The Gift of Music

From Me to Thee

"The Gift of Music" can mean different things to different people. It could refer to the joy of creating or listening to music, the emotional impact it has on individuals, or even the cultural significance of music in society.

For some, music is a means of expression, allowing them to convey their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that words alone cannot. It serves as a form of therapy, offering solace during difficult times and amplifying moments of joy.

Music also has the power to connect people across cultures and generations. It serves as a universal language, capable of bridging divides and fostering understanding between individuals from diverse backgrounds.

As a gift, music has the ability to inspire, uplift, and transform lives. Whether it's a song that brings back cherished memories, a melody that stirs the soul, or a performance that leaves a lasting impression, the gift of music has a profound impact on both the giver and the receiver.

Carry On My Wayward Son

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season

Dust In The Wind

close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see (ah, ah, ah)

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, oh, oh

Now, don't hang on
Nothin' last forever, but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind (all we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
In the wind

On The Other Side

The empty page before me now, the pen is in my hand
The words don't come so easy but I'm trying
I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line
They can slip away from us so quickly
Don't be unkind I'm not complaining
I only feel it needs explaining

And though I've said it all before I'll say it once again
Everyone needs something to believe in
So turn around, turn around it's on the other side
Feel the sound, feel the sound, it's coming from deep inside
It will fill you with emotion, if you let it be your guide
So turn around, turn around, it's on the other side

I'm waiting for the day to end another to begin
Somehow I've forgotten what it stood for
I look into your face and see the searching in your eyes
I will be your servant till the end
The music plays and for a moment I feel
That all these days are so fulfilling

Desperation shows its ugly face in many ways
No one can escape the times we live in
The answers are so simple and we all know where to look
But it's easier just to avoid the question
And if I seem too inconclusive
It's just because it's so elusive

Robin Trower

Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge in Venice, Italy. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antonio Contino, whose uncle Antonio da Ponte designed the Rialto Bridge, and it was built in 1600.

The Gospel of Bondage' by Bruce Cockburn

Sometimes you can hear the spirit whispering to you But if God stays silent, what else can you do? Except listen to the silence, if you ever did, you'd surely see That God won't be reduced to an ideology
