Sunday Slow Down: The Album That Asks You to Slow Down

Some records entertain us while we go about our day. Others ask us to stop, sit down and give them our full attention. In this Sunday Slow Down episode of Dave’s Side One, Dave reflects on Dan Fogelberg’s Nether Lands and how an unhurried album can change not only the atmosphere of a room, but the pace of the listener. It is a reminder that there is a difference between having music on and truly listening. Tonight’s Side One Spin: Choose one complete album. Put away your phone, turn off the other screens and listen from the opening note to the final groove without skipping or multitasking. For forty minutes, let listening be enough.
