I remember when I listened to radio all the time. Songs would be "recorded" there in my brain and play back to me over and over. This would be especially true if the song had a strong hook. I have a radio at work but seldom use it because I often find it distracting when I'm attempting to concentrate. And this is a petty thing, The volume is usually either too loud or too soft. I can't seem to get it where I want it. I tend to compartmentalize my life. Music has a compartment, work has a compartment etc. When I'm playing or making music, that's all I can do. When I'm at work. That's all I can do. I guess you could say I get very focused on whatever it is I'm doing. If I focus on music listening it tends to be rolling around in my mind long after, so if I'm planning to attempt to write music I stay away from music. Does that make sense? The only exception to this is maybe during meal time I'll ask my orbi voice to play something like "Christmas piano" or " Harp" or Baroque classical. Makes it feel like I'm eating in a classy restaurant The ride to and from work gets to be very boring. It was so boring yesterday I was counting males and females in passing cars for something to do. Sometimes I'll pick out something to focus on like post lights, how many houses have then and what type are they? I most often listen to either sermons or podcasts while driving. Why would a musician not listen to music? I have no idea. I think it overloads me. Sometimes I'll hum a hymn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my work day is spent running reports/working on data entry - so when doing that it's easy to have music playing. That's probably where some of the songs that get lodged in my noggin come from - but I've always been one to find themselves randomly singing a song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally mine doesn't either. It starts with tea. Or possibly my cat meowing outside the door as soon as she thinks someone is awake.

That's probably where some of the songs that get lodged in my noggin come from - but I've always been one to find themselves randomly singing a song. Nothing wrong with that. In my past experiences with work related music it was usually with a work crew out somewhere on a job. It was almost always classic rock they picked to play. Maybe because that music pumps people up to work better? So I would be listening to Led Zepplin , ZZ Top , Aerosmith, Pink Floyd or something similar. This was all day every day. I was recently back in a building under construction ( not as part of a crew) and nothing has changed. The 20 somethings and the rode hard and wore outs are both still putting on classic rock. Maybe that's one reason why I just like quiet or a sermon in the morning now. Not sure why but just hearing someone ramble on about something i.e. talk radio blah blah blah.....sometimes seems comforting. Odd I know. 10 minutes ago, NotAllThere said: Normally mine doesn't either. It starts with tea. Or possibly my cat meowing outside the door as soon as she thinks someone is awake.

And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?" Let's say we up and left this town, And turned our future upside down. We'll make pretend that you and me, Lived ever after happily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE KNOWS MY NAME (The McRaes) He counts the stars one and all He knows how much sand is on the shores He sees every sparrow that falls He made the mountains and the seas He's in control of everything Of all creatures great and small And He knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I cry He knows my name When I'm overwhelmed by the pain And can't see the light of day I know I'll be just fine 'Cause He knows my name I don't know what tomorrow will bring I can't tell you what's in store I don't know a lot of things I don't have all the answers To the questions of my life But I know in Whom I have believed Bridge He knew who I was when He carried my cross He knew that I would fail Him but He took the loss And He knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I cry He knows my name When I'm overwhelmed by the pain And can't see the light of day I know I'll be just fine 'Cause he knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I cry He knows my name ❤ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of deviations from Christianity. Like the belief that God was manifested in Hailey Selassie of Ethiopia, and that Jesus was black. I don't have to beleive these things to like this song. I guess I Christianize it in my own mind, as I do with other songs. One love, one heart Let's get together and feel all right Hear the children cryin' (one love) Hear the children cryin' (one heart) Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right Sayin' let's get together and feel all right Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love) There is one question I'd really love to ask (one heart) Is there a place for the hopeless sinners Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs? One love, what about the one heart, one heart What about, people, let's get together and feel all right As it was in the beginning (one love) So shall it be in the end (one heart) All right! Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right Let's get together and feel all right, one more thing Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (one love) So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song) Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation Sayin', one love, what about the one heart? (one heart) What about the, let's get together and feel all right I'm pleadin' to mankind (one love) Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right Let's get together and feel all right Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right Let's get together and feel all right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
