WERB 107.5 music to chill and vibe with.
Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat.
Welcome dear friends and loyal listeners, thank you for joining me for another East to West songbook. I’ve got a real special program today, great music, great compilation. But before we start our East to West journey with all the melodies around the globe, I’d like to take a moment and just reflect on something that is deeply significant to me: gratitude. The Jewish religion calls for a gratitude blessing as soon as you open your eyes in the morning, being grateful for God that he was merciful, and gave you back your soul after your night’s sleep. And that’s how your day should start. Gratitude is more than just a polite thank you; it is a powerful, powerful mindset that allows you to find meaning, connection, and joy in your everyday lives. It is about technology, the beauty around you, the people you cherish, the experiences you encounter, and even the challenges that may help you grow.
Throughout history gratitude would also be expressed through music, poetry, and rituals. I feel that in many ways, music is the language of gratitude. It has that ability to capture what words alone sometimes cannot express. A simple melody or heartfelt lyrics can convey feelings of appreciation and love in a way that can resonate very deeply with anyone who listens.
That’s what is so special about East to West. You can listen to music from different cultures, from around the world, and you get the opportunity to experience the diversity of human expression and the gratitude that flows through it. I’m grateful for being here with you to take you on the journey from East to West. So for the next two hours and join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the psychedelic Pink Floyd, Elvis Presley, Earth Wind & Fire, and many more. I promise you 2 hours of chilled, cool, relaxed, and enjoyable music. Stay with me …
