Acoustic Soul!

 Dear readers:

I asked my dear friend, Tatiana Anderson, to write a guest blog about music. Here are her thoughts:

 I am one for live music. I grew up having to listen to smooth jazz on a daily basis. Music is such a big part of everyone’s lives whether it’s listening to the beat, lyrics, or just the sound of the music itself. I came across this video from amazing guitarist:

This video just has me sit back and just daydream of good times! The one memory that I have is when my best friend Jenny and I went to a place called the Rhythm Room and just danced our night away to live blues music. As I get older my taste in music has been getting more mature. Hopefully after listening to this song you will see what I mean by that statement.

Paloma Faith - New York

 My daughter Abi found this today, neither of us had ever heard of her, but I am already in love:



Her name is Paloma Faith, isn`t she bad ass:

Dixie Chicks – Not Ready To Make Nice

This pretty much says it all for me right now:

 

Dixie Chicks – Not Ready To Make Nice

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

What it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Imagine - John Lennon

 I`ve heard this so a million times before, but the lyrics never hit me until today. Pandora served up the Jack Johnson version and as he sang out "... Nothing to kill or die for..." I realized this song represents everything I stand for....

Here are the lyrics to Imagine by John Lennon: 

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Here`s the Lennon video from YouTube: 




Here`s a Jack Johnson video of Imagine:

No Ordinary Love Lyrics - Sade

No Ordinary Love

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love

Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby

I keep crying
I keep crying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love

When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
