A glimpse inside with music

Today I added a playlist to my profile. All these songs have some meaning to me. The first song, "Remember the Tinman," is especially meaningful to me. While at first it may seem like a depressing song, it actually helped me to look within inside of myself....

When it came out back in the early 90's I was actively in the process of trying to understand my childhood, and working on healing from being molested. This song reflected all the questions I had inside me. I can remember playing it over and over....with tears streaming down my face.

I needed to hear the soft notes and lyrics - it helped to bring out all the emotions I had ignored for so long. All the pain I pretended wasn't there.

All the other songs on the list have meaning to me....some of good times, and some reflect times when I struggled with myself...my memories...

I have a friend who has a knack of communicating emotions he can't (for whatever reason) voice with music. The man is a walking jukebox....he can pull out a song and email a link to me that will capture whatever is going on in my life...or whatever he needs to tell me.

I love it when I get those emails first thing in the morning as I am waking up...it always puts a smile on my face.....sometimes while also pulling my hair out....

What music tells your story...shares your heart..your spirit?

As you can see mine is all over the place...ups...downs....sad....depressing, and uplifting.

And depending on my mood....the order will change.

Also please let me know if it bothers you as a reader to open this blog and hear the music.

Hola Eva, beautiful melodies, is the first thing that i can fell. I grew up listening music in english, and the most of cases don't understand the lyrics, without images, only music on the radio, but one thing was clear in my heart and my mind, the pleasure for the melodies. In the early of the 80's listened for first time the electronic music (Jean Michel Jarre), 12 or 13 years old may be. And that music clicked my heart, since those years i feel unique. The tennage memories (music) is the most preciate treasure for me, clasics, balads, pop, etc.
Right now the fell is so deep for me, because i am live alone. The tears appear many times, the melodies have always a connection with my first and unique love..my ex-wife. The music connect me with this world deeply, in special with my family (son, daugther, ex-wife, mother, some friend).
The dance 80's music make me happy
The electronic music, make me feel unique.
The balads, make me cry (like right now, listening your blog music), really beautiful melodies.
The classic, make me to love this world.
The Chilean music, make me love my country.

Eve, it is good that you put up music that pertains to what you like and want to share with us all. I too always wonder if I should keep mine up and have it start right away, or give the option of people just clicking on a song if they want to hear it. I change my mind daily. Blessings.

History Shrouded in Mold - Part 1

  Sipping my morning coffee I sit on my bed looking out almost century old windows and into the backyards of my neighbors. This morning was no different. The sky is grey and there is a slight chill in the air, reminding me that outside that glass is another world filled with life and adventure, stories to tell and lessons to be learned...knowledge to be gained. In other words, hope.  That sentiment brings back the emotions I felt as a little girl. Then, I sat on my bed looking out the massive Victorian era windows of the 3rd floor apartment we called home. It was in the mid 70s -Evanston, Illinois. I loved being able to see into the green of the trees that lined our street. Between the leaves and branches was another world playing out before my eyes. The birds, the squirrels and sometimes even a stray cat - they lived out a day in their life without ever knowing they had an audience taking in their story.  I would spend a lot of time watching them and getting to know their personalit

A Pay it Forward Christmas...

The Christmas Clues came all month long.....a month filled with constant motion ..chaos...stress...and deep inside me the usual holiday dread. Those clues helped to divert my attention away from the emptiness that has been in me for the last few years.... Those memories of a large family coming together where I was the hostess for all the holiday feasts....the memories that usually remind me of the last few years and how much the boys and I have lost when domestic violence entered our home...and what destruction it left in it's wake. Yes, the clues had me looking forward to time that in the last three years or so I would wish I could close my eyes around mid-November and wake up on Jan 1st - yes, me...the one time overly merry hostess had turned bitter towards the holidays. This is the first year in a very long time that I have actually looked forward to Christmas.... That Secret Santa...and those elves....must have known that I was dreading another Christmas...another holiday in

Healing Hearts an outloud journal post.

https://pixabay.com/users/artsybee-462611/ Healing hearts, or I should say the desire to, comes with admitting one’s own wounds which are in need of repairs. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks appearing to be quiet but really I was just doing some internal work while my body adjusted to a switch in medication to combat autoimmune flares. A few years ago I would have tried to push through such a thing and not allow my body, and even my mind, a chance to go through what it needs, I would have pretended I felt fine when I didn’t, thinking that made me strong. In reality such behavior made me weaker and landed me where I am today. Anyway, that lull allowed me to do quite a bit of thinking, planning and decision making. Right now the money raised for the Healing Hearts kickoff campaign is sitting in Go Fund Me — no withdraws made as I am waiting to hear back from an organization and person I trust to take those funds and get them where they need to be, to address crisis intervention for th
