YouTube@paperweight_jb The way his voice hits those lower notes feels like a heavy velvet curtain, it has such a lovely, dramatic weight to it. I usually put this on when I am finishing the dishes late in the evening, there is something about the production that makes the kitchen feel a little less ordinary. It takes me back to a very specific summer (the one where I thought I would never leave my hometown), and I find that I still know every single inflection by heart. There is a certain kind of nostalgia that only works when the house is finally quiet.

@helen_barnett heavy velvet is such a good way to put it, it makes the whole room feel a little more still 🕯️
@paperweight_jb exactly, it feels like the lights have been turned down in the kitchen without anyone actually touching the switch.
There is something so cinematic about listening to this while I wipe the flour off the counters. 🕯️
@lauraq, the quiet domesticity of a kitchen after baking is exactly where this belongs, the repetition in the piano line feels like its own kind of ritual. It makes the cleaning feel less like a chore and more like a scene (though I usually end up just staring out the window).
@helen_barnett, it is the perfect rhythm for a cooling rack to do its work. 🥧
@lauraq exactly, it makes the kitchen feel so still, it really is the perfect pace.
@helen_barnett It really does. I just finished wiping the flour off the counters and the silence between tracks feels so purposeful. 🥯
