Sing a little song won't ya hon.....

It amazes me in my life how much music has attached itself to the soul,  where as every note of a particular song can take you back to a time of good, and sometimes painful memories.  I love music.  It lifts me up, it surrounds me with thought.  It brings me joy.  It tugs at my heart strings like a hunter with a bow.  You pull it back and the arrow flies straight for the target with precision, making the greatest of men envious of the talent.  Nothing can get me going like music.  I love every type there is.  I can find a lovely song in every category, almost like a menu in a restaurant.  I fell in love with Bonnie Raitt way back in the 70's, with her bluesy tunes that made my heart come to learn the meaning of love.  Not the mushy gushy kind, but the kind that cuts right to the chase and you learn what true passion is all about.  How do you define passion?  I wonder if there are enough words.   I wonder how many songs we have in our memory banks that bring back a feeling of yesterday.  I have so many and starting young, I would have to say the Carpenters were the ones that made me love to think about love.  "Superstar" was and is an excellent song that I still sing at the top of my lungs driving down the freeway with no care except being 17 and in love with my boyfriend for the very first time in my life........He loved the Carpenters and together we would talk, laugh and love life with that beautiful voice in the background.  Awwwwwwww.......such a good time. 

I wonder what we would do without the tunes in the morning to start the day and end the day.  Can you even imagine what the world would hold without the glorious sound of strings and drums, and guitars.  I cannot even think what it would be like.  So very barren the air would be without the gentle sounds of instruments speaking to us in a language all their own.  Who would of known that another sense of life would exist in the gentle or powerful voice of someone with massive talent that could rock the world with excitement.  In my life, I can name right off the top of my head the songs that stayed forever with me...."Come Monday" by Jimmy Buffett, for how ever popular and over played it may be, I cannot help but hear it and think back to a time when love had no boundaries for me, and I loved with everything I had and don't regret it for a minute.  That song can come on the radio and I can relive that moment when the world felt right and good and I knew without a doubt that the most wonderful guy in the universe cared about ME, and I could be me and love like I always dreamed and feel with a powerful trust that just seemed to be the something I needed to believe. ......I loved it!  Still do, I keep it tucked neatly away in a very private part of my heart and can always rekindle a feeling of great joy just by that song...Wonderful way to recall all that I came to know as real.   As days travel into weeks and weeks into months, it is nice to know that the life being spent on something so terrific was spent with a lifetime of return.  A terrific moment in my world that made everything else small in comparison.  I love having something I will never regret.  This song reminds me of that.  Lucky girl I was....

Rock and Roll is here to stay and boy am I happy about that.  I love love love rock music too!  I think it is the power behind the drive.  It can make you party like a "rockstar" and you can accomplish so much with all of that momentum behind any task!  My favorite summertime treat is to work around the home doing chores of all sorts with the invigorating sounds of guitars and drums and anything else you want to throw in.  Better leave the Crown and Coke for another time, as that just detours the reason I started the music in the first place...but hey, who said you can't stop and dance right?!!!!  Wanna get some stuff done........Led Zepplin....addicting!   "Kashmir"......need I say more!  ( :

My life would not be complete without Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic".  What a down right sexy tune.  When you have great company and that man's voice cutting through your spirit, well there is no stopping what the feeling will say in a simple song.  If you have no words to express, no actions to show  feelings to the degree of passion that generates from  that music, all you have to do is close your eyes and listen and follow the words..........Nothing else need be said! 

Let us not forget about the greatest of all greats.....The Beatles!!!!  Cannot leave them out!  Ok, if I had to narrow it down to one....."In My Life"...it tells it the way it is, where life is real and time goes on but comes back to a feeling that belongs to no other...Just a wonderful display of words that jump right out and grab you and make you happy that love is something we can give to someone and feel so good about it.  What a gift....a wonderful, satisfying forever living music!

Whew....enough of that now, I better stop there....I just might get myself in trouble.!  Well you get my point.  Want something good?  Turn on your stereo or radio, or anything that brings that music to life for you.  You won't be disappointed as you take yourself into a world of moments and days gone by, only to bring you right back to it........All in a song, and that my friend, no one can take from you!
