Enjoy my favorite picks from Indie Music world released in July/August 2022, in chronological order! "KHOYA" - SAAZ - India (released on July 1st) "'KHOYA' talks about the feeling of Getting Lost. Lost in the dark where there is no way and hope. This song is a monologue narrated by that lost soul who is not able to find the direction where to move ahead. I'm pretty sure everyone has gone through such a phase. So he starts requesting Energy in which he has faith. And then suddenly he finds the ray of hope which will guide him. We all have faith and believe in that one thing whom we trust so much. Either it is in a person in, Energy, in God, in Nature or it can be Anything. In which you believe and you share with them everything that's inside you without any hesitation. Because you know that person or soul won't gonna judge you and you just let all your's feelings and emotion out. I hope this song helps you to get out of those dark days ...

Since I remembered all the important things of the original movies (I wouldn't risk THAT spoiler, you know what I mean) I decided to watch the whole serie in chronological order starting from The Phantom Menace and ending with The Rise of Skywalker , plus all the spin-offs like Rogue One and Solo . Even if I tend to agree with most of the fans that the originals remain the best, I really enjoyed also both the prequels and the sequels with some little exceptions... that I won't say here. But I REALLY fell in love with The Mandalorian serie, and since I fell in love with the music too, I started being curious about t...
