Feel the Music 

‘Breathe (In the Air)’ Pink Floyd tells us over the airwaves. And we do, remembering that the moment is all we have. Speaking of time, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the British band’s cult concept album The Dark Side of the Moon—a work of art in which the tracks run together, and one can hardly tell where one song begins and another one ends. Because such linear concepts are precisely beside the point. 

The point, it seems, is to really listen—to the lyrics, and the composition. To tune into how it makes you feel and, in doing so, also learn to tune into the rhythms of your soul. 

What does it look like when we seek connectivity above all else? When we seek to harmonise and strive to tick in tune to the same beat? There is a sense of community at the heart of this sort of commitment. Because there is something both simultaneously universal and yet intensely individual about music as a discipline. It brings people together but can also mean something entirely different to each person.

Music is timeless, too, with messages that stretch beyond our current reality, weaving their way back through the past and snaking on into the future.

What comes up when we allow ourselves to feel into that experience? To feel the music and what it means to us— both collectively and individually? How can we tune into the rhythms of life, as it cycles back and forth through the generations?

For Chapter Ten, Noemie Beltran transports us to Guincho in Portugal, and we find a similar sense of escape with CHANEL’s Les Beiges Voyages beauty collection. The Inner Seam column honours pieces that are passed down through the generations and Australian-Swedish musical sister act Say Lou Lou share with JANE PRIVÉE their new single and unique worldview. 

Prompting us all to question: what is our worldview? So wherever you are this month, we invite you to find your own rhythm. And to feel the music of your soul.
