East to West World Music Songbook
with Eitan Battat (S4 | E183)
Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West.
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 to another program of East to West and it’s just an honor for me to be your captain on another journey from East to West.
As we transition into the fall season, there is some kind of a sense of quiet renewal in the air. The leaves turn vibrant shades of red and gold, kind of taking their time to fall down to the ground; and by doing so, mark the end of the summer warmth. Another season is passing by. Yeah, we feel the cool breeze coming through fueling that transition. This always feels to me that it’s time to slow down. After all, I’ve been trying to do that for so, so many months – ohh maybe a couple of years now – and it’s time to kind of reflect back to that Jewish holiday on new beginnings.
The autumn, as it always does, invites you to shed what no longer serves you; nature does it with ease, effortlessly and at once you see the trees are just standing there. Maybe, just maybe, the changing of the season into the fall is inviting us for more quieter, introspective days ahead. Maybe, just maybe, this is the season of transformation, for new beginnings. You will judge; you will be the author; you will be the director of the next chapter.
Just as I put together another compilation, another songbook of cool, chilled, relaxed, unrushed music. Trying to give you the just the right vibe to transition you from the first half of the week to the second half of the week. So for the next two hours and join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the superb Sting, Eric Clapton, John Legend, Salma Hayek, and many more.
So, stay with me for the next couple of hours, I assure you a one of its kind journey.
