PLAYLIST
Imagine a world without music. It would be dreadfully monotonous. Without music and song, it would be harder to define the moments of our lives.
Without song, you would never have experienced that first awkward, sweaty-palmed dance with your first true love.
You would never have inextricable links to key moments in time: parties, graduations, picnics, family trips.
"I'm Too Sexy" would not be about a middle aged woman clapping in a hot tub while an awkward teen entertained his family in a hotel window seven stories above.
"Dust In The Wind" would not be about her and him, it would be a paean to death.
Without songs, we would find it much more difficult to define our emotions, our nature, and our formative moments.
Wish You Were Here, Creep, With Or Without You, Homeboy, Epic, What Do I Have To Do, Writing To Reach You, Out To Get You, Weighty Ghost - where would we be without this music? Where would we be without these moments in time?
How would we define exhilaration without the thrill of live music? How we would define cool without the output o the jazz greats?
Today is Monday and my playlist is "M"s. Tomorrow I will tackle the "T"s an I will play it loud and clear for all to hear. Music is emotion, and we all need it in our
lives.
Enjoy. Take a moment to dance by yourself, or with those around you. Sing along, under your breath or at the top of your lungs. Music is a gift to be shared, so spread the word.
What will you play today?
