I express myself through these song selections today. I love Groove Soca and songs that convey feelings that reach into my soul. Today, I have compiled a list of my top 10 recent music releases for Carnival 2025, a list that truly reflects my personal style. I expect to get some serious blows for these song selections as fans express their disappointment over the lack of variety in the lineup. Many are calling for a return to the roots of Soca music, hoping to see more traditional sounds and influences in future releases. Then there will be those who criticize the lack of any fast-paced Soca. I am currently experiencing a "moment!" and I am a fan of Groove Soca music.
However, it's not the popular songs that make "Santiwah" feel content when he listens to them. Music is all about mood and feel, and this is my mood today (Sunday, December 22, 2024). Of course I cheated; I have eleven songs on my list!
Kahil Gibran once said, "Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life, bringing peace and abolishing strife." My selections calm my soul and make me feel good.
You may or may not connect with the ten songs, but that's perfectly acceptable. Most of the songs are just 'good feelings,' but the last two provide a change of mood that you will absolutely love. I will end with this: "C'est La Vie!"
