Ember

Author: Uplifting Pills July 1, 2022 Duration: 0:00



"In each of us
There once was a fire
And for some of us
There seem as if there are only ashes now

But when we dig in the ashes
We find one ember
And very gently we fan that ember
Blow on it
It gets brighter
And from that ember we rebuild the fire

Only thing that's important is that ember
That's what you and I are here to celebrate

The ember gets stronger
Flame starts to flicker a bit
And pretty soon you realize that all we're going to do for eternity
Is sit around the fire."

― From The Spiritual Fire by Ram Dass


Also, did you know that I have another podcast called Chill Pills. It features the same quality of mixing craftmanship but focuses on more genres of downtempo music spanning chillout, lofi chill hop and lounge.

Sometimes the world is just too loud. Calm Pills-Soothing Space Ambient and Piano Music for Relaxing, Sleeping, Reading, or Mindful Meditation offers a quiet counterpoint, a series of ad-free audio spaces crafted for those moments when you need to step back. Created by Uplifting Pills, each episode is a seamless, multi-artist album designed to dissolve tension without demanding your attention. You'll find long-form compositions blending gentle, instrumental ambient pads with the organic textures of natural soundscapes and the soft, resonant notes of piano melodies. This isn't about a catchy tune to follow, but about providing a supportive sonic environment. Whether you're seeking a background for focused reading, a tool for your meditation practice, a gentle aid for slipping into deep sleep, or simply a few minutes to unwind a busy mind, this podcast serves as an auditory retreat. The mixes flow without interruption, allowing you to fully relax and let the carefully layered sounds ease the stress from both body and thoughts. Tune in, press play, and let the noise of the day fade into the background.
