Love,Musicwithinyou

winters night, sky pearl dances

Winter Night, Sky Pearl Dances

winter branches dance to the wind

beneath the sky pearl's glow.

trees wearing newly winter clothes

asking the sky pearl to dance with them

the cold air captures the dance

and we hear it in the sky.

Crank it up

When life is good and there is no better thing to do then to crank up your music....


I'm in the mood for a little Black Crowes

So Crank It Up!! 
                        Hard To Handle

I'm a Grateful Dead fan but I seem to like the Black Crowes version better.
While you're at it, here is another one from them

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all

Let music and love fill your hearts and bring joy into your life

a gift of life

Christmas Past

As we all hurry through this season, I'm finding I'm not the only one missing Christmas Past.   I was doing really well until Friday.   I got a call late at night from a friend, asking me if I knew that a classmate/friend died Tuesday from a heart attack.  I found myself at a funeral Saturday, forgetting I still needed to buy gifts for my grand kids. 

I started to find myself dragging but this morning I felt my heart skip a beat as I watched about a charity called  Globe Santa

http://globesanta.org/  

The word "Giving"  

I truly love this word "giving" because no matter how bad we think things are , this word brings hope to me for we was given a gift.  A gift of life....


Chilling to hear this song....

A time to reflect

CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! 

I can't contain myself no more!! 

I LOVE Christmas music!!!   I really could go ON and ON about Christmas music.  There are SO many of them to listen too.....

I could really listen to it all year round but usually I don't... But really I could!! 

Since I could sit here and post about every Christmas song that is out there, but I won't, instead I will share only two songs I love to listen too.

This song brings me to tears each time I listen to it. 

Carol of the Bells is one of my all time favorites. 

Today is a day to reflect but then again I feel every day should be a day to reflect. Today is my daughters birthday but today was filled with grief when the airways  filled with news about the tragedy that happened today. As we all try to comprehend the aspects of it all, we will all go to bed knowing that today so many are going through a parents worse nightmare.     

jazz legend

For those who like Jazz, Dave Brubeck 91years old, legendary Jazz player. 

He passed away today....... 

here are a couple of his songs

winter song

My Winter Song to You

by Sarah Bareilles and Ingrid

Existence



lost in the echo

Lost

In



The

Echo

We

Find

Silence



belief

Belief, such a powerful word we seem to all feel it is buried deep in side of us. 

As i sat and listen to this song, i found myself crying... not really sure why... i think we all go through it

I want this song to touch all those who really need it right now....

I need this song right now

for what ever reason it might be.... let this song heal you and know that when you are feeling down

With each waking day there is

Life

             Hope

                           Love

                                           Music

we all need saving

Jon McLaughlin was born and raised here right in Indiana. 

I have a couple of friends that have seen him in concert but I have yet to see him.  After hearing this song I can understand why my friend likes him so much.  

We All Need Saving

I am adding this man to my list of artist I have to see in concert. I am crumbling while I listen to him sing. I can only imagine he is this great in concert too...


If Only I

step back in time

I haven't done a step back in time in awhile....

and this song came on yesterday that made me crank up my radio to full blast. I can't for the life of me remember if I heard this song before and I'm thinking where the HECK was I when this song came out!

 Lately, I think I'm starting to suffer from memory loss.  I found myself last night talking to one of my friends about my new glasses I just got and she had to remind me, she was with me when I picked them out..  Yep, how embarrassing that I can't even remember that she was with me when I picked them out.  Oh well I will blame it on the alcohol for now...But

I knew right away it was the Eurythmics singing this song.  Annie Lennox is one of my favorite female artist and to think? I never heard this song! 

Missionary Man

Of course my all time favorite by this group will always be

Sweet Dreams (are made of this)

a bountiful harvest of blessings

A day to be truly thankful

A day to be truly blessed

A day to walk amongst the harvest

A day to find that special one

A day to truly live

Little Black Submarines

I just got to see last night ,Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang. Two great artist and are both amazing, so who could ask for more.
I'm still loading video I took of Charlie Daniels Band so it might be a week before I get the pictures and video loaded I took last night.

