The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Are You Listening?” by Billy Brandt and Sarana Verlin!!!

I have a feature to recognize a slice of good music: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day! 

Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/

I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my weekly “Theme Attic” show, Wednesdays, from 1PM-4PM ET!

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

If you’d like to know what I think are even better than the awesome songs, have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”:https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.

Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.

Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

Local music is great! Let’s stay here!

Singer/Songwriter, multiple Philby Award Winner, and Theme Attic Hall of Fame member, Billy Brandt, along with Singer/Songwriter, and multiple Philby Award Winner, Sarana Verlin‘s (Billy Brandt and Sarana Verlin), most recent release, “Are You Listening?” is full of wonderful duets!

Billy has been a consistent creative musician in the Detroit area for many years, both as a solo artist, and as a member of several groups.

Sarana currently resides in England, but she started out in the Detroit area, too!

The relationship between Billy and Sarana plus their current overseas connections has influenced their music!

Billy brings the Americana while Sarana supplies the Celtic, but, of course, there are plenty of common places that the two overlap from their own histories.

Earlier in the year, when I saw the two perform at 20 Front Street in Lake Orion, Michigan, if I remember correctly, Sarana introduced the title track of the album as being about how whales can communicate between themselves.

Not only that, whales have been around longer than humans and know plenty more about areas that we are just beginning to learn about.

Their language is transported to each other over long distances.

She feels that whales can teach us many things, as well as other creatures and spirits if we are aware and willing to listen to them!

The album cover perfectly captures that mystical concept!
