What song do you find yourself singing today?

[Starise]

I feel very guilty for saying this, but my day seldom starts with music. 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.

I listen to podcasts when I'm driving home and sometimes in the morning also. 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.

Penny Lane  by The Beatles.  I don't know why. It is just in my head.

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. Which is really annoying when you get up at 5 to go for a pee.

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.

LOL! Oh I see you're there too. Who needs an alarm clock? It's either get up or wet the bed.

You don't know the half of it, brother/sister! Just to say CISC...

I often think upon the "new song" noted in Revelation.

[IloveyouGod.]

Well for me today it was Holy Holy Holy,  House of Gold specifically:

Chorus one:

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
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.

 This song is my daily song  'helps me so much these days ?    

      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 ❤

Bob Marley

One Love

 

Bob Marley was a Rastafarian.  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
