ReeToxA’s “Jody” delivers love, loss and longing
On “Jody,” ReeToxA admits that openness can rock just as hard as any anthem. One of the highlights from his debut album “Pines Salad,” the song follows a love story as it turns from affection to reflection, finally settling in somewhere achingly bittersweet.
Initially a love ballad, “Jody,” written by Jason Mckee in 2001, was molded by time. As the relationship dissipated, so did the song’s innocence, replaced by a perceptive meditation on love and friendship, and that quiet sorrow of parting ways. What endures is a breakup song that doesn’t wallow in its loss, but remembers it.
“Jody” balances smoothly between restrained emotion and rock’s reliable strength. It exudes the sound of someone mining old feelings to pay homage to what used to be. This track doesn’t attempt to unbreak a heart, but it simply shares the space. It’s a sincerity that makes it one of the band’s most emotionally affecting releases to date.
A softer side of ReeToxA is on display with “Jody,” as he demonstrates that strength doesn’t have to be loud and can sometimes be found by allowing the past to linger quietly. It’s a song that stays with you long as a gentle antidote to remind us that sometimes even endings can be beautiful.

Jon von Boehm crafts a musical adventure through jazz, rock, and r&b with latest release “Not Today”
Jon von Boehm, a talented artist and well-known bass player, confidently releases his new single, “Not Today.” This is the first song from his new project. This five-minute instrumental piece is a great way to start a musical journey focused on working together, being creative, and expressing deep feelings. Von Boehm puts together an amazing group of musicians who bring the track to life with their natural, lively energy. He does this by using his years of experience as a session musician. The rhythm is based on a great group of drummers, Marcus Finnie, Cory Ponder, Kyle Edmonston, and Michael Green.
Their lively interaction keeps the song going. Guitarists Jake Patterson, Cole Clark, and John Gallo add depth and nuance by carefully layering tones and textures. “Not Today” is a genre-bending journey through sound that combines jazz fusion, instrumental rock, and classic rhythm and blues. The piece changes naturally, letting each musician shine while maintaining the overall emotional arc. It is a piece that shows both spontaneity and careful craftsmanship, and it is very emotional while still being very good at playing music.
“Not Today” is really about telling stories without using words. Von Boehm’s bass lines move the story along, taking listeners through times of thought, intensity, and freedom. The result is a complicated soundscape that makes you want to listen to it again and again, each time finding something new. This release sets the stage for what should be an interesting project, grounded in working together, feeling, and daring musical exploration.

Rina Rain invites stillness, presence, and inner freedom with latest release “Om Mani Padme Hum”
Rina Rain, a well-known artist and meditation teacher, gives listeners more than just a song in her new single “Om Mani Padme Hum.” She gives them a mantra that helps them get in touch with their deepest selves. The song is about old knowledge and a real desire to help people. It takes you on a journey of thought through love, kindness, and learning.
The slow, steady repetition from the beginning creates a calming rhythm that is both grounding and freeing. The mantra can grow when it rains, and each line can really hit home. The tempo of the song slowly picks up as it goes on, which makes the listener more aware and present. This natural change is like how meditation works, where peace slowly gives way to clarity and understanding.
Rina Rain says that the mantra is a holy friend that gets stronger every time you say it. Her delivery makes the union that “the jewel in the lotus” stands for real, as compassion and wisdom come together in sound. She has a soft and strong voice that echoes into what she calls the “expansive stillness of the void,” where sound, thought, and emotion all fade away into peaceful silence.
The closeness of this recording makes the listener feel like they are having a private moment of thought and respect. Rain doesn’t just say the mantra; she really lives it. This makes the room feel both timeless and very personal. The end result is a song that helps you deal with cognitive dissonance and teaches you how to find freedom inside yourself. “Om Mani Padme Hum” is a great example of how music can help, heal, and change people. In a world that never stops moving, Rina Rain is a place where you can relax and listen to music. A holy break is when your breath, heart, and spirit all work together perfectly.
