I realized something a few weeks ago. I'd somehow managed to almost banish music from my day-to-day world. Music- once the most important connection I had to my inner self. I sang. I wrote songs. I always had a song in my head, if not on my stereo.
If I needed to know what I was really worrying about, or celebrating, or needing, I had only to stop and focus in on the tune I'd been humming mindlessly. It was always the key to my unconscious.
Somehow I'd let it go and quit listening.
I couldn't figure out why my creativity wasn't flowing. I use music as a way to relax my mind. If I'm filling my head with worries and to-do lists, how can I expect to invent new stories?
Lucky Pennies sent me a thank you for wishing her a happy birthday. In her note she said she'd read my profile and thought I had good taste in music. That was my big wake up call.
It was time to update and plug in the new i-Pod.
Here's a bit of what I've been listening to-
Steve Earle and Allison Moorer- Days Aren't Long Enough
Foy Vance- Be With Me
Jesus Jackson- Running on Sunshine
Front Porch String Band- Hearts Against the Wind
Crowded House-Better Be Home Soon
Kasey Chambers- On a Bad Day
Patty Griffin- Heavenly Day
Brandi Carlisle- Josephine
Kelly Willis- Don't Come the Cowboy With Me
Grey Eye Glances- One Day Soon
