Songs of Love... with Zakia

Dream Time

Available for 26 days

DJ, broadcaster, writer and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensions… Zakia marks Valentine’s Day with a show dedicated to love, in all its forms… Unrequited, romantic, familial love, love for a furry friend, platonic, and more. It’s a show jam-packed full of listener suggestions. Whether you’re feeling loved up, perhaps practicing self love across this Valentine’s weekend - or even, feeling a bit grumpy about all of this adulation, Zakia has the tune for you. There’ll be a steamy love song, denounced back in the day by the Vatican, a chemistry-infused duet from a 1980s Hindi romance film, Parinda, a beautiful dedication to a mother’s love, and a favoured John Lennon song one listener likes to sing lovingly to their pet. Plus, a beautiful guitar melody that emerged out of a poem that was written by a long-lost friend. We want to hear your dreams! Send in tales of your sleepy adventures to dreamtime@bbc.co.uk or text us on 03700 100 600 A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 6 Music.
