Life on the blue and green planet spins round and round. That’s how it is. That’s how it always will be. Until the end of time. Whenever that is. Existence evolves and sometimes devolves, but more often than not, it evolves. Hopefully, it evolves for the better, but it is not always the case. The human spirit usually sees the wrong and fixes its mistakes. … Continue reading Round and Round
Looking back on October, I didn’t sense an overall theme or feeling. Just songs that marked moments, thoughts, feelings. October was a bit of a weird one for me. Neither blah or awesome. It just existed. Just. Listen/watch on Youtube HERE or below. Spotify* users HERE (*not all songs on Spotify) “A Better Future” by David Bowie From his HEATHEN album, which was considered a … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2017
Some months have an underlying theme or feeling and some months don’t. At first glance, I didn’t think September’s song had a theme, feeling, or pattern, but upon further inspection I see it’s about letting go so you can receive more. Which in reflection has become my meditation mantra this month “I release so I can receive”. Listen/watch on Youtube HERE or below. Spotify* users … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2017
This is the Top 16 Cover Songs according to me. It was really hard choosing just 16 as there are some great cover songs out there, but I’m pretty happy with this list.

When I originally sat down to reflect on the songs of August, I thought the theme was BREATHE as it appears in several lyrics and try as I might to stay level headed and together and positive and all that wonderful jazz, I do sometimes forget to just breathe. But on second glance, the theme was not BREATHE, the theme was NOT ENOUGH. For me, the first half … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2017
I give you Volume 2. Narrowing this down to 20 was so freaking hard. So many songs!! The last 20 years have been filled with gems that’s for sure. I also realized I am quite influenced by songs with “train” in the title. There was two in Volume 1, one here. Again, these songs are a part of who I am and have influenced me for … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 2 (1996-2016)
Not a lot of diversity artist wise for May. A lot of Sylvan Esso, Matthew Ryan, Depeche Mode and a few new artists thanks to the ultimate mindfuck that is the world of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. May was up and down for me. A full moon and new moon bookending the month fucked with me plus the normal mental battle I have just drained me. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2017
Bowie eyes wrapped in sin smile dripping with manic evil heart created out of stone soul that enveloped me like a black hole when I met you, a black star tourniquet with a cold dead Manson stare pulling me in within a simple glare heart shattered body lifeless head in pieces gasping for breath lying on the floor begging for more Continue reading Bowie Eyes
One month down eleven more to go. Not that I’m rushing 2017 through. So far so good. Sitting down and listening to all the songs again, I feel that the theme or message of January was about loving, being there, standing up for what you believe in and never giving up. That’s what I took away from all the songs. It’s not like the Universe … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2017
December started out on a positive note, fell to shit around the middle, and is ending in a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <— I think that emoji really could sum up the whole of 2016 along with these 3 letters: WTF. It could definitely sum up the last week of December with the deaths of George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Richard Adams and spaceman Piers Seller (and that’s … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2016
