I listen to music from the time i wake up. I remember listening to the falling rain, and many many others of that era. I was born in 1951.
someone said to me the other day dont you get bored just being in your bungalow on your own all day. I have a large 8foot wide patio window which looks out onto two flowering cherries which have been kind of turned into large bonsai trees lol. Every day i have lots of birds come to see me to be fed. I have pigeons and starlings, tits, magpies the list is endless, and yes the rain, and the wind. I love the sound of the wind against the trees.
there is so much to do i a day. by the time i have sorted my dog out, got my self washed and dressed and breakfast i am pooped so rest then its play time for doglet and lunch. I always seem to have deliveries. some days i pray for rest lol.
BUT my music is on every day all day. Music soothes the savage breast.
I wrote this ages ago on my blog never published it.
I very much agree. Listening to the birds sing in Spring is like balm for the soul. There are loads of birdsong recordings on youtube, and I often have one playing in the background the rest of the year.
Since getting MS, I’m much more of these small moments of beauty that I never noticed before. The way the light sparkles on water being poured or coming out of the shower; the flowering of plants coming through cracks in the pavement; the shapes of shadows being cast on the wall; spotting shapes in the clouds (an elephant with the head of a shrew; a leaping dolphin; a ski-jumping rabbit…)
it was original i just checked it didnt copy over. It was from The Mourning Bride a poem by William Congreve, 1697:
I found it a long time ago when looking for something else and it always touched me.
Yes without music i would be lost to be honest. It has always brought out a lot of memories for me. Living in germany as a young bride of 20 having to cope on my own whilst my army husband was on exercise learning to listen to music and having friends who were the same. we would hold impromptu folk nights, heavy rock and others in the evening and just chill out and talk. I went to see Jethro Tull and Yes whilst i was there 2 greats. Tull was just amazing.
yes music has always been there for my. Have you sat down and listen to The War of the Worlds Jeff Wayne just outstanding. Forever Autumn - YouTube
Tommy the Who, the list is endless. such great stuff you can just escape i dont need a T.V. i dont have one in my sitting room only a small one in my bedroom to watch youtube lol.
the youth today have missed so much great music. x
