Losing My Religion

Reflections on yet another trip around the sun.

“That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough”

Losing My Religion – That’s Me in the Corner, Vulnerable, Yearning and Trying to be Articulate. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #REM

Karma Police

On this day in 1997 Radiohead was at #1 with this thought provoking song.

“Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
He’s like a detuned radio”

Pride (In the Name of Love)

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr. through this song dedicated in his name.

“One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?”

Pride (In the Name of Love) – Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that.

Afterimage/If I Would Have Known

Remembering a friend.

“There is nothing sadder than a song that fades out too soon, one whose melody is left unresolved. The volume suddenly dies and you strain to hear it for a bit longer but it’s gone, and you feel cheated out of the beautiful music that was coming. “
