All the Best
John Prine is in heaven now. He died yesterday after some years of bobbing and weaving with cancer. He was 73. If we are to believe one of his songs, and there is absolutely no reason not to believe any of his songs, he is already having a grand time.
Barry BlakePublished 4 years ago in BeatMusical Conversation Between Two Souls
Have you ever met someone for the first time, and just knew they were special? I've been lucky enough in my life to have experienced this feeling several times, but nothing is quite like the day I met Doug. We were at a recreation event for and with those who have developmental disabilities in the county he and I both lived in (at the time). A couple months prior, I started as the Music Coordinator, the Music Man, tasked with creating and implementing a comprehensive music program spanning several different developmental disabilities and a wide range of ages for the individuals supported at this particular non-profit agency. He was wearing a cowboy hat dancing up a storm, letting loose, and cutting up a rug. It was as if nothing else mattered. He was in the zone! I absolutely loved his energy, so I felt compelled to go over and introduce myself. We hit it off cracking jokes and I knew I was in the presence of someone self-less and caring.

Myles StruckerPublished 4 years ago in BeatThe experience of a quarter-finalist at The Voice
I think it was a May day and I had just got back from my semester abroad in Chicago. Back then I was a student at the Business&Economics University in Vienna - my mom and I thought it'd be a good idea to go there since I'd been learning German from a very young age (5 or 6 to be precise). This is irrelevant to the actual story but you need to understand what my situation was and what I was putting on hold.

Has there ever been a place you've been to and when you listen to a certain song, it just fits with the atmosphere of where you are?
Don Anderson IIPublished 4 years ago in BeatLife Interpreted Though Music
Music; An essential ingredient to a party or concert, The core of a good film, The product of musicians, For some music is just something to listen to when bored or to pass time but to me music is the core of my entire existence, but to truly understand how it centred my entire world we must go back to the very beginning.

#My point of view Music/Television makes one feel Energised and Refreshed.Its a healer and helps tackle problems and Emotional wellbeing. But the Irony is.. these days people are using Music as a tool to disturb others as they play it too loud at high listening volumes.Music should help Nurture souls rather than hurting anyone.
Live Music is a Terrible Thing
There are very few benefits to being an old man in your twenties. You get to yell a lot, which is nice. But the biggest advantage is knowing ahead of time just what youthful activities to avoid, for you know the difference between fun and carnage.
Freddie YoungPublished 4 years ago in BeatSelf-confidence
I'm a music lover. I have so many songs and CDs. Music help me so much! It's gave me the words and the emotions that I couldn't describe. So I thought that I should share some of my favorite song that gave me the self-confidence when sometime I couldn't. Enjoy! They are not the full lyrics from the song. I just typed my favorite parts from the songs.
Jade RenteriaPublished 4 years ago in BeatWhen the Grownup World is too much for me
As a child, I often dreamt of being rescued by Ponch of Chips, treated by Hawkeye of MASH, befriended by Bo of Dukes of Hazards. These gentle, sometimes compassionate characters were calming to my subconscious.
Michel SchwartzPublished 4 years ago in BeatThe Karma Bass Project
This young lady is one of the recipients of a thing I call the Karma Bass project. It started as a philanthropic effort I planned on just doing myself, and has dovetailed into a bigger thing than I could have ever imagined. Allow me to elucidate!
Mark FowlerPublished 4 years ago in BeatUnpopular Opinion: Different language includes meaning!
When thinking of a funny opinion to write about I was seeing the war on pineapple and it's place on pizza or if avocado toast is overrated, but I couldn't push this thought about music out of my head, that so many people disagree with other languages being anything but different, that when it comes to the words plus music it means nothing because they don't speak the language. I have had first hand experience with someone who said " it's good,but because I don't understand the language it has no meaning" How ignorant and almost shallow it must be to think that music that you don't understand has no meaning. Many don't see this as an issue, but the sly comments and the misunderstandings such as "you only like them because they're good looking boys" or "you're hopping on the bandwagon" I'm an avid listener of all genres of music regardless of where it's from, from Korean pop to Japanese to French, I love it's beauty and interpreting how I convey these emotions I hear. But some have clouded judgement and hear the different language over a soft piano and see no meaning. Some are obtuse to the significance of culture or beauty of other types of voices that they believe English is the prevalent outlet for meaning when in truth that is the biggest lie in the world. To believe that others have no meaning because the barrier between you and them are words you don't understand only shows the laziness of not try to understand others heartfelt messages or push aside ignorance to try new things.