I was thinking what artist I would like to try and see next year. 

I'm talking with a friend right now about going to see P!NK in Ohio.  The other artist I would love to see are (not necessarily in this order) Adele, Jason Mraz, One Republic, Linkin Park, Matt Kearney, and this group called Black Keys.

I have posted a couple of their songs before and I think they are channeling Led Zepplin in this song.

CHECK HIS GUITAR OUT!!!!!  in the beginning of the song they show his guitar. I have never seen one like it before. 

Black Keys singing Little Black Submarines

my sins my body

My Sins My Body

my eyes open another day to face my sins

unhidden, i wear my sins like shackles
bonded to my bones

rusted chains hanging for all to see

like trophies

i stand naked before this mirror 

my sins stare back at me

my flesh and bones can't take these chains 
no more

i hear screams from hungry children

for i have stolen food from their mouths

i am

my body my sins

my sins my body

i must face them each waking day 

while the hourglass drinks the sand down,

a bottomless pit it seems.

my thoughts spin out of control

my fist wants to shatter the hourglass

for it is only half empty now

a starved child i am, hungry i am not

tell me, is this pleasure or is this pain?

i am

my body my sins

my sins my body

for every sin i have indulged 

i must undo every chain

miles and miles  

faster and faster 

up and up

hour after hour

for each sin i have done

they bleed from my flesh and bones

i am

my body  my sins

my sins my body

the longing it taunts me so

my soul can not breathe

i want to break this hourglass

so my soul can breathe.

new sins are now dancing like a flame
in front of me 

so i close my eyes to escape them

the hourglass is empty now

but i open my eyes to find the hourglass
full once more

and i must face my sins another day

skyfall

My dad is a big fan of James Bond movies. 

The one and only Adele got to do the new song for the new movie coming soon. 

Her song is called Skyfall and critics are agreeing it stands up there with other artist from past bond movies (Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey)

I was hoping for of a jazzy feel but truthfully I love the lyrics more than anything else. 

I have been trying for sometime now to post my first audio poem but been having issues getting it on to a newer version of moviemaker.  I am so happy that I finally finished a poem I have been working on and want to make it my first audio on here but I keep running into problems.  I hope to share it soon so until then enjoy this new sexy song by Adele

Roads Untraveled

remember where you came from,

where you're going, and why you created

 the mess you got yourself into in the first place.

You're going to die a horrible death, remember.

 it's all good training, and you'll enjoy it

 more if you keep the facts

 in mind.

Illusions by Richard Bach

Linkin Park singing Roads Untraveled



My Oh My

I would love to hear Adele sing this song, but until then I'm enjoying this new song by Tristan Prettyman 

All My Days

Alexi Murdoch singing All My Days.  I found this song while watching the movie Real Steel.  I enjoy finding new music and artist this way. I also enjoyed some of the Rap songs that they had on this movie,but this song and it's lyrics certainly made my soul take in every word.

Queen of California

When I hear songs like this it reminds me of music I use to listen to back in the 70's. Does anyone else feel the same way?


John Mayer singing Queen of California

a web of perfection no more

I lower my head and felt my heart sank when I saw what another co-worker did to this magnificent perfection.  During break a co-worker said I should go see the spider out back.  I grabbed my camera in joy and went out back.  My eyes came upon it, I saw it's beauty, it's perfection before me.

A spider,the size of a tarantula was sitting proudly in the middle of it's domain.

 I am no fan of spiders,but it is the beauty of the woven lines that this spider makes,I see the spiders

perfection. I close my eyes and realize how we are so small in something that is bigger than we will ever come to know.

 This spider and its web holds just as much beauty as this rose does.

My joy is fleeting at the site of this web of perfection

 because I see the destruction another co-worker has done. They decided to take a can of 3-M glue and sprayed the web and the spider.  My heart feels the pain at what they did. Does man know no limits to destruction of what is beautiful?

