Sing a song

 

 Asking yourself a summer sonG

Ninety-four  point  seven percent  of the time this blog encourages. Folks to stay in the presale their moment.   Not today...   You see given the circumstantial  variability (how do you like that. Term that means  bloody craziness) of this year the summer. Has tumbled. By and for most people life has been out of rhythm  for months now.  It doesn’t seem like any  big song has emerged as the 2020  summer hit...now I don’t listen to  a ton of commercial radio so some might argue about that, however, if there has been a super hit  I haven’t heard it enough to get sick of it and that’s how I gauge things.   

So... if there;s not  a candidate for this strange year...I’m saying  go back to a different year and  select some of your favorites.  You see seeking peace and joy is linked to the narratives a we  tell ourselves es and  lo and behold these narratives  tend to be more joyful when we attach a soundtrack that makes us smil

Having said that  let’s try something together... 

Think of  the tasks you have  to do in thenext few hours and build your “summer hits  soundtrack  that you can hum...sing.. or whistle... remember that we don’t sing  because we are happy or joyful we are happy because we sing....

Here’s  mine—

My Walk—Shambal.a— from Three Dog Night

Washing my long hair again... Well. Of Course Hair by the Cowsils from the musical... give me it. Down to there—

Writing this blog and putting together  other social media for today—Takin

 Care ofBusiness and Shiny Happy People. BTO and REM

Talking to my brother who is  trying to take care of my folks.  Has to be  Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen

 And I could go on and on with the soundtrack for this and other days... 

If you  need some  other songs that have  lit up my summers... don’t try Light  Up My Life by Debbie  Boone—instead maybe go with ride like the wind by  Christopher Cross Takin it to the Streets  or Oh’ BlackWater by the Doobies not to. Mention about a million more like Uncle Kracker  Smile... or Dave Mathews Band Mercy or ...well  it’s your turn...create your soundtrack and  use the songs to help you  through the sticky pars of the early week.   

Oh and one last suggestion  remember. You can’t always get what you w2ant...but  there is something to. (Jason Moran) Living in the Moment...

Don’t leave the planet with your. Best song still in you... so sing.  Sing a song and don’t worry if not good enough for anyone else to hear.
