“We need to have music that contributes to the well-being of the spirit. Music that cradles people’s lives and makes things a little easier. That’s what I try to do, and what I want to do. You don’t want to close the door on hope.” – Merle Haggard

This is yet another throwback mix that was released exactly 7 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind. I decided to give those mixes a second life in this channel because they embody the same uplifting feel as the Chill Pills you have come to love.

Making this mix was a labor of love. If you feel like showing your appreciation, buy me a cup of a coffee. You can also share this with your friends, rate it or leave a review. Thank you.

We are all painters
Holding a color palette
Conceiving a painting
It’s how we mix the colors
Depending on our imagination
Whether we paint happiness
Or scenes of saddened gray
Situations yield the paintings
Sometimes splashing all colors
Or else black colors gloom
Universe has mostly dark energy
Yet, we have found our colors
To paint our abode, we inhabit
No matter, colors of joy and sorrow
We celebrate all colors
We are all painters, wielding the brush
To create new colors of hope

Pull me away from reality
Let me escape, help me to see

Hiding in my refuge of music
Drowning out all emotions
Finally forgetting myself
Not having to go through the motions.

Life seems like a river you know.
It is continually running on,
Where it goes no one ever knows.

The beauty that we pass on our way,
a sweet smile from a friend or lover,
a kiss and tender moment shared,
time spent with family.

They are rivaled by none, it is our own.
the moments shared and,
the memories that we create,
will last a lifetime and then some.

So be aware of the good and bad.
But most of all enjoy the ride,
because life is like a river.

You are loved by more than the human mind can see. You are surrounded by peace.”

Lay perfectly still
and wait until the bass makes your face vibrate.
Mindfolds on in perfect darkness
feel the music start to bring you solace.
Body goes numb and with it the mind
sleep paralysis sets in try not to fight it.

Hallucinations so vivid,
a reality so lucid.
Let it overwhelm you or run the risk of losing it.
Get lost in a dream of your own design
carefully constructed behind your eyes.
It’s a tall task if you want to build your own city,
Or feel the emptiness of space and experience infinity.

A nostalgic soundtrack for a rainy day.

“Memories warm these rainy days
we’re safely silently inside listening
the pitter patter plays a sad refrain
smiling yet our eyes are glistening

If I could I’d take you back to then
but there’s no road leading there
and while the memories are sweet
we both have all eternity to share

So we sigh reminiscing in the rain
about this precious life we’ve led
cherishing our fondest memories
knowing many more yet lie ahead.”
