This week's Sleep Song finds composer Eduardo Rivera going back to basics with his beloved old acoustic guitar. Says Eduardo, "I bought this guitar in 2009 for $200. I never meant to keep it for as long as I have. By all means, it's lived longer than it really should have. It's been on tour with me all over the U.S., all over Europe, I ran over part of it with a van accidentally, it's been stolen and later recovered at a pawn shop." In keeping with the theme of his well-worn guitar, this Sleep Song has a lo-fi quality, a transparency that says: everything is okay just as it is, our stories can come with us, the rough-and-tumble times as well as the triumphs, all blending together into a sweet, sweet song. As our composer says: "Sometimes it's nice to hear the imperfections. There's something comforting about it. Like hearing a story from a grandparent and appreciating their time-worn wisdom."Original music from composer Eduardo Rivera.Meditative Story combines extraordinary human stories with meditation prompts embedded into the storylines — all surrounded by breathtaking music.
