Today has been a weird mix of emotions - sadness - nervous- vilnerable - insecure

 

 

[Heather Shay]

Attitude - the day doesn't care what you think of it - it goes on being a day - if you DECIDE to make something of each day - you will. SMILE

I heard this song just now and tears are coming - I am hopeful on my journey - many set backs - but this song gives me hope that I will find the strength - and with the love of my sisters here " I see the chance and I'm going to take it" FINALLY thank you ladies............... tears..................

[Cyndee]

listening to Jackson Browne this morning, such a great song,  just a lovely guitar hook, an uplifting infectious groove to this.....

 

 

[Heather Shay]

I feel like a Bluebird today - this is entire version you usually don't hear

I found the Oh Hellos on accident and now Im writing my friends a dnd campaign based off it because I like the vibes. Tis the first campaign Ive written but it should be fun

They have a new album (if they can still be called that - although vinyl is making a come back) - I always remember hearing their first album in my mom's basement and I can see me putting the disc on the old stereo system.

 

I always thought - "She's As Beautiful As A Foot" was an interesting title.

 

 

but of course the song our band played - or should I say - TRIED to play....

Sun is out - I'm smiling - hope you will as well - 

 

 

[Jani]

Another great song!  Its rainy here today but this makes my day brighter.

[Heather Shay]

I feel the emotion in this song - it's not what I feel today - because I am hopeful in my own relationship right now but the song jumped in my head and I get the goosebumps and the memories shooting back to the time and place I first heard it.

I am writing a new song that just came out - I think it is called "Forever and a Day" - from the vibe I get from this song

 

[Heather Shay]

Now I know where I sold this bass line ( @Cyndee and @Jani and @Katharina @Susan R @jae bear @Abi @Mmindy )

 

 

[Abi]

@Shay I Can't Make You Love Me is an amazing song. I kinda prefer this version myself. Bonnie definitely set the bar though.

 

[Heather Shay]

[Abi]

Turning into a PETER GABRIEL day - I saw him with Genesis at the University of Toledo in 1972 in his era of weirly cut hair, daygo blacklight and costumes and playing kick drum with a little guy on drums called Phil Collins.

I have been listening to this song on repeat. 

 

This songs reminds me of my closet friend I met online around 2 1/2 years ago. She has been through it all with me.

Following on from a bit of nostalgic music listening last night I came across a couple of pieces of music. One new for me (the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto) and the other (Eric Carmen's - All by myself). The Eric Carmen track is one I listened to over and over again when it came out in 1975. I was frequently on my own and a very confused teenager. All through my life, even when married and in a loving relationship there was always part of that was "All by myself" until recently. So it means a huge amount to me. Much of the melody in that song comes from the 2nd movement of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto that is linked to below. I found this concert last night on Youtube and it is a wonderful audio and visual recording. (And yes I am very jealous of the fantastic talent and beauty of Anna Fedorova). If I'm honest it's not often I play a classical concert from beginning to end, but I was captivated by this one.
