“Because, You Are My Song…”

Music is a powerful part of our lives.  We have favorite songs, and most of us like songs, and have songs from all kinds of music on our playlists.  Music is our daily go to, but sometimes we use music for different reasons.  Yes, as much as we all “love” music, we “use” it as well.  Much of it depends how our lives are going at a certain moment, or how we are feeling that day.

When hurting, our tendency is to turn to songs that go where we land on those dimmer days.  When we are in a party mood, we go that way, and so on.  But there are also songs that speak to you in any moment, in any setting, any day.  Those songs that were in essence, written especially for you.  And no matter what is going on with your mood or in your world that day, to the yay or nay, you pause.  Invariably, it has to do with another person who is special and resides in your heart.  It’s about that someone who is walking through the world with you still.  It’s “your song.” 

You know the one I’m talking about.  The one that vibrates deep and messages that part of your brain that was sleeping seconds ago.  The one that makes you blank stare out a window, or awakens a powerful vision, the one that smooths out your heartbeat –  instantly.  That happens because I feel “that” person lives within that song somehow.  They breathe in it, stride through it, and their heart supplies the beat for it, and it’s all seemingly   –  for only you.   Because magically, somehow it is.  That’s how deep a song can go, because it’s “your” song.  And even more than that, it’s because of who they are.  They are your song….

 They even write songs about this subject.......

New movies out this week!


Toy Story 4

Well this is certainly NOT going to be a flop. This is going to be a gigantic hit, and seemingly everyone is excited to see this.  This franchise has an incredible universal appeal.  Everyone had, or has toys.  Everyone relates, and everyone loves the main characters.

 

There are some new characters here, and enough time has passed to make this fresh yet again.

 

Anna

If you watch this trailer, it may may become painfully clear to you, that you have seen this movie 100 times before in one way shape or form.

 

This will get lost in the shuffle.

 

Child's Play

Chucky  -   These kind of slasher movies always seem to find a nice opening weekend, and then comes the huge exhale.

 

The wave will come in, and then go out.....way out....

Music is life. That's why our hearts have beats. 

One of my favorite ad campaigns in the last decade or two had to be the "Real Men of Genius" ads from Bud Light... you remember, rousing ballads about stuff like the guy who invented a cooler on wheels, and others.  Well, To bring things into modern times and give the ads a fresh coat of paint, they've released 7 new ads on their Youtube Channel about "Internet Heroes of Genius", and some of them are pretty dang funny.  Just like the originals, you have the 'Big Voice' narrator telling you about the 'Hero', but the highlights to me have always been the raspy voiced singer that highlights the often overlooked, but obvious absurdity of said 'heroes'.  You can check them all out HERE

Country newcomer, Ingrid Andress, has released a new song inspired by real life memories with her family called "More Hearts Like Mine". She co-wrote the song alongside songwriters Sam Ellis and Derrick Southerland. What do you think about this new song? 

I haven't had a milkshake since...gosh, I can't even remember! I know it's been years, maybe even a decade or more since I had one. But today, for whatever reason, as I was standing in a local Arby's restaurant looking at the menu board, I spotted the Jamocha shake...and it sounded good. I figured it would come in a regular soft drink cup, flat plastic lid and a straw, just like I remember from 25 plus years ago. I was quickly reminded that "today's" milkshakes have a lot more going on. Everywhere you get one, it's: Triple thick, whipped cream topping, fudge drizzle, maybe some sprinkles and a cherry on top. Don't forget not only a straw, but you better get a spoon with that too. And I hope you don't feel like drinking it for about 30 minutes so it can melt into some sort of liquid consistancy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Just pointing out how things have changed. Because I ordered one...and man was it good! ;)

Social Media has made it fun to look back on Throwback Thursdays and see how we used to be.  It's maybe run its best race, but I think it is cool at times to look back and see a different version of ourselves.   And for some of us, as far back to when the earth was cooling.....

 

Studios Have Changed In 38 Years!

The changes in me, and my career have been many, and as I look back, it seems that was not me, but it was. And in essence, still is.

 

Seems Like Someone Else....Again Older Studio 1987

Because one of the best ways to learn why things are the way they are......is to remember why they were, the way they were.
