I have to admit, alot of the songs that are being played on 24K are pretty good for chilling out. After a hard week at the office and looking out at things at home, 24K songs are a good remedy to relieve the stress that you get from the daily grind. Add a cool bear or glass of whisky and a cigar and I'm set for the weekend. I guess the fact that these songs take me back to the good old days literally lifts the weight off my shoulders. One such song that does that is "Build" by the band The House Martins.
Sure, they look like nerds and geeks, but for some reason I feel relaxed whenever I hear this song. I don't know if it's about building a dream house or a protest against all the rapid commercialism going on with the construction of one building after another. The meaning is lost to me because the tune relaxes me so much that all I want is to just sit back and enjoy it. Apart from chilling out in my room with a drink and smoke, I listening to this song in the late afternoon, either on a slow drive or just sitting in a garden and watching the sun as it turns orange and the breeze grows cooler.
Despite the occassional uproar, it also reminds me there's no place like home. Even when it gets a little crazy time to time, ,things aren't always so bad. I just wish one day we good really revive the good old times that we use to do back then. Lots of booze and smokes as well as sharing them with a close circle of friends. Now that would really be chilling out.
