Wow! Just over a year since I made Sunday Snooze IV. Time flys. Well I’ve been spending the year listening to as much music as possible. These are some of the songs that I have been pouring over and loving to bits. As usual its a very eclectic mix, but I absolutely adore every last track. I hope I have done them justice in this mix.
I have to say that with the advent of the Internet, finding new music has become a lot easier. Most of the tracks on this mix I’ve stumbled onto thanks to various sites and applications. Thanks to Bedtime Tunes, Last FM, Friday Music Time and many many more. Also thanks to the artists for producing such beautiful thought provoking pieces. I test drove it yesterday snoozing on the couch and it passed with flying colours.
Dedicated to Sinéad. We all miss you.

Came across this fantastic link of a live performance of the epic Cinematic Orchestra song “Build a home”. What a talent. To be able to captivate a room, and even to captive me, in a little 450 by 300 pixel Youtube video window. I’ve always been a fan of these guys but this album has a really mature sound to it.

The latest in the Sunday Snooze series. This one is quit an acoustic trip. Lots of nice vocal tracks, some happy, some very, very sad. But all in all a nice journey. The person speaking in the beginning is non other that Damien Rice, a great Irish artist who has feature on most of the mixes in this series, talking about how he gets inspired. Words to live by. Enjoy.

The third in the Sunday Snooze series. Going back to the original format compared to the weird and wonderful ambient Sunday Snooze II. This version is an exploration in great vocal acoustic songs. Lots of happy moments, simple lyrics with a strong message. Good to have in the background on a long Sunday drive in the country.
