Three Tune Tuesday #55 | Slowing down the pace with Alt-J
Greetings fellow musical Hivers π€
Hey hey hey fellow hivers π. It's been a while since the last time I posted and what a better day to return than Tuesday? π€ That's right, it's #ttt time and I didn't want to miss another week of sharing, writing and interacting with you, dear reader π€. I truly missed coming here and just letting words flow. However, my absence these last few weeks were for very good reasons, I would say π. As I shared with a few friends, I will now share with you.
I have a new part-time job at a private hospital. Career wise, this is a huge opportunity for me as I have the opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary team (cooperating with other health professionals) πππ. On top of that I'm working exclusively in Pediatrics which is a special passion of mine alongside Women's Health πππ. It was actually my first passion, and the main reason I graduated in physiotherapy was because I wanted to help children, while life eventually led me to Women's Health.
However, I already have a full-time job working independently as a liberal professional with my usual patients. So, this means that at least 3x/week I'm doing physio sessions or pilates classes from 9am to 8pm π . Paperwork, finances, writing clinical records, organising my schedule, follow-up messages and studying to stay up to date is all left for my free time which just got a lot shorter π .
So, there are some consequences to think about and the truth is that something has to give in a secondary plan, so I'm probably going to be less active on Hive and posting less. Since maintaining the quality of my posts is still a primary goal here, I prefer to be here less but at least in a meaningful way.
See my attempt to maintain my essence, dear reader? Already diverged from #ttt to my personal life for a while π. (note to self - we aim to please so get to the point already! π)
Three Tune Tuesday πΈ
For those of you who don't know, Three Tune Tuesday was created by @ablaze and as he explains π
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning a prize.
With that being said, the songs I'm about to share today are from a band I already saw live in Portugal back in 2018 (I think). Alt-J is a band with 4 amazing guys who harmonise perfectly in my opinion. They are coming back to a famous festival called NOS Alive and I wouldn't mind at all seeing them again if I had tickets.
Today I felt the need to listen to something that made me slow down from these intense life rhythm and Alt-J was the first one that pooped up in my head π. I would say their sound is a bit different than the Alternative Rock I usually hear so it's kinda an Extra Alternative Rock. The point is, I just love their melodies and tunes. For me, they have a very relaxing effect. On the other hand, their lyrics can be really confusing and it's kinda hard to understand what could be crossing their minds when they were writing the songs ππ. I confess I still don't understand some of it π but then again, I really love the whole music, for me the instrumentals and voices are put together so so well, therefore I listen to them regardless.
I shall let you take your own conclusions! So, let's go to the tunes, dear reader? π With lyrics on screen for the full experience.
My 3 song recommendation π
1 - Tessellate - Alt-J
2 - Breezeblocks - Alt-J
3 - Taro - Alt-J
Final considerations π
That's it from me today dear reader π. Please feel free to drop a comment with your thoughts about the lyrics and what do you think they meant to transmit with each particular song π. If you liked the melodies or maybe it's not really your style? I would really love to read them!
Take care! π

I love alt J. They did Taro in their tiny desk and it was amazing. Congrats on the new role. I'd love to work with kids myself.
So so good πππ Was it you that shared Alt-J on #ttt before? I was under the impression someone already shared some songs from them but I couldn't remember who and it's not on the playlist so it must have been before I started that π
Thank you for stoping by ^^
Yeah I must check that out actually. Yeah it was me that did the ttt on Tiny Desk and them actually. They are awesome. Glad someone did them again.
It's good to know that in your life everything is going well and that you are leaving Hive for reasons beyond your control, also thanks for stopping by here leaving us these good topics and your thoughts, I really like the vibe of the second topic (Breezeblocks).

Ah quality!! I only ever really knew the Breezeblocks song before @blanchy introduced me to more of their tunes with that tiny desk concert. Tessellate was a new song for me, they a very tight band and I must take the time to listen to more of their stuff.
Hehehe glad you liked it! And yeah I didn't remember at the time that it was blanchy who first shared that tiny desk concert π I really like a lot of their songs so it's a band I come back from time to time heheh
