You look so much better when you. . .  I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song?  I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation.  We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser.  I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you?  The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate.  I hope people get to know you and what you're about.  They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...

I guess I'm the lucky one. . .  Tribute to Mary Anne Pasina xx I know this super highway This bright familiar sun I guess I'm the lucky one Who wrote that tired sea song Set on this peaceful shore You think you're heard this one before What super highway are you on? Wherever the sun rises or sets on you, do you still feels its warmth or the harshness of its rays? We can too often be consumed or subsumed into the rat race of life and forget to see what the important things are in life, because we spend all of the time investing energy into planning for the future.  To some extent that is true and quite a sensible approach to take.  What else can you do to prepare you for a future that is unknown?  There are too many worries that swirl around you when you try to figure out things that are beyond your control.  Instead figure out exactly what your own personal peaceful shore is - whether it's a significant place of meaning that brings inner peace for y...

And you don't have to do it alone. . .  The sun is shining but not on me Another lonely day What's the use in making plans When nothing's gonna go my way But there's a voice deep down inside me telling me what to say When you have a negative mindset or you've been knocked to the ground so many times, it is totally natural to feel as if there is no point in even trying anymore.  Have you made plans that have fallen through?  You had lofty visions about something that you thought would come to fruition but now serious doubts are starting to set in?  What are the things that you are doing to ensure that you can make those plans come to life?  It is ok for plans to change shape, for people to leave and for you to figure out some other support crew to help you in your journey.  Why are things not going your way anymore?  Did you not set yourself up to have accounted for any difficulties that you might encounter?  It is always the things that y...

But I turn around and you're standing here. . .  How did you get in  Nobody's supposed to be here I've tried that love thing for the last time My heart says no no Nobody's supposed to be here But you came along and changed my mind Have you always been surprised about how love has entered your life? I can recall occasions where it has turned up unexpectedly and unwarranted.  You can choose to react to it negatively or positively.  I laugh when I think about how in my early days of trying to understand what relationships were all about, it took me a while to figure out how I felt about relationships in general, before realising what exactly I felt about the person involved, let alone how I felt about myself and my feelings.  Has anybody slipped in undetected in your corner of the world?  There will be people that might have feelings for you but you don't know how to deal with it all.  How do you deal with that? I've spent all my life On a s...

When you tell me I'm the only one you need. . .  When I am lost You shine a light for me and set me free When I am low You wash away my tears and take me through Where do you go when you are lost?  When you are low? Music has always been a great source of comfort, peace and freedom that ensures that I don't feel lost or low.  I sometimes wonder if people around me have the same kind of support network at their disposal?  I have been having conversations with people around me who are dealing with other people with increased mental health issues and it made me think about what people are going through.  When lights are shined for you, are you able to recognise them for what they are?  Lights can shine on you to highlight further what your gifts and talents are so that you can continue to shine for yourself, but be careful that others don't take control of how you can be set free.  Nobody needs to get it twisted like Kanye. The loneliness The ...
