Kaina - Arise[^]
I'm still sharing daily metal albums with friends, but this week's SOTW is far from metal.
Last week, some guy who did drone photography and film, gave a presentation and he showed a video that he made.
Beautiful images he made in Norway, but I was more interested in the music.
This was it.
There are a couple of KAINA's around, but this one is based in Minneapolis and this song is from her 2018 debut, Arise.
Her other music is more standard singer-songwriter material, but also very good.
Reminds me a bit of Florence + The Machine, which is a huge compliment.
So sound of the week

Nice 
I can totally see this song in conjunction with a panoramic video of Norway.

I'm definitely in a mellow mood tonight. That is spectacular, absolutely spectacular. I think it'll go on repeat a few times.
To totally ruin the mood of these songs though. Remember how I said your SOTW throws up very random songs? Well tonight it gave me Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (Camp Granada Song) [^]. Don't listen to it tonight.

I'm so much expecting trance from you that I was surprised this turned out to be techno even though it's right there in the title 
Love me some good techno though

Apology, not part of the clue.. Been a crazy busy day, so the clue's a bit unpolished.

But ... if one synchronised swimmer drowns, do the others have to as well?
Please?

I don't care either - like a lot of things it seems to have lost its purpose. I like tennis but why on earth is that considered an Olympic event ? They'll have darts and snooker next.

I'll never get why anyone enjoys watching others doing sports at all, but only specific sports because we all like those, like we watch football, but not cricket, and only because "our" team plays because we don't like it enough to watch "other" teams even though it's the same activity.
And people also only watch during certain events, like the European or World Championships, or Olympics in this case, but any other time in that four period it's somehow not fun watching while it's still the same activity.
Oh yeah, and people only watch men because even a bad men's match is better than a good woman's match, except for some sports, like ice skating and swimming, because women are good at those (I guess?), or beach volleyball, which we don't really watch for the game anyway.
I'm having an even harder time getting why people would think "they" won when some individual, or group of individuals, somewhere on a field won from other individuals (I guess this feeling that I'm completely missing explains why people only watch "their" team and only during some events).
And the most bizarre of all is that people will actually riot and fight about this.
To me, there's absolutely no logic or rationale to be found, it's like mass hysteria.

You like your music, its the same thing, different activity.
Besides, if my team loses it's because I didn't support them hard enough. If they win, I did my job and therefore am entitled to take full credit for the win.  And it makes me (no, not delusional) a hero* because I'm not getting paid for it.
* I don't use the term lightly.

It's completely different.
Music effects the brain, not the same for anyone, but I love the music because of the music and not because of the people who make it (some do, I know) and I love it always.
I don't only like it when there's a Eurovision song festival and I don't only like it when "my" band plays.
Eurovision has little to do with music (although sometimes it's nice) and brings out that "football mentality" in people.
If you love football, I get it.
What I don't get is that you only love it when a specific team does it or only when they do it during a specific tournament.
And that you'd take wins or losses personally while you had no effect on the outcome.

I can't even tell if you're joking
