148 mixes with tracks by “viola”

I've been obsessed with string pieces & covers lately. They give me so many feelings.

Seriously,

You want a fool proof way into my heart?

Play a string instrument

Or obsess about how ear-gasmic string instruments are.

P.S. I have added some more tracks. Enjoy!

Ten tracks including music by El Perro del Mar, Robyn, Arthur Russell.

Music for while youre covered in charcoal...

Violins, Violas, and Cellos oh my!

A mix filled with covers of popular songs on things such as violas, violins, cellos, harps and the upright bass. Unwind from the norm, listen to some strings.

Eighty tracks including music by The Cardigans, The Twilight Singers, and PJ Harvey.

Seventeen tracks including music by Baiano & os Novos Caetanos, Caetano Veloso, and Caetano Veloso e Chico Buarque.

Bach was a huge fan of coffee, so why not brew some up right now? May coffee and the genius of Bach aid you with your studies!

“Mmm! How sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious than a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have,
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah, then pour me out some coffee!”
- Coffee Cantata (BWV 211)

uma playlist pra desexuzar a tristeza e lembrar que mesmo músicas tristes são lindas :)

e como diria o sábio paulinho:
"Canto
Pra dizer que no meu coração
Já não mais se agitam as ondas de uma paixão
Ele não é mais abrigo de amores perdidos
É um lago mais tranqüilo
Onde a dor não tem razão"

In which things are wholly ridiculous and a bit musically scatterbrained.
