East to West World Music Songbook
with Eitan Battat (S4 | E191)
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 my friends and loyal listeners to another East to West Songbook. I’ve crafted a spectacular lineup for you tonight. I usually talk about kindness at the closing of the East West program. However, I got to thinking about the parallels between music and kindness, and they both are kind of universal languages.
Kindness speaks to everyone regardless of language, culture, and background. And a melody or simple kind of gesture can communicate love, empathy and understanding without too many words. Both music and kindness have a ripple effect. A song can inspire many, many listeners and leave a lasting impression. And it’s also can have an emotional impact, just like kindness can. Both of them can touch the heart in a very unique way. Think about it; a beautiful song remains timeless, just as a kind deed is never forgotten. Both leave a significant mark that shapes the way people feel and remember their experiences. And I’ll tell you this; you know it, music has always been in the center and the heart of social movements. Yes, music has inspired change and hope.
Kindness kind of works the same. One act of at a time can transform and change the world. Yeah, I think so. When you think about it, kindness is like composing a melody. And when you extend kindness, whether it is through a smile, a helping hand, or a simple act of understanding. You set something in motion. It’s like music itself, a rhythm, a melody.
Tonight, as we travel from East to West surrounding ourselves with sounds and stories, remember; be the first one to be kind, because if you do that, you’ll never lose. Pay it forward because in the war that kindness leads, we are all winners.
So for the next two hours and join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the Dapper Dean Martin, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, and many more.
Stay with me.
