Nash Music Library -- 7000 Miles Away

Now, what would be 7000 miles away from Toronto, Canada? Well, Casablanca and Lisbon are two such cities, but I've also read that Perth in Western Australia is also that distant. I had a student and friend who put up stakes there several years ago and she's been enjoying her time there like gangbusters. It's always wonderful when someone comes to a new place and declares "Yep, this is home for me!".

Let's start off a little gently for the weekly edition of Urban Contemporary Fridays on KKP. Once again, we have the good folks of Nash Music Library helping out and for today, we have their "7000 Miles Away". A breathy-voiced female vocalist comes on board this time to sing what sounds like the typical "absence makes the heart grow fonder" message. There's nothing like being 7000 miles away to push the melancholy knife deeper.

Still, this entry from the 2017 "Smooth & Groove" album is indeed smooth and groovy...and very relaxing. So the commiseration is heartfelt and comfy, preferably with a mug of cocoa. There's a hint of Xmas at the end, but I'd say that this is good for a cooling October as well.

  1. This is would be great music for a cafe or even for clothing store.

    1. Yeah, I think that's what NML is all about...providing some higher-level Muzak.
