Thank you my lovely friend for expressing what the world needs to hear. As I'm reading this I'm hearing my own voice telling me it's time for me to rip my bandaids off and start taking a lot more personal responsibility. ❤️
Jacqueline holy sh*t! I LOVE this song! The words are so true. Excellent article by the way. Nailed it. Causes, so crucial to understanding effects. Love how you interwove your past into this piece. When talking about bending and then mending I thought of the Matrix and the young potential boy who bends the spoon by looking at it. Then he tells Neo there is no spoon. The solution is us always has been. Looking forward to more music from you!
WOW Chris!! Many thanks for both listening and for leaving me this really thoughtful comment!
"I thought of the Matrix and the young potential boy who bends the spoon by looking at it. Then he tells Neo there is no spoon. The solution is us always has been. "
I love this song :) I am listening while I write my response.
Today I heard the following where I work. "Yeah, I have a joy and a concern. I just recovered from covid for the SECOND time this month. I have had 8 shots! I think I know WHO GAVE IT TO ME. There was a man who had the sniffles (I forgot where that was, I was reeling from the 8 shots comment) . So anyway, PLEASE everyone. GET TESTED. If you think you are sick, GET TESTED . WE HAVE TO PROTECT EACH OTHER".
This is an acceptable comment where I work. It's excruciating.
I really like making music with my music friend so I stay. But whenever I hear a comment like this I think about leaving again.
I just can't freaking BELIEVE people.
I am so sick of these ridiculous comments. So , so sick of them.
ONE of these days, I am gonna take the mic and drop it and walk away. But I am not ready yet. I have more music to make this year. If anyone ever asked me I would tell them the answer. Zero and Zero. And thatgoes for my whole nuclear family.
But no one asks. Funny, that.
SAKES alive. It just makes me shake my head.
Of course I WAS shaking my head and rolling my eyes.
And then when she said "okay, well, I will stop talking now"
Oh my goodness, my warrior sister....you never fail to make me laugh out loud. I fall more in love with you with every comment you make! That sounds reeeeeally excruciating. Where the heck do you work?! Your job is to make music??
Ya....i painfully ingested my very first red pill at 18, the one that taught me how the world beneath the world works. It was food industry crap that first introduced me to lobbying and corruption, and though it stripped away my innocence, it also imbued me with a lifelong savviness and awareness I wouldn't trade for anything. Honestly, it's been a bit of a lonely journey, only randomly finding a few other seekers along the way who knew the same stuff I did. Mostly, I was just the weirdo at the bar or party who wanted to talk about real things and not sports or shopping.
As shitty and weird as the past couple of years have been, I feel less alone and more surrounded by kindred spirits than I ever have. This spiritual crisis we are all going through has gifted me with a family of warriors I am so blessed to be meeting. Despite the screen getting in the way of our hugs. Thanks for listening to my song. xo
Aw, you made my face leak. Yes, I am a pianist and a Unitarian Universalist Church. I have been there for 12 years. The choir director is an amazing singer. Absolutely INCREDIBLE> I have written poems about it. That's how good. I love that. I love the people as well, but ..........now that I know what I know.............you know. It must have been rough on your for so long. As soon as I "snapped out of it" I immediately felt bad for everyone who went before me. It is a lonely way to be. I can only image how difficult it was to go through for 25 years! I am only 4 years in. Haha. I mean, I never trusted "this" or "that" and always questioned "this" and "that" , but I didn't realize just HOW F'ed up things were until recently. I appreciate you so much. HUG you. *SQUUUUUEEEEze!
*also I do the occassional side gig.....and I can play whatever I want from pop to world to ambient to religious to metal to jazz to classical. BOOM. This Sunday coming, I am playing for a ladies luncheon. :)
Awwww!! Thanks so much for the hug!!! Wow, good on you for being a working musician. 🙌🙌 That’s a beautiful achievement, sister!! You must be very talented to play whatever you want. Bravo! ❤️
Well I am not playing Franz List. Haha. But I can handle some Rachmaninoff and Chopin. I can play a couple of Liszt pieces, but those are the easy ones. (for HIM) That guy was a wizard at aged 10. And I am no Art tatum, but I can play it, if you catch my drift :)
I had practically forgotten about this song, and it’s been years since I listened to or played it. It’s a bit too “SJW” for my more mature chilled out view of things. But it did strike me as still relevant in our current reality, as I wrote here, so I’m glad I dusted it off and brought it out for sharing with all of you. Thanks for listening!
I’m in! Can I do it from home in my pajamas?
Brilliant. 🥳
Yes
Indeed. ❤️
Excellent Jacqueline! Thank you for a glimpse into your 20-something life. 🤗💫💞
Thank you for popping by and for reading my story, beautiful Charlotte!! Have a magical musical Sunday! 🥰✨❤️🎶

I love you, my beautiful friend, for being so willing to do this...it's an honour and joy to grow up alongside of you. xo

Wow, you have known what is going on for so long.
I feel like a dolt.

Ha!! Your drift has been caught! 😉
Musically, this might be my favorite of yours. Hard to pick!
Wow! Thank you so much for that, Christopher!! 🙏

Wow. Conceptually and artistically!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and listen. ✨
I want to give you another song of light and love to soothe your heartache, Michael. Music is medicine, after all. ✨
