What’s a song that describes how you feel today? | December 12, 2024

For me it’s “Like a bridge over troubled water…”

(I know. It’s not a song. But, it’s the words to a song.)

Songs, words — they speak to and from the heart.

Telling one person — or the world — what makes you think.

And how you think.

What about you?

    By title, it’s “Best Day of My Life”. Yesterday I celebrated 24 years since my surgery and these are the best words to describe that day.

    My song is by Bon Jovi (I’m from the big hair era) but this is a recent song I found on YouTube that’s never been released. So is called “I Ain’t Done Yet”…..be fighting the good fight for 10 yrs and had a right temporal loabetomy Nov ’22… but had a major complication….also had a stroke. My left arm and leg were pretty messed up…..but “I Ain’t Done Yet”. Good song. Even if you’re not a Bon Jovi fan, listen to the lyrics.

    Bless us all👍

    As a former player in a rock band (very former indeed), I think it’s the words AND music that break through to another’s soul. Music is not quite as low-level as smell, but it’s certainly something that a baby responds to before her or she can speak. The music is like the hypodermic needle and the words are the medicine — the payload of meaning that the music delivers. Yes, there are time-deaf people, but even they can respond to music, and when the words are very meaningful and suited to the music, they can elicit peals of laughter or bring on the waterworks. Think of “Yesterday,” a song that Paul McCartney has related to the loss of his mother to cancer when he was only 14. The verses would seem rather dull without the beautiful music, but together, oh, do they deliver!

Together, we can make a huge difference. If not changing the world, at least helping each other, with wisdom, compassion and sharing.
