Technically, the first 4 songs should have been in February, but I spent the last week of February on a giant boat with some of the best people I know…listening to music, falling in love with new music, and enjoying new music and that carried the first 4 songs into March, when I stepped back into reality. Reality can suck that’s for sure, but the … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2013
An iPod on shuffle can actually bring you answers to the questions you seek if you have an open mind and are willing to see or hear. February should have been titled.

I was not … Continue reading Songs of My Life: February 2013
I didn’t write, post, or do anything constructive in January…well, I don’t feel like I did anyway. I pretty much hid from life. My life was kind of in limbo. Living half here and living half there. My thoughts, my emotions, and physical being were/are tired, depressed, and wants to just crawl under the covers and hide from the world. I think the songs of … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2013
Gravity Storm by Jimmy Buffett The music of Jimmy Buffett never fails to give me an answer when I have a question for life. And the lyrics in this song answered my questions of how do I know what is right for me and what am I suppose to do next. “All your life you have to deal with ups and downs. So listen to … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2012
Suicide Eyes by A Thousand Horses This song is dirty, sexy, and just plain groovetastic. I had the joy of seeing this band perform on the Simple Man Cruise I took at the end of October. They have made me a fan. My favorite lyrics are “Take your sticks and stones ’cause they don’t break me. Leave your guns at home this ain’t no Western … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2012
Speechless by Morning Parade I was very fortunate to see this band not once but twice in one day. Acoustic & plugged in. Not only are they one of the nicest bands you will ever meet, they are superb live and funny. Besides any band that can put tsunami in song is okay by me. Everything I Once Had by The Honorary Title When this … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2012
Chrome by Matthew Ryan This song is one of my favorites by Matthew. He is a prolific songwriter and his lyrics are absolutely beautiful, heart wrenching, emotional, and connecting. I love the lyrics: “It’s not the sleep that I can’t steal, that wires me. It’s not the coffee or the pills it’s not this space that I can’t fill that kills me. Well in case … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2012
August was a month of living and having reminders on how to live my life. It was a blessed month and I am grateful it came to me in such a spiritual and receiving way. Where We Belong by Lostprophets I just love the lyrics: “I’ll make it through each day singing death or glory. Lord won’t answer me, I won’t let it bring me … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2012
Culture Bleeding by Xavier Rudd I find this song very spiritual. I don’t know if it’s the way Xavier uses the didgeridoo and drums but there is something that connects me to this song. It moves me. Let it Go by The Constellations This song just tells you what you need to do to…let it go. Sometimes you just go to let it … Continue reading Songs of My Life: July 2012
