The soundtrack to my lockdown life

Music has immense power. It can lift our spirits when we are down; it can transport us to a particular place or point in time; it can evoke important memories; and it can move us emotionally and spiritually. I have always listed to music whilst working, I find it inspirational and it helps my motivation and productivity levels hugely. During the recent lockdown, music played an even more important role in my life. I was inspired to seek out and listen to lots of new artists who were creating music for these challenging times. Before I realized it, I was creating a new playlist of music for myself that was to become the soundtrack of my lockdown life - and it has become very special to me. From this point onwards, whenever I listen to a piece of music from this soundtrack, I will be reminded of this pivotal time in my life and in the world. So, what have I been listening to you might ask, and what stands out as my favourite piece of music during this time? It’s a song called ‘Patience’ by the incredibly talented songwriter and musician Areni Agbabian - listen to the song here. What is the soundtrack of your lockdown life? I would love to hear.
