Cold Blue - Dance Of The Giraffes [Cold Blue Records]

Release Day! 🦒☀️ Today the “Happy ID“ finally gets its full release in the fresh shape of “Dance Of The Giraffes“: Many years ago I got introduced to the concept of “non-violent communication“ by Marshall Rosenberg. It offered me an impressive yet simple perspective on human behaviour, giving me answers to so many different questions about why we act in certain ways and what kind of weird strategies we choose to serve our own needs. It taught me how I can find more peaceful and harmonic ways to communicate my feelings and my needs in an authentic and non-offensive form. Up until today it has been an amazing companion in my life, helping me to get to know myself better every day, building self-awareness and confidence. Without it I would probably still be just making music and barely speak to people at all. :) So now why the track title? In that concept the giraffe’s heart (the largest of any land mammal) represents the quality of empathy, compassion, and the ability to deeply connect with others on an emotional level. And at some point I stumbled across the picture of the ’giraffe dance’, serving as a metaphor for the ideal form of authentic communication where we engage in empathetic listening, express ourselves honestly and respectfully, and work towards understanding and meeting each other’s needs. What immediately follows is a true connection from heart to heart, a state of happiness, peace and euphoria and a strong wish to celebrate life. All this comes very close to the emotions that I feel when listening to this “happy ID“. :) With this track I would like to draw attention to the life work of Marshall Rosenberg and everyone who has been teaching and living non-violent communication - and by that, helping to bring peace to this planet. Here is ’Dance Of The Giraffes’, out today on your favorite music platform! Thank you all for staying connected and following my music. :) Follow Cold Blue on:
