My favorite song at the moment.

I am thinking about my future and the miles I have to travel. I think it’s making me a bit maudlin.

Music that moves me.

I love the way music changes my mood from sad to hopeful, even when the songs are sad. I just love the sound of real music. Real music with bass, drums, sax and harmonica..real music, with an orchestra and dancing..a voice in the dark, real music that connects you to the blues, the jazz the [...]

Lyrics to “Little Wonders” by Rob Thomas

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your [...]

My Funeral..

When I die, at the ripe old age of 99, I demand that this song be played at my funeral. It embodies the things I am, care about, believe…my favorite parts are the musical accompaniment that plays a “I want to sing you a love song” riff and the African singers section. This is my song [...]

Lyrics..love this song.

I love this song.
Fare you well my own true love
And farewell for a while.
I’m going away, but I’ll be back
If I go ten thousand miles.
Ten thousand miles, my own true love,
Ten thousand miles or more,
And the rocks may melt and the seas may burn,
If I should not return.
Oh don’t you see that lonesome dove,
Sitting on [...]

Favorite Lyrics This Week

Stay
Where have you been,
My long lost friend?
It’s good to see you again.
Come and sit for a while
I’ve missed your smile
Today the past is goodbye.

A lover’s embrace.
Can’t you hear it calling?
A new day dawning
You were longing to find.
Love’s taken you far
Away from my heart,
And I’ve been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What [...]

In Swahili, that means I love you. I have loved that saying for a long time. It was told to me by a friend at DAK. I mention it because I have a certain affection for Swahili. It’s a language I hope to learn completely one day. I also have deep affection for the African [...]
