Music Show #37 – 3/8 & 3/10/2017 – The Song Within Your Heart

These are songs that encourage us to get in tune with the Song within our heart.

Song #1 You’ve Always Got Song – Even when all seems lost the Song is always there. If we listen very carefully we may be able to find a way to sing along.

Song #2 “The Sound Within Your Heart” – If we can get in touch with the sound within our hearts then it may well set us free.

Song #3 “It’s Only a Song” – “If you try to put it in a box she will only disappear. If you try to grasp it in your hand you’ll think that it was never there.”

Song #4 She’s Calling You” – A call to come back to your center; back to your home.

Song #5 “Quietly” – Sometimes if we drift away from being the person that we’d prefer to be, we need a quiet voice that will guide us back.

Song #6 “Back to Your Heart” – A simple invite to come back to your heart after going astray.

Song #7 Open Up Your Heart” – Opening our hearts to the realization that life and love are one.

Song #8 The Song is Love” – Each of us will make choices about which song we’ll choose to sing in life. One of those choices is a song of love.

Music Show #35 – 2/22/ & 2/24/2017 – Vices

Songs about harmful habits and personal failings.  (A link for those songs that have YouTube music videos has been added.)

Song #1 If I Could Only – A humorous look back at some youthful hopes and dreams. In the end this bouncy song tries to leave the audience hopeful for the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Z3sOM4dtk&list=PL5294AD25E7CB1953&index=13

Song #3 “How Much Money?” – A simple question that all of us should ask ourselves. Just how much money do we need to be happy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjoeWerqIvM&list=PLOyRYerTUWm1wWx0rABevP5sOfMkRgmtp&index=14

Song #4 Life is Strange Enough” – Life is already strange enough without pushing our minds into other realms of distortion.

Song #5 “Don’t Wanna Be No Superstar” – I guess when I sing “I don’t wanna live that lie… I just wanna live my life” I’ve stated quite clearly what this song is about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIbC79I8MFc&index=7&list=PL3B2C81B27208BD0D

Song #6 “Grave Digging” – Sometimes we can dig a hole for ourselves by going down a path that we had pretty clear indications that it wasn’t going to be a good choice.

Song #7 Greed” – A song that simply cautions us to be aware of the overpowering characteristics of greed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naZklC_p9d0&t=10s&index=27&list=PLD31BC21FB0FC09BF

Music Show #32 – 2/1/ & 2/3/2017 – Rockin’ Fresh Toones

There may be debate whether these songs fit in the category of rock, but they’re as rockin’ as I get. (A link for those songs that have YouTube music videos has been added.)

Song #1 Cold, Cold, Cold – On some days you find yourself in such a cold environment that no matter how hard you try you just can’t get yourself warm. This is a song about one such day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkcz18EW5Ew&list=PL3B2C81B27208BD0D&index=9

Song #2 “Give’m What They Want” – The lavish luxuries of life are just pacifiers that keep us from getting up and utilizing the energy that comes from the love within.

Song #3 “I Was Lazy” –When I was too lazy to do the work required to seek out a more fulfilling love than one that just fed on my worldly needs.

Song #5 “Until This Planet’s Green” – “We won’t let this planet die in the hands of greed… We will help you until this planet’s green.”

Song #6 “Do I Sing or Do I Die?” – At some point in every one’s life they are confronted with this question. It’s then that we have to choose if we’re going to find our voice and sing or shrivel up and die.
