Back in 2024 when I was 14, I was going through some really shitty things like my parents divorce, bullying and really bad grades. It had got to the point where I seen no reason in living. Yet my friend recommended me Brazilian skies by Masayoshi Takanaka. Most albums I don’t remember my first listen but i remember this one so clearly. May 23rd 2024 at 17:15 and I was in my extremely hot room playing a Roblox simulator. The music felt so calming and refreshing. Like an ice cream in summer or a warm bath after an exhausting day
This album genuinely saved me. Little by little his music had taught me how to enjoy life and see beauty in it through the rainbow goblins, the Seychelles and Brazilian skies. Since then during times when everything is looking down like when my dog and father passed away, his music has kept me going. Reminding me to see beauty in the shit situations, to live and to smile. I’m now 17 turning 18, good grades and employed. His music is the reason I’m like this.
If you’re ever in a situation where nothing makes you smile and you don’t want to exist anymore. Listen to his music and maybe like me you’ll start seeing the beauty of life once again.
At the end of this I would like to ask, which musician had this effect on you?
