June…half Corvid-19 and half semblance of normality. Felt weird to sit in a bar and have a drink, yet felt normal to be back at the gym. Mentally, I was the same. Feeling weird and feeling normal. Feeling half of this and half of that but not necessarily a whole something. The image to right sort of sums all the mental feels. I’ll be honest, … Continue reading Songs of My Life: June 2020
I’m not sure what the rhyme or reason was behind the music of March. Listening I would feel the theme would be “X” and then a song and half later, I’d find myself saying, “no it’s Y”. So I am just going with here are 15 songs that represent me at various points of March or represent something I needed to hear or feel in … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2017
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
Mentally, I was all over the goddamn place for May. Most of it was in a good headspace but damn the days where it was a bad headspace. I’m good at recognizing patterns my brain takes and signs of where it’s going to fuck with me so I can luckily do a preemptive strike on most of those bad headspace days but the days I couldn’t stop it from happening seemed like what the fuck moments times a billion. I survive though. Mostly through sheer will and my sidekick, music. Some of those bad headspace days, you just crawl into your bed, pull the blankets over your head and go to bed the moment your day ends and some days you share those bad headspace days with someone and their simple words of understanding help more than they know.

Better late than never! Here are the songs for December 2015. I didn’t have internet or cell service for most of December and I’m not even mad about it. I started this posted a few days ago, but finally have respectable wifi/internet to post it today. I hope everyone had a great NYE and that 2016 is filled with Universal light love and magic for … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2015
SONG: “11:59” ARTIST: Michael Franti Back on November 11, 2013, I wrote a post titled “The Song that Opened My Soul” and it was about the power of this song. This is what I wrote: Music normally touches one person’s life, but it is music that touches one soul that makes it amazing and spiritual. There I stood on a boat somewhere in the middle … Continue reading #07: “11:59”
July was just July. Nothing crazy happened. Nothing bad happen. It seemed too long and it seemed too short. I was madly inspired by friends (thank you Amy and to Melissa & Chris). July was just what it was and I’m okay with that. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: July 2015”
October was a quiet month but the songs were sort of soul connecting and reminders to just be. “Home” by Linus Young This song is the intro to Linus Young’s debut album, Category 5, and It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the music with the church bells and the lyrics: “There are days when I feel like dying. There are nights when I feel alone. But today I, … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2014
We’re not sure how we missed the video for “11:59” by Michael Franti & Spearhead coming out, but we’re so happy to have this video in our life. We have been very fortunate to see Michael Franti perform this song live and to be honest, it’s the song that made us become Michael Franti fans. The song gave us chills live and that seemed impossible in … Continue reading WATCH: “11:59” by Michael Franti & Spearhead
