This time of year, the veil is thin. We can feel the connection with the other side… those who have gone before us. Hold your loved ones close to your heart as you remember them. They may just visit you in a dream to check in… - Leslie, @mourningcandle.bsky.social 🕯️

For fans of Heilung + Tori Amos, the ethereal experience of seeing @silverreinmusic.bsky.social perform is memorable and deeply moving. ✨ Here’s a clip from her recent performance in Nashville.

Since seeing Night in Athens live at Nightshade Festival in Chattanooga two weekends ago, I’m obsessed with this song: “Words Unspoken.” It’s absolutely beautiful and haunting #darkwave #gothicmusic with #postpunk influences. Thanks to #NightShadeFestival promoters #UnknownPleasures for this show! 🙌
