It’s February 18th, 2024; Here’s an original song that Richard Murrey wrote after he’d retired and I was still going to an office for work each day. As I played this again today, I asked him, are we together too much? I began working from home in 2017 and he got called back to work for a couple of years (2018-2020). So, we had periods where he was home all day without me, and I was home all day without him.

Icky sweet?

Here’s the forty-ninth new music post for 2024, as I practice consistency in the sharing of our original songs–one each day. Is spending too much time together icky sweet?

We’ve agreed that we never get too much together time. And that’s sweet. The sweetest thing! We each work on our own stuff though, so it’s not like we’re holding hands all day. We do both complete each other’s sentences though. And when we’re watching The Why Files, Ancient Aliens, or America Unearthed (and the like), we often go, “Huh!” at the same time–which cracks us up. We often slightly elbow each other in those moments.

Pieces together

As you know though, I love putting pieces together and integrating stuff. For example, I am always taking parts and pieces of information I come across, or that come my way, and looking to see how I can integrate it into whatever I’m doing, or writing about. And sometimes I do have to work at it–other times it comes easy–the whole of it just falls into place. I love it when a plan comes together.

Words of completion (and healing?)

Speaking of pieces and phrases (as in the song when the singer sings, “You complete me.” I often glimpse the wholeness or completeness of a thing (such as a picture, journey, or life) when I read a poem (like the one I reblogged earlier today from Gray Summers). If I never get to Wales, it will be okay, because I now feel I know someone there. It’s almost as if Gray and his wife are living another version of our lives. And as fellow blogger, Debra, of Jaguar Spirit says at the end of her blog posts, “I am another you.” Oh! That’s why I love sitting with the Kaleidoscope. I feel the truth of my soul at these times.

What pieces have you put together? Did the images or words touch you deeply? Did you feel the completion was soul-deep?

I added a couple more favorite songs to my playlist today that I feel run soul-deep for me. Like, if I died today, my family could play all of the songs on my playlist and “get me.”

Oh, I don’t mean to be morbid (Richard tells me he thinks I ponder death too much), but I’ve never been one to fear death (while watching one of our favorite vloggers yesterday–Bald and Bankrupt: https://www.youtube.com/c/baldandbankrupt), the “everyone fears death” subject came up–thus, here I am sitting with that.

  1. Song was very positive. How even the smallest or the longest of time spent with each other can always be quality time. Great vibe. Reminded me of both my current situation now I have retired (Angie still very much working) and my Mum and Dads’ similar story. Mum created a nursery for children within a home for abused women. Worked in rebuilding the mother and childs’ lives after the traumas experienced. Very difficult emotionally. So her commitment, after my Dad retired, was one of being torn between leaving the job to have a more relaxed lifestyle or staying in a job she really loved. It’s strange how the lyrics in a song can snowball into other stories that one’s self is experiencing. I haven’t seen your earlier blog about reposting my poem yet Sheila. I’m currently catching up on scrolling down Reader and dipping into my fave bloggers. 😊 Will get there……. Cheers for another great blog. All the best.

    1. Wow, Gray! How wonderful your Mum took on such a beautiful work project to care for children within a ‘womens shelter’ (what we call it in the states). She has a huge heart!
      I also am intrigued how “the lyrics in a song can snowball into other stories that one’s self is experiencing.” I find it fascinating! Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen and comment (sharing more of your thoughts too).
      Glad you liked the vibe too! Cheers to you and Angie.

      1. Cheers Sheila. Lyrics are little stories that sometimes hit home in some way. But it can also be a couple of powerful lines from the lyrics in the whole song that have significant meaning. Almost become an isolated statement. Morrisey sang ‘Please, please, please, let me, let me, let me, let me get what I want this time. Because Lord knows, it would be the first time’. That really meant something when I first heard it and it related to a significant situation. That kind of experience needs the perfect tune too. Because then the whole synergy truly resonates. All the best.

      2. Those Morrisey lyrics probably hit home for many people, Gray. So simple. But never written before in that same way.
        I totally agree about the synergy that’s needed and why I think metal works best for rage and country music for sadness. I am fascinated about my moods and music, whether the music induces my mood or whether I need to be in a certain mood in order to listen to a particular genre.

      3. Music is definitely a very personal experience. The senses of smell, hearing, tasting, listening, seeing, etc. all add up to provide our unique views on life. Our reactionary emotions. On the wards we had single, two or four bedded rooms. Of course, with two/four individual patients and one television set in a room? Sometimes a nightmare! Volume and channel choice were major issues. 😆

      5. There have been bands I love from back in the day that are amazing in their song writing and live playing abilities that have never made it big. Even though promoted at the time. Funnily enough they can become ‘cult’. A bit like films/movies. One band I used to know in Coventry, The Flys, had amazing songs. Pure class and really individual. Brought out two albums on EMI. Lots of radio play and gigs too. After they split, their guitarist wrote ‘No more I love you’s’ in his subsequent band The Lover Speaks. Annie Lennox picked it up and, well, there you go. Cheers Sheila.
