Music's in my heart I can't deny
I wake up everyday to hear the high
You can't take away my singing days
Living on a string but I won't change
One of the greatest joys of my life has been my relationship with music. I don't think I would have as complete as life as I could have, without music. Whenever I have needed solace and comfort, a song is never far away. Being able to sit at a piano and just take myself somewhere far away while playing has always been great for me. When I think about all of the times that having the gift of music has done, I can't be thankful or grateful enough for it. Music is so embedded in my heart, that I find it easier to communicate to people through it. Most of the time you might find yourself living on a string too, but if you know yourself well enough and you are willing to grow, then change will not seem so much like a threat.
Everybody's working hard with the 9 to 5
But I just want good music in my life
I can't make it playing all alone
I got memories to keep me on the phone
Whoever came up with this 9 to 5 business is probably regretting that right now. I don't know about you but I'm more productive in my own time, at my own pace. That being said, I probably finish tasks faster because if I am working on something that is contributing to a greater goal with other people - then I will take the time to make sure the project is done well. I think the older you get, and the more you know how your work ethic is shaped, you can figure out how best to spend your time - like making good music for example. Playing with other people in a band has held some of the fondest memories I have had as a musician - playing trumpet in orchestras, bands and for so many different occasions. These are priceless memories that are etched in my mind and would not disappear without a trace like it might on a mobile device, if you don't look after it or it malfunctions.
Now I know just what I'm gonna do
I was born for making love and making music too
Every time I take another chance, hey
Music's in my life, I need romance
For me, making music is an act of making love. You put your heart and soul into making sure that what is expressed in the music, is interpreted in such a way that an audience might feel that love. I mean, this is the reason why you are able to put certain songs on repeat - because it resonates deep within your soul. Music can teach you how to love, I mean there's plenty of love songs that talk about it all. But when you go to take another chance at love, you lack the confidence to get yourself together. I guess you could use Music to woo people - it's nothing new. Figuring out whether romance is on the agenda, is another story.

I hope that you start focusing on making music, making love in ways and places where others make hate We need to remind people that we are able to connect effectively whilst still being mindful of our wellbeing in work settings. So, where to find inspiration for good music? Look no further than within yourself to bring forth the melodies that plague your waking hours, harmonies that you can create with others and more importantly, the rhythm that keeps the momentum going. Too often we forget that. So I'm just writing this to remind all of my family out there, near and far, blood related or not, sisters from different misters and from different mothers, my brother. . .
