Music to Soothe the Soul

 

after a tiring day following an even more tiring night where i was called to see how “at my wits end” i am with certain things….i was in deep need of something to soothe this soul and heart.  1950’s country music is doing it.  i am brought back to my childhood days visiting my grandparents in the sleepy little town of walla walla.  it’s summer.  the lights inside are low. front door is open, screen door keeping the mosquitoes outside.  outside an occasional car slowly drives down the dirt lane…often with just their parking light on as to not disturb the handful of homes that resided on the street.  my grandma and grampy, each of them sitting in their own chair, grandma in the rocker, grampy in his recliner…both of them as well enjoying the silence of the warm summer evening.  the heat of the day still lingering in the fading twilight…the smell of their lilac tree finding its place in the warm evening breeze, wafting through the house.  and on their stereo, classic country music.

aaahhh……put on music from this era and my soul just SIGHS.

put on music from this era and i can sing many of these tunes by heart.  i never told anyone how much i loved these songs they played.  older cousins, visiting at the house as well, would roll their eyes at one another at times while i sat in silent secrecy – letting the music gently rock me in a quiet meditative state – enjoying every juicy, wonderful moment.

i long for the innocence of those moments.  i long for the emotional depth that pours through these songs.  i long to sway to this music in some small dive bar with wooden tables and wooden floors….wearing one of those mini jean skirts, cowgirl boots, tank top with a vest over it and of course the cowgirl hat.  call me an old fashioned silly girl – but there is just something in these songs that – unlike any other genre or era – just DO it for me.

if you feel so called, here’s the link to what i’m listening to.

The Vision Alignment Project:   A Vision for the Heartbeat of Humanity

The Vision Alignment Project

A Vision for the Heartbeat of Humanity

Here is an amazing Vision that comes to you from Johnny Glaze. We intend that you like it as much as we do.

I believe music has been and always will be the connecting dots to the other side, to the heavens, to the demarcations of our nature. I believe that the beat of the drum came before the sounds of man’s vocal cords. I believe there is a vital connection to the heartbeat of every creature with the drum beat of a skilled craftsman. The connection of a skin taken from a heart beat and placed on a drum and pulled tight creates the heartbeat that once was. That once was beating by nature is beating by the harmony of man.

I hear the songs of the birds, the rapture of the night creatures in the spring, the orchestra of dogs in the backyards of life chanting with one another. I hear the chimes of the cogs and sprockets in the industry world, the sounds of the subway rippling it’s tune, the dance of the washing machine, and it all comes back to the beat of man. This tune is akin to the heartbeat set by man or beast way before other types of communication prevailed.

Today it is essential to feel the heartbeat and play the music, no matter your liking, and feel, really feel, the communication that you are offing in your sound. The sound of your life is telling of the nature you abound. Become closer to the heartbeat and come closer to the heaven on earth. Turn off the news, turn off the reality tv, and play your music. Dance like no one is watching – even if they are.

A couple more pieces of my muzac

 

i kinda impressed myself with these as i hadn’t played these pieces in a year – the two below in years.  it is like riding a bike – once it’s “locked” within – the mind – the body – the Soul even – remembers.  it helped having the house to myself and the sun shining – people walking by the front window, looking within to see where the music was coming from.  i love playing for others now after decades of insecurity.  happy holiday season to you all.  much peace.  [wp-svg-icons icon=”heart-2″ wrap=”i”]

Diane Schuur ~ I Wanna Go Home

 

editor’s note:  a song very present in my heart right now.  oh wow, is it all but crushing me.  allowing it in and out.  i picked up this CD of hers in the early 90’s.  yeah while all of my friends were listening to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, i was really into this kind of music.  still am.  i’ve always been “older” than my peers in this regard.  my goddess ~ her voice ~ AMAZING!  enjoy the smooth, emotionally charged voice of Miss D.  LOVE the sax solo too.  oooh what smooth jazz does to my Soul.  in a parallel realm ~ perhaps the next one over ~ i am a jazz singer.  no joke.  [wp-svg-icons icon=”cool” wrap=”i”]
