Easter Rising

This week’s playlist traces the arc from heavy old stones to the moment they finally shift, letting something new breathe through.

There are songs that lift you heaven ward, that stay with you through the long night, and songs that remind you that resurrection doesn’t have to be a miracle, sometimes it’s a choice, a turning toward hope.

Easter isn’t just a nice story – it’s a reminder of what can happen, again and again. Today’s soundtrack is a celebration of the fact that every ending carries the seed of a beginning.
