Wild hearts can’t be broken

I know this is unfair.  I haven’t posted in a million days and when I do, it’s another song from P!NK.  Well what can I say, this lady can sing and her ballads are among the best out there.  Her words pours directly out of her soul and her voice elevates normal notes to something that belongs in a different dimension.

So in honour of my return to this blog, let’s celebrate with WILD HEARTS CAN’T BE BROKEN by the greatest artist working at the moment.

And if this video doesn’t stir something in your soul it’s only because you don’t have one.

Be inspired.

Beautiful trauma

P!NK finally released new music!! And it was worth the wait.

According to my kids my taste in music is merely a selection of 80’s music and P!nk. But we know that’s not true…Or is it?

Anyhow, I will repost a better version of BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA, as soon as it is available.  This “dance” version is just plain weird.

Rain

I love THE SCRIPT and this is why I’m posting their new song, RAIN.

It’s awesome and that’s about it for today.

What about us

I’ve edited this post to include the video that was released today.  I wonder what the reaction is going to be on this video…let’s just say it’s thought provoking.

It’s been a long time coming. Five years and counting. But the night is drawing to a close. Dawn is breaking on 13 October 2017 when the always awesome P!NK drops her new album called, Beautiful Trauma.  I simply. Cannot. Wait. Any longer.

It’s a follow up of her 2012 critically acclaimed album, The truth about love.  What’s remarkable is that this is only her seventh album, even though her library of songs will put most other artists to shame.

Like most of her previous songs, WHAT ABOUT US, which dropped today, this one also sounds to be like an anthem of note.  And who can blame her, a lot of things has changed in five years…

Let’s welcome her back with a great song!

Iridescent

I couldn’t help myself… Here is another awesome track from the late Chester Bennington.

IRIDESCENT by LINKIN PARK

Where is the love?

This blog is becoming a musical version of Facebook.  A little too much inspiration?  Or maybe not.  Maybe we need all the inspiration we can get.

It’s official, I’m behind on things, partly due to my age and partly due to the fact that I’m a grown up with responsibilities.  Whatever the reason, I missed the re-release of the hit song WHERE IS THE LOVE? from the THE BLACK EYES PEAS in 2016.  It features a whole new arrangement and an even bigger array of guest artists.

I’m surprised it didn’t receive more widespread attention because this version sounds better than the original.  Go ahead, listen and feel inspired.

Would this be considered a cover?

Rise up

We are surrounded with inspiration every day, we just need to open our eyes to see it.  People who do amazing things against the odds.  People who live and breathe and get up every morning despite the difficulty of doing so.

We don’t have any excuses.  Life does bitch slap you every so often and I would be the first to admit that things doesn’t always go your way but the choice to get up and rise above your situation is yours.  Unfortunately no-one can get up for you, that is all you. They can provide support and a whole lot of encouragement but in the end the “standing and facing life” part is all up to you.

And it’s not easy.  It takes courage.  And commitment.  And an endless source of positive energy.  But IT IS POSSIBLE.  I was floored by this amazing anthem last night about the pure, brutal determination of the human spirit.  How we as humans have an ability to defy the odds, to get up again.  And again.  And again.  A thousand times.

If you’re fortunate to be standing today, find someone who needs a little help.  A little encouragement.  A little love to rise up as well.  And give it to them.  I hope ANDRA DAY singing RISE UP  will be the inspiration you need to find that someone today.
