Evanescence... mmmmm I love that song. sung sooooo beautifully painful, simple and raw!!
I've never seen that video! For some reason, I had another video in my mind for that song hahhaha
Daughtry - he has grown so much from American Idol hahaha - but he was incredible on there too!
So - my husband noticed something that I never did.
Whenever I'm in one of those "can't shake it" moods where the noise in my head won't quiet and leave me any peace...
He turns on country music. Like 90's country. early 2000's. And like magic, I start singing, then start belting, then start feeling music soothing the savage beast! hehehe
so very nice choice to let music pull you into a new diretion! I've never heard that Daughtry song - but that is a feel good song if I ever heard one! hehehe
"design and create your ideal life"
Amen brotha.
Too many people let fear (or reluctance to leave the predictable) prevent them from taking the steps to rewrite the script.
but it is all about taking ownership back of our lives and convincing ourselves that we are worth every chance!
Probably 60% of what I listen to is country music. Not the really old stuff though. It find it more real than most music and I certainly can't listen to most of the manufactured rubbish created these days. (I never listen to the radio, just can't do it.)
You see that line I end all my posts with? That's my life-motto/ethos. I live by it. Works.
it absolutely works - that's really what "dreem" actually means.
It's taking your dreams from the clouds - and bringing them to the earth with feet and vision and a plan :)
I also live by that mentality.
I don't listen to the radio either - don't have tv. I don't listen to the really old country either (not like Cash or Hank) I always had a thing against country growing up.. because all my friends said it wasn't "cool" hehehe
one day - I heard an amazing song while waiting for my order at a restaurant.
the next week - i kept listening to the radio (back in 90s hahahaha) trying to find THAT song.
It took me a while to find it -though I eventually did. BUT... in the meantime, I could not believe how many AMAZING songwriters and PHENOMENAL harmonies and musicianship I was hearing.
I was sold. Here I was - a singer for years - and completey limiting my scope!!! and I normally sang alto - so HARMONIES. come on hahaha is there any better genre for harmonies than country!!?!
and i agree - it is so REAL. the lyrics take you on a journey with heart!
You're a legit singer and it's pretty clear to see you're passionate about it just by watching you sing. Hive needs more real personalities like you; you know, kooky and crazy and flawed and fallible...Human.
I very much appreciate that.
I work hard to not just pursue my drEEms, but to provide opportunities to do the same for others who are just as passionate and willing to take those steps.
and i'm very human hehehe and love to share that with people so that they can feel comfortable in their humanity too
but i am very much a dreemer too. hehehe and love to share that with people so that they can link arms and move intentionally (together)
❤️
All you say here...I feel the same and I find a nice outlet here on Hive. Also the ability to help a few who want to help themselves.
i'm glad to have connected with you!
sometimes, we get a little isolated here. and it feels like lately - some very key things are happening at the same time, supporting the true growth of Hive, and I really feel like it's a good time to be here. you know?
i have such plans for this coming year (my year goes from birthday to birthday hehe) so - 11 months and 1 week from now, I hope to have made those dreems true! hehehe
what about you? what are you goals for this coming year?
Well, I support a few people out there, communities and concepts so maybe we can collaborate on something at some stage? Who knows how the wind will blow.
Well, my last day at work is the 8th. A job of over four years in an industry I've worked in for 20 so...Plans are to float about for a bit, find some central point to kick off from, a reset, and then I'll see what comes up.
I want to be doing something that allows me more room to live, to engage with life, so I'm not sure what will happen. Time will reveal all.
Happy belated 21st also!
