Welcome, 2020!

Here we are in a brand new decade – *so fresh and full or promise.* I'd say we're off to a wonderful start! *I trust you'll enjoy these entries as much as I did!* ___ ![SGLive-banner4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd9RS5m6Nv9n9bc8RcuAd7XpBkCBDXyXVCvprB96ed86t/SGLive-banner4.jpg) ___

First

@orlandogonzalez • ['Hay Sueños Que Duermen En El Tiempo' (Original)] ['Hay Sueños Que Duermen En El Tiempo' (Original)]: https://www.sonicgroove.net/@orlandogonzalez/sonic-groove-live-week-18-hay-suenos-que-duermen-en-el-tiempo-original-song-cancion-original-by-orlandogonzalez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS7PrD6p3Kk Absolutely gorgeous – from the wonderfully unexpected surprise of you playing flute to Esther's sweet harmonies, *I loved every moment*. I know the nearly indescribable emotion of which you sing; some call it *saudade.* Hard to find words for, yet such a deeply human experience. ___

Second

@minuetoacademy • ['Juan 16, 33' (Original)] ['Juan 16, 33' (Original)]: https://www.sonicgroove.net/@minuetoacademy/sonic-groove-live-week-18-or-juan-16-33-original-song-by-minuetoacademy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFKv7ws8p8E Such an beautifully evocative piece, evoking so much visceral imagery; slow-motion running through a forest, dappled sunlight on smiling face, framed by strands of hair in the wind – the perfect soundtrack for a victorious moment – the final scene in a *heroine's journey.* ___

Third

@edwardstobia • ['Propósito // Purpose' (Original)] ['Propósito // Purpose' (Original)]: https://www.sonicgroove.net/@edwardstobia/sonic-groove-live-week-18-original-song-proposito-purpose-by-edwardstobia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKj-i8n7do Such a melancholy song, full of sincere longing – the aching croon of unrequited love. I hope whomever you wrote this for knows the depth of your heart. <3 ___

Fourth

I so appreciate your elegant, percussive style. :) ^{The cameo of woman and dog behind you halfway through the video made me laugh – nice reminder that life keeps moving around us, even during our quietest, most introspective moments. ^{___

I quite enjoyed this rendition, especially your playful combo shaker/strum percussion and bluesy vocals. Good stuff!
