In the Interest of Transparency: Aquatic Music (Themed Playlist)

The Water-Fall "With what deep murmurs through time’s silent stealth Doth thy transparent, cool, and wat’ry wealth Here flowing fall, And chide, and call, As if his liquid, loose retinue stay’d Ling’ring, and were of this steep place afraid; The common pass Where, clear as glass, All must descend Not to an end, But quicken’d by this deep and rocky grave, Rise to a longer course more bright and brave …" - Henry Vaughan As I completed the top tracks of the year posts (2010 - 2022) that I had been working on for well over a month, I thought it was time for another themed playlist. The genres represented on this list are varied, as are the moods, textures, and themes. The sequencing of the picks is very intentional, so I recommend listening in order. Thank you! 1.
