Crucial Track – 14 August 2026

“Little Fluffy Clouds” by The Orb Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. What song makes you feel connected to nature? Nature, to me, is something to bask in, something to enjoy. I love spending time in nature, wandering through woods, cycling trails, but my earliest memories of connection to nature were formed in my childhood home. Summer evenings, a rug on the grass, the heat of the day simmering down, lying back and watching the sky. Acres of blue, spots of white floating lazily by. The realisation that I am just a tiny speck on the surface of the world, that the clouds, the grass, the bushes and trees, will outlast me. The building sense of being part of a world bigger than roads and pavements and houses and things. And this song brings that all back.
