What's in a Song
Thoughts and meditations about
the songs of - Finding MySelf HERE © 2005
Why's the Sky
Many of us had similar experiences as children growing up. We all heard the
same phrases and cliché’s or as Mom put it “wives tales”.
One phrase that always stuck in my mind was “The sky’s the limit”.
I came of age in a household that repeated positive statements yet perpetuated
negative behavior. Why’s the Sky came from many elements of this turbulent
upbringing.
Airplanes are a creation of man to help him achieve what animals do naturally.
I was destined to become a songwriter/performer/entertainer. I write it, sing
it, praise it and embrace it. This is my way of getting past the garbage that
was not taken out long ago.
Best 4 Me
I consider myself to be a person with devotion to a higher power or for lack of a better word, “God”. Sometimes in our lives we are hit by a spiritual wave and I believe that this song was written with divine intervention. The life I lead being a musician can at times be a problem and I have a hard time letting go and surrendering. Not sure how to get over that hump just yet. Most of my career has been a mix of following my head and my heart. Life inspires me in between all the mind boggling thought processes. I know there is a God,he inspires me and yes, he knows what’s best for me!
Back against the wall
Well, what can I say about this one?
I’ve had the honor and pleasure of performing in more than a few bars,
venues and festivals. Learning how to cope was the greatest challenge of all
when I was green to the distractions as well as the joys of live performance.
I’ve seen so many people sit and wonder and I myself sometimes look back
on dismal days and ask…what if?
I’ve watched thousands of people in different places and wondered…will
that person like what I have to offer in a song?
I’ve put myself in a position to be seen, heard and looked upon. Some
choices we make in life put our backs against the wall, be it habits, lifestyles,
people we surround ourselves with or the sorrow we create. My perception admits
or denies what is ahead of me and it all comes down to the way we (I) feel,
although only my actions matter. Performing live can make me numb without drugs,
sometimes I feel as if my backs against the wall. I want the music to take me
away.
