Song Of My Life Lately

Hi hivers, this blog contains great meaning for me as it reflects my feelings over the past few months. I'm not overly sentimental, but I obviously am. LOL 🤣
I composed a song that I would like to play on the keyboard or guitar. I was experiencing a slight sense of gloom, or possibly I was hibernating? I started by writing the chorus, which I referred to as the song's heart or main point. This is how it goes:

“Big city down to the country, where is the noise and the crowd? (oh no)
Living by myself. Yes, self, it’s hard; it's getting bored.
Look up, heads up, Pause for a while or do a restart, (‘cuz)
It’s okay if you don’t know where to start.”

It is me who produces the melody and chords.

I'm still getting adjusted to it; I have no idea why it's taking me this long, but I'm embracing every minute of it. I decided to get back to the piano again and start playing the guitar songs I really love. I find it easier to transition between chord reading than note reading, so I do that instead. I have a few video clips to show here.

I'll also just include pictures of the things that lift my spirits when I'm feeling down. First, I found some healthy bowls close to my apartment. In addition to being delicious and reasonably priced, these bowls make my afternoon worthwhile when I eat them while relaxing in the park or near the pond.

Of course, every 6:45 p.m., a quick dip. Since I own the entire pool at this hour, I include the exact time. I spend thirty minutes swimming laps in the pool. Unwind in the heated Jacuzzi tub next to it; incredibly calming, and at times I remember good things that have happened to me.

And lastly, what more could I want from a cup of my favorite iced coffee? My mood transforms in a matter of just one sip, almost magical. My mood is significantly altered when I drink coffee hot or cold. Iced coffee is what I need to feel better about a frustrating situation; however, hot coffee is what I need to unwind, especially on a Sunday morning with some bread or cake.

So I guess I'll end this blog by asking a favor. After reading this blog, go get your earphones, headphones, or airpods and listen to the song "True Colors" by Music Travel Love rendition. Then, you will realized that this blog makes sense. 😇
