Lifetime Pain

AnthonyLeave a comment

All in my mind

All you need is love

Love is a drug

Love me do

Do you feel like I do

Do you wanna dance

Dancing in the streets

Dance in my blood

Blood on the ground

Blood, sweat, and tears

Tears of a clown

Tears of joy

Joy Division

Joy To the World

World without love

World in my eyes

Eye of the tiger

Eyes of a child

Children of the moon

Child of time

Time is on my side

Time of the season

Season cycle

Season of the witch

Witch craft

Witchy Woman

Woman to woman

Woman like me

Me and Julio down by the school yard

Me myself and I

I don’t want to spoil the party

I am one

One is the loneliest number

One step closer

Closer to God

Closer to the heart

Heart breaker

Heart of glass

Glass onion

Glass houses

Houses of the holy

House of the rising sun

Sunshine of your love

Sun king 44

King for a day fool for a lifetime

King of pain

Lifetime…

Pain…

Dance!!!

Dance fast, he said

And so we did

Wear off shoes tread 

Do our best bid.

–

Fast music plays

Many good tunes

All night and day

From sun to moons.

–

Partners or friends

Dancing goes on

Music just ends 

Until, next song.

–

An endless beat

Deepening grove

Nothing repeats 

As we all move.

–

Requests are in

DJ’s in charge

We all will win 

All living large.

–

Last call arrives

To our sorrow 

We leave and drive

Work, tomorrow…

Saturday Random Contemplations

Anthony14 Comments

In this consciousness we call life,

we have all been baptized in fire of adversity.

How we come out the other side is all that matters.

No need to dwell on the terrible things that happened, those just tested our mettle.

Try to remember that, when you’re overthinking like I do.

Find a peaceful way to integrate your past as a part of your life and series of lessons.

Some light and simple others quite cathartic.

Be present, be now, enjoy what’s in front of you.

Not what’s behind you or ahead of you…

Music, Life’s Boon 

Anthony2 Comments

Songs will sing

Hope they bring

Lessens stings.

–

Music soothes

Life behooves

Feeling grooves.

–

Beats will fall 

Touching all 

Standing tall.

–

Sonic sound

Always around

Lost and found.

–

Steps and twists

Shaking wrists 

Late night trysts.

–

Playlists built 

To the hilt 

Nothing spilt.

–

Journeys fun 

Or a run 

In the sun.

–

Music wills

Life instills 

Bitter pills.

–

Negate hurts 

In efforts

Like desserts.

–

Play your tunes

They’re your boons

When consumed…

Some Songs Say it All

Originally Published 04/26/2024

Anyone who knows me well, understands that music is a part of my vocabulary in a way. It allows me to apply my pallet of preference to encapsulate volumes of information without the need for explanation as the music provides that.

The powerful imagery that can fill us when we hear a certain song, the flood of memories from sight, to, touch, to sound. Or a song may capture an idea very personal to us, better than we could ever say in our own words.

As is the trend after I experience live music I start to listen to the discography of that artist for a while. Needless to say, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to Billy Joel. A lesser known track of his is one of my favorites.

Where’s The Orchestra, (The closing track on side 2) expresses to me a perfect analogy for being, out of place. Unique, different, somewhat misaligned with status quo. This is truly a beautiful soft anthem to the misunderstood. The reprise of the song “Allentown” on the clarinet at the very end, offers a gentle reminder to the opening track. Enjoy 😉 ❤️❤️🎵🎶🎼

17 Seconds Quite An Interesting Tune

Anthony5 Comments

From the stellar anime series Cowboy Bebop which tops most lists and its music is phenomenal I share the song 17 Minutes.

This song comes from the soundtrack from the 2001 movie sharing good company with other great music.

It blends techno, rock, jazz, and even some fascinating chorale moments.

Yoko Kanno composes many or most songs and the house-band of the show Seatbelts performs. Enjoy…

The notes I play

Say what I say

Every day

Music in songs.

–

The tunes I hear

Dispel my fears

Erase my tears

Where I belong.

–

Love many styles

Music for miles

Or in store aisles

Songs, short or long.

–

Reduce my stress

When life’s a mess

Music’s the best

Keeping me strong.

–

Lyrics that touch

Gives me a crutch

When hurts too much

It’s never wrong.

–

Many playlists

Very long lists

And songs with twists

I never yawn.

–

Since, in the end

Music, my friend

A gift that mends

Before we’re gone…

Take That Walk!

Talk a walk

All alone

Spend the time

Lose your phone.

Go be free

Get outside

Stretch your arms

Let them glide.

Music plays

Stress be gone

Hum your songs

You’re a swan.

Love yourself

Very much

Continue on

Move a bunch.

See the trees

Smell the grass

See fleeting

Moments pass.

Here’s the one

Favorite song

Press repeat

You belong.

Nature thins

Back to life

The city

And its strife.

Head back home

Walked, three miles

Proud, yourself

Many smiles.

Remove shoes

Take off socks

My feet hurt

Like sharp rocks.

Back to work

Write things out

You know what

It’s about…

Pickle Rocket Ships Gag Me With Asparagus

Anthony3 Comments

A pickle orders some ice cream.

As the taffeta contours of her dress sway, softly away in the breeze.

The shear sharpness of the lunar surface, gave the astronauts trepidation, as they exited their rocket ship.

Go incognito to a movie theater filled with no one you know.

Hum a mantra of four bars or less.

Asparagus gags me…

Music Is All

Sing me a song

You won’t be wrong

I’ll sing along

Music is all.

Play me a beat

Stomp with your feet

Now it’s complete

Hear music’s call.

Don’t have a tiff

Play out that riff

That is your gift

Don’t hit a wall.

Slap me that bass

Smile on your face

Do so with grace

In the dance hall.

–

Drum out a fill

Cannot stand still

It’s such a thrill

Music, is all…
