It was part of every day
Songs of the time
Blaring out
A first turntable
45’s gifted
Buddy Holly Raving On.
My words shaped to music
Several plays called ‘musicals’.
Melodies some borrowed
Most original
Captivated me.
Year long lasting memories
All so Charming.
Now its iPods packed with thousands of songs
Artists with one hit wonders
Long time favourites
Endlessly playing
Filling my mornings late evenings
Music to sleep to
Music to awaken to.
It follows me
I lust for the sounds
In every location
Any time
Driving music
Thumping beats
Rhythms, syncopating,
Such exciting artists
In so many genres
My senses awake to new music
Craving each week’s musical offerings.

I wish I could write to music. Sadly, my brain insists that music is for listening to and enjoying all on its own. There was only one time I was able to write to music and a that was in a lesson during a writing course at TAFE. Maybe I should try it again 🙂
Give it a go Lyn never know where it might lead you.
love love love this, Michael! music of all genres have their place in our lives and isnt`it wonderful that at our age, we are still open to more genres. 😀
Most definitely Oliana. I love the range of music I have to listen to.
I have a feeling you might enjoy the post I am writing…I’ve combined 2 Carpe Diem prompts…should be up after a few polishing:)
Will look for it.
i def like those that are creative with their music…right now i am on a Jack white 3 kick cause he is always reinventing his rock-jazz style and every song sounds so different…music follows me…def jam out in the car…and when my co-worker and i are on planning period we turn it up in the office…ha
Music does help in so many situations, crank it up I say.
one hit wonders are all the rage in this day and age…. music certainly does follow me; I’m rolling to the tunes of Keyshia Cole, Young Thug and some Pointer Sisters, currently…
Thanks Anthony I think we go through phases of musical interest, a year from now we will have found a bunch of new music and musicians.
That’s a lot of music to listen to, morning till night ~ But I agree on the genres, its all mix and match nowadays ~ I am glad you are open to new music ~
Always looking for new music Grace, thanks for visiting.
Yup–I am an all genres girl too! Loved 45s!
45’s betray our age doesn’t it. Thanks Audrey.
we do live in an age where almost any music is at our fingertips. Good thing it isn’t fattening!
Yes it would add another dimension to the obesity problem. Thanks for your comment Bill.
My first records were 45s too. I felt as if I acquired a treasure when I bought one. Now I have my favorite songs on my iPhone and must say I enjoy having them wherever I go.
Me too. I never cease to be amazed by how many songs I can fit into my iPod.
Most definitely I listen to music – always surrounded by its beat. I have access to million of songs through streaming – but that feeling of unwrapping a new record of your own was something different.
Thanks Bjorn we live in a wonderful age where so much music is available to us so easily.
Ah you had me with this one, hook line and drum roll. Music makes the world go around as much as love. I’m often swaying and tapping the steering wheel when I drive, though I do get strange looks. Excellent my friend.
Thank you Jenny. Appreciate your comment, we are a lot of boppers aren’t we.
Comes with the territory lol
it’s music all the time..beautiful
Thank you arathi, it certainly is.
iPods.. iPads.. iPHones.. Youtube.. Google.. are all evidence of the TRUE POWER of the Heaven of now….
Only a child’s dream of mine.. where music IS too expensive… to sample all of IT.. and answers are too hard to find.. in card catalogs of abridged knowledge.. in the morals of my fundamentalist town…
The child’s dream has now come true..
Truly HEAVEN IS NOW!
AND i once again..
AM CHILD!..:)
AND WE ALL CREATED IT TOGETHER…
for those who knowNOW
how to TRULY LIVE tHere!
Thank you so much, glad my words generate such thoughts in you.
There is a clear contrast what music used to be and what it is today – you build that nicely and then still even in modern music there are elements that we yearn for – lovely piece.
Technology has changed so much for the industry, but in the end the sound, the lyrics that resonate…it still inspires and moves us. I love discovering new artists off the beaten path.
Yes i agree, new artists pop up from unlikely places. Thanks for the comment.
