It’s December 25th, 2024; Merry Christmas! We’re bringing you a fun original song to go hand in hand with your merriment! Presley the elf frolics and rocks into your living space to add joy, while paying tribute to the one and only, Elvis Presley. We hope everyone’s had a jolly morning, full of love and surprises.

This is the three-hundred-sixtieth new music post for 2024! The music for this original was recorded several years ago at Steven Cooper’s studio in Nashville, TN. But when Richard wrote new lyrics, he wanted a realistic voice (like Elvis) on the vocals. Matt Dame does a great rendition, even mimicking Elvis at the end. Great job! And many thanks to the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN on the remix.  https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

Presley the elf. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey

I woke up too early and then fell back asleep and missed the girls’ opening of their ‘Santa gifts’ and emptying of their stockings. But our son-in-law, Mike, recorded it, so I got to see that. Unfortunately, both of the twins have had a stomach bug, so one went to bed early last night and missed the family Christmas movie, Home Alone. The rest of us enjoyed that together. And I had forgotten how touching that movie was (at the end). Yes, I cried a bit too! I was glad that while we had not put our nativity up, there was a nativity scene (twice) in the movie and I didn’t miss my opportunity to comment on it! Ha! We also agreed that ‘everything happens for a reason’ was loudly proclaimed in the story line. Had the 8 year old not been left home alone, the elderly neighbor wouldn’t have been reunited with his family! Aww!

My gift to you

I hope you got to hear my gift to you in yesterday’s daily music blog post. But if you missed it, here it is again. As it came back to me this morning as I came back home to lay in bed, both because I was tired, and because I felt a twinge in my stomach too! (I hope I’m not picking anything up from the girls, as both my daughter and Mike are sick too.)

Here’s my gift to you: a ‘healing audio‘ / spoken words turn to singing (no music). I would like to put it on a video at some point. Suffice to say, my prayer is that it helps you heal.

Always integrating

I also hope you enjoyed the Jordan Peterson and Dallas Jenkins interview within the previous Integrating the Spirals post I presented for Christmas. They speak about several things near and dear to my heart. I’ll highlight a few: 1) Storytelling without propagandizing, 2) the FREEDOM we can feel and success that can find us when we surrender our Ego, 3) the synchronicity of the miraculous when we’re humble or feel we’ve failed (even while doing big things), and 4) the humanity and divinity within Jesus and perhaps ultimately within each of us.

Integrating the Spirals: Merry Christmas!
Meme: “When we don’t trust in God we try to be God. We try to control everything and everyone and become miserable in the process. Sure we look busy and productive but inside we are fearful and taking on burdens we were never meant to carry. Trust. Prayer. Surrender will give you peace.” –Jon Gordon

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse and there are myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,

      2. Oh, thank you, Gray! I’m so glad you had a chance to listen. I was curious what you would think of the microphone on this new iPhone 16 Plus. I got too close once so it had one spot in the recording (that poof if breath) that I would take out. But Richard showed me how to convert the file from the Voice Memo to mp3 for WordPress so I could share it. Also I now have GarageBand on this new iPhone! So, I will experiment with that.
        Looking forward to the New Year and new ways to share! Cheers!

      3. I used the iPhone internal mic for early uploads last year on this new journey of song experiments before the Apple set up. You could hear every little breath intake or sniffle. It did go through the Shure MOTIV app for recording though. So not sure of what you are using for audio. The thing with more ‘professional or supposedly better mics’ is that you can get ‘plosive’ responses on dynamic mics where P, B or similar beginning words or outside noise can be an explosive nuisance. Maybe a filter shield could work. Just a cheap bit of mesh. The thing is, it is experimentation and just seeing what works best as to positioning the mic, speaking into it at a different angle, choosing iPad sound quality, choice of surroundings that doesn’t reflect sound, etc. But mics are all very sensitive nowadays and can highlight any unwanted noise. It is nothing to do with breath control, etc.. to sort it out. It is to do with looking on YouTube for techniques and advice. I’m still fathoming it all out too.

        Good you have GB. You can put your vocals through that system and temper down problematics. So try that too. So many options though! Cheers back.