Our House

Our House

This world is our house

We live under one roof

one heartbeat

one breath

one laughter

one tear

one death

blue moon shiloettes

Here are my newest shiloettes I got to take last week,
while the blue moon was out and a song to go with it. I only got two nights to take photos since we got what was left over from Isaac.

mumford and sons

Mumford and Sons:

This group is hitting the air ways and is listed as bluegrass/folk rock band.

Their music has reached main stream radio, which is great!! It also looks like their concerts are mostly sold out...  

This video has me thinking about why they did it this way.   Just like in any relationship, we are always looking what is ahead of us and this video the whole time you can only see what is right in front of them, at that moment in time they are passing it.   It's scary to see just the road right in front of you and not know what is ahead of you(it has your heart racing not knowing) but at the same time it makes you really see what is right in front of you. 


                          I will Wait

Here is one more song I like

Their new album will be available Sept 24th, 2012

Feel Again

New song by OneRepublic can only mean one thing.....

Concert Tour sometime soon I hope!! Yes, No ???   This is one group I want to see, so maybe before long I will get to hear them live...

find that perfection

jonathan livingston seagull ~

"do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the flock? A thousand lives, jon, ten thousand! And then another hundred lives until we began to learn that there is such a thing as perfection, and another hundred again to get that our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth."

more to life?

crowded in my head

On a daily basis my head is playing three different songs.  Lately I have had some odd ones in my head and it's certainly interesting combination.  These are the three

Villa Lobos

I just got done reading the first book to Fifty Shades of Grey.  There are times when I need to listen to music like this.   It puts me in a different frame of mind and lets me appreciate my love for all music.
Villa Lobos is a great composer that has put together pieces of music that truly need to be heard.  I hope people take the time to explore music that is not their normal genre and find themselves lost in the moment this music takes you too.

But like I said my head is also playing at the same time this song.  I love Ludacris for his rap music and it's being played at my gym during Zumba class. The song is now stuck in my head.

Third song seems to keep changing.  I'm either having this song in my head by Maroon 5 - One More Night. I would love to choreography the dance moves for this song.  I feel like they are going back in forth dancing at close range with their bodies,but never once touching each other. 

The other song is by Needtobreathe -Washed by the Water

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one that has more than one song playing in their head?

The Script Feat. WIll.I.AM

Love this group and Will.i.am!! 

Lately I have been feeling down about how my diet has been going but hearing this song has me wanting to keep trying..
Great inspiring song that has me wanting to not give in to my problems. 

Will. I. AM  is the head singer for Black Eye Peas.  I always love what this man has to sing about. So far I love this group called The Script too. I have a few of their songs already.

Great song guys!!!!


Hall of Fame

Back to School

Since today was the start of a new year of classes for Shoes.  I figure he would appreciate this song. 

I seriously can't believe I never saw this show!! 

But of course the only song that most kids are playing is this one.  

( I will admit I was not a great student growing up but now that I went to college, some of my teachers I can't thank enough for having them as my teacher. )                                                                         

Beach Boys Concert

I did mention back in July that I ended up at a Beach Boys concert while on vacation. I kind of got side track since then with other concerts, so I have not got back to post about getting to see them until now. I love that these guys are still performing. You get people of all ages at these kinds of shows and the fans show up dressed in their Hawaiian shirts!  This was their 50th anniversary tour and to sing a couple of songs from their new album, so it was a time to re-live the past and to celebrate they still have what it takes. During the show they did a nice tribute to two of the group members that are no longer with them , Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson.

Who are the original band members?
Brian Wilson, 1942-, Dennis Wilson, 1944-83, and Carl Wilson, 1946-98, with Mike Love, 1941-, and Alan Jardine, 1942-.

Joining them to play in the band is David Marks and Bruce Johnston

Former members include Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar
Former touring members include Glen Campbell, Daryl Dragon, Mike Kowalski, Carli Munoz and Toni Tennille

I was able to video them singing one of their new songs from their new album. 

Is it Time

I did get a few of their past hits too
