Last year I had eye surgery (目の手術) two times.  I stayed in the hospital for 6 days and 10 days.  No visitors were allowed (面会禁止)because of Covid (コロナ).  I couldn't see well, and I was bored(退屈), and I was lonely.   

During my time in the hospital, I listened to a lot of YouTube.  And I discovered an amazing musician.  His name is Josh Garrels.  His music is fresh and wonderful.  It's very hard to describe in words.  He is a very, very versatile (多面的、多芸多才?)musician.  

 

 

In the following short song, he doesn't even really sing.  But the music is dreamy and magic. And the video is nice.

 

 

 

He has a very distinctive (異色?) voice.  

The next song is actually a Christmas song.  Josh Garell's voice and the music arrangement is so, so beautiful!

 

 

 
 
And this next song is a kind of fantasy song.  The animation that goes with the song is lovely too.
 
 
He has many, many songs that he makes available for free on Youtube.  He also has a website where you can buy his music.

 

 

I love this music so much that I wish I could play it from big speakers in the sky!  I feel like it could heal the whole world.

If you are interested in hearing more Josh Garrels music, search for him on YouTube.  There are so many wonderful songs, and each song is so unique.  When I listen to other music now, it feels like junkfood compared to Josh Garrels' very hearty (がっつり)and substantial (具たくさん) music.

 

It's impossible for me to choose my favorite songs by Josh Garrels.  

I will leave 3 more songs below.  If you are interested, please search for "Josh Garrels" on YouTube!

 

 

 
 
And a fun song:

 

 
 
He's not a pop singer.  For me, his music is a kind of healing art.
 
When I was alone in the hospital, this music brought me great comfort. and enjoyment.  Maybe you will like it too?
 
Who is your very, very favorite musician?
