syndae - episode 547
from syndae Podcast · host Stefan
Thinking about tonight's edition, I thought about the term chill out and where it comes from. I could think of some situation, where you are getting hot because of anger or being uptight about something. Then you need to chill out, i.e. cool down. But I could not find any evidence to that origin. The general meaning though is to calm down and relax. And it's quite a young phrase, some claim it's from the 1970s, others put it to the 1980s. Well, if you know more about the origin of "chill out", let me know in the comments on social media or send me a message or mail. What I found interesting though and did not know before, to chill out also means to spend time with your friends. And that's perfectly fitting for syndae, spending time with all of you to listen to fantastic music by @eleon-music feat. @jeffpearcemusic (Chillscapes Vol. 1), @waldlauf (Daolai), @erbemusic (Breathe), Wellenfeld (The Journey of Voyager 1), @ivan-black (The Skirmish), @d-echo-project (Flavour), @rowan_jane (Quarantine in Warm), @moonbooter (Beyond the Neon Lights), @rombreaker (Summer Pain), @c_r_y_s_t (The Matter of Life), In Vitro (Modulandi).
