late 2023 and 2024. Needless to say, I also cut bangs. ;) And I survived.

Weather Systems

My favourite Anathema album! So many years after the release, it's still my go-to music when I need to come back to myself and feel at home. "Weather Systems" has a much deeper meaning to me, I do not see it as a compilation of songs, I see it as one story, told with the help of music. I can almost never listen to single songs from the albums - it is meant to be listened beginning to end, at one time.

if i wasn't made for love

OK, not an album, but my favourite néomí songs don't belong to one and I just cannot not give them the place they deserve: "if i wasn't made for love", "eyes filled with sky" and "i'll be there" just melt my soul. I love those songs!
"skipping stone" and "Do You Want To Be Honest" are also often to be heard on my playlists.
In 2024 néomí released "somebody's daughter" and my most beloved song on the album is "i'm not afraid of dying".

Monochrome

It is raining outside, and I listen to "The Exorcist" and the heavy drops of rain on the huge green leaves of the fouliage in the small inside garden, squeezed between the buildings. The buildings are still there, the people I called friends are still there, the green leaves must be as green and as big as they used to be, back when I used to live there. Only I and a very particular dream of mine are nowhere to be found.
I am so thankful Daniel Cavanagh made "Monochrome" and I could only hope that some dreams do become true after all. "The Silent Flight Of The Raven Winged Hours"

The Heart of A Man

I first listened to "Darkest Night" and could not stop listening to it for hours. "The Heart of A Man" is an hour and eight minutes of pure magic by Tony Anderson. I adore his work! Sometimes, if you're lucky enough, life feels exactly as beautiful, as dramatic and as etheral like a Tony Anderson composition. "Nocturne in Paris", "Butterflies", "Éclosion", "Younger", "Cambodia" and many more are my safe emotional places when I need to take a pause from all of this nonsence, surrounding us.

Ceremonials

It would be absolutely impossible for me to choose a favourite song on Ceremonials, because I love them all (I checked them one by one - yes, all!), and they have been such a constant companion to my most emotionally heavy days. Florence + the Machine's music is a gift to all of us who are doomed to feel deeply, in abstract visions and who think in poems and lyrics, because that's the only way that feels authentic to our souls.
