PORTALS: SONGS 2012

Dec 10, 2012 by     4 Comments    Posted under: Features, Monthly Mixtape Series, Sounds, Tracks

It’s easy to define ourselves by the relationships we have. They inform us about ourselves on so many levels. We are loyal or fickle, passionate or casual, patient or jealous, kind or moody, committed or careless. The list goes on. Relating to other humans is our way of looking into a mirror and seeing who we really are. This is often how a lot of us connect with music. We form a relationship with it, and that relationship is based on the emotions that the music makes us feel. While we may already have the emotions inside, music evokes them in a unique way. We form relationships with albums as they soundtrack your experiences, but single songs become something more entirely. They speak directly to us and become a friend, a enemy, a lover, a mistress, a companion, a god. They become exactly what we need them to be.

These songs have been hand picked by each contributor because they were the songs, that in 2012, made their way into our lives and became what we needed.

You can stream our Songs 2012 mixtape at the PORTALS Bandcamp page.
