Week 9

Summer of Music 2022 Finale

While gathering these videos I came across one of Eva's.

I had not heard of her before but after a couple of minutes

I was hooked. 

Have a listen.

She left  many beautiful songs for us to enjoy after her passing from cancer at a young age.

Her talent was a beautiful Gift to us and I hope if this is the first time hearing her music, you will check out more of her songs.  

Her voice, guitar and unique arrangement fill the soul.

If you have tears you are not alone. 

I've been reading some of the comments on line and many others loved her music as well. 

Let's share and carry it into the future. 

 This ends our 2022 summer of music but if you've been here 

before, you'll know music is never very far away.

I hope you had a great summer or other season depending where in this beautiful world you live.

Week 8 of 9.

today we off to the Movies!

What are some of the movie scenes You remember

Ones that stood out that you remembered years later for the acting, story, music or ...

Sorry - I don't do scary, violence or too sad movies so I won't be writing about them.

This one came to mind for something different from all the songs so far this year. 

Love to watch this scene and there're many great reviews.

I didn't remember all the line but loved it when she said she was afraid to make a mistake he said to "just tango on." 

That's probably what a lot of us have been doing these past few years.

Do your best and just tango on.

Week 7

Beautiful words to share this week.

Hi,  I hope all is well for You today. I found this inspiring song and immediately saved it for our Summer of Music posts. 

I thought the words were important for us to see, hear and feel when we're frustrated, stressed worried or sad so I've shared just some of the song below so we can start to say them when you need to, like a mantra or in meditation.

The video is wonderful. 

In listening, I felt like her voice was coming from a soft cloud overhead and the added voices of the choir brought all those feelings deep inside to build up courage and strength to be able to catch that light, to open up and let go of what you need to. 

Let's open those doors, windows and let the light in.

Have a listen and see which lines you connect to.

      

As I said above, this is just a few of the lines ...

"I am not the things my family did

I am not the voices in my head

I am light

I'm not the mistakes that I have made

Or any of the things that caused me pain

I am light

I am not my age

I am not my race, my soul inside is all light 

I am light"

PS. I don't know if I had heard this song before but I checked it out when I saw the title. 

Finding a mix of music this year has been really interesting and I hope you're enjoying the selections so far.

Week 6

Ok,  yes I was up cheering her on ...

Glad I didn't break anything.

Have a listen!

I'm lucky I have my office/computer room to myself upstairs that 

allows me to get my crazy dance on every once in a while.

I think I was boxing or something like that, anyway glad no one 

could see other than my support team who were asleep.

 

Were You up cheering too?

Susan Boyle - I Dreamed a Dream (Audio)

Today we have 
Susan Boyle.

and the beautiful song from Les Misérables 

I Dreamed a Dream.

Dona Anderson

Summer of Music

Week 5.

As children we had many dreams, some lasted a day or maybe till tomorrow. 

As little ones we often were asked what do we wanted to be when we grow up. 

When I was young the world didn't change much over the years but now things change so fast. Some good and some not.

Many dreams are attainable now with doors opening, new technology, for those being older, women working, support and opportunities for disabilities and much more. 

This song is healing and allows us all to Dream while knowing things can change and sometimes that offers another dream that's the one right for You. 

 

PS. what are/were your dreams? 

What are the ones you still have for the future.

Some people go back to college at an older age, some as they age finally have the time to start a new career, one they wanted to do, or finally have the time to go fishing or travel. 

Some want to garden, learn new skills like in the arts or theater, play an instrument, or maybe for you it's to volunteer, write songs or children's books. 

They can be everyday things - dreams let you do what you want to do or never even thought of that you enjoy & love where time flies by and doesn't feel like work.

Listening to Susan sing this song so beautifully and then go on with her career gave us all the opportunity to Dream again.

Thanks for your visit today and 

it's week 6 already next Tuesday.

Love it when you share with others at the links below so we continue to travel around the world. (my Dream)
