Sunflower / Fragile: A live loop inspired by Ukraine
Last Sunday, I was thinking about the suffering in Ukraine, and started off the stream with the usual Sunday Sunflower - albeit with a different meaning. Since the war started, I learned that the sunflower is Ukraine's national flower. So that song hits a bit differently now. And after Sunflower, I segued into a rendition of Sting's poignant song "Fragile." I hope you enjoy it, and if you're able, please consider helping those affected by the violence:
