Interpretation of great gig in the sky
Oh, The Great Gig in the Sky, it gives me chills just thinking about it. Not only is Pink Floyd my favorite band in the whole entire world this song on the album darkside of the moon, it is my most favorite song in the whole entire universe I wanted to interpret this song finally into words I turned it on lights off meditation pose and psychedelics.I love this song because you have to use your intuition and emotional self to understand it. Is this the actual literal meaning in which Pink Floyd wanted us to understand? My answer is , it doesn’t really matter whether it is or not, because it is my truth, it’s what resonates with me, after all the only thing that separates us all is perception. As I wipe the tears from my eyes I should proceed to explain my take on this wonderful melody. This collaboration of awesome sounds, and interesting opening in which a man is saying how “he is not afraid to die any time will do”. It never fails to amaze me the only words that are spoken after that intro are “if you can hear this whispering you are dying”. This is said almost subliminally. It tickles my fancy that anybody alive is technically dieing. oh what a clever little bunch they are. This song is sung in such a way, that your emotional self only can actually interpret what the singer is feeling. Making it almost a knowing. The attempts for man to attach to his own life. I mean it is kind of hard to to attach after all it’s all we know to be our real self even though it is not. Attempting to hang onto anything that gives him a sliver of his old self holding onto something that no longer exists, it’s merely a memory. He will kick and scream, Fight tooth and nail to take this non-existing self with him. Then finally realizing after a sea of emotions and almost going mad , well I am not going to say almost mad I think surpassing madness in coming to terms with his own mortality. In which you can only meet on the other side of madness. Then all this leads to grief , and loss it feels like your heart breaks along with this woman’s voice. I Continue to be carried by her Voice, then all of a sudden your heart falls to pieces, and when you can no longer take it anymore. Clarity acceptance, and peaceful feelings begin to warm your soul. It warms your soul because of relief. You feel no heartbreak instead you are light and free. Freeing you of the dense heavy burden we call our life. All of a sudden peace overwhelms you engulfing you in such a feeling the aaah moment. Almost like when you have to pee so bad you hold it for hours, and it hurts so bad it makes you sweat, and as soon as you let this loose you can feel the relief in which I speak of. A relief so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes and as I try to hold back these tears of love you just cannot help but let them shed then goosebumps take over your body. Well I don’t know about anyone else it’s the only way I can describe this song. Music is my passion , my drive, my escape , and the love of my life. Music can be interpreted in so many ways, thus customizing it for just you. This song is a piece of this great universe. A spec of magical fairy dust in our great gig in the sky.

Songs to Make You Happy Cry
One of the most important things my teenage years taught me is that anyone and everyone can use some encouragement now and then, a reassurance that they are good enough and everything will be okay. I found that encouragement and reassurance in songs from musical theatre.

Late to the Emo Scene, But Early to my Wake
Here is a quick warning for those unaware of what this playlist might entail: my life has been the epitome of a villain's tragic backstory, so there is an unhealthy amount of pain associated with some of these songs. Per contra, anyone who has a teenage angst playlist from middle and high school has associated an unhealthy amount of pain to their music, ergo, it should already be expected of such a collection. Regardless, if you are sensitive to certain topics, I would advise you to find different music to listen to.

It started with a mix tape...
Because of my age, I have bragging rights when it comes to the variety of formats in which I’ve immortalised musical compilations, mixes on: tape, CD, mini-disc, digital and video playlists. To craft the mixes, I’ve studiously waited for ‘the’ song to come on the radio and then pressed record on the tape deck, I’ve illegally downloaded on Napster, copied from physical purchases and now, I pay for Spotify Premium. I’ve both handwritten and typed the sleeve notes.

My Avril Lavigne Days
Though I was a Whitney Houston Fan and loved toning my vocals on all her songs, I pretty much grew up dreaming that Avril Lavigne was solely born to write and sing my theme songs ("Complicated" Avril Lavigne). It was like the Universe knew exactly when to play the right song of hers. The Universe played her songs every time when something happened to me, either when I was rejected, heartbroken, or in a complicated situation, or was just being plain stupid; no exaggeration, well maybe just a little.

Those Lonely Days

11 Hindi Songs To Start Your Day With
Two years ago, if someone would have told me what was coming up, I wouldn't have believed them. But here we are almost 14 months into the quarantine period, sure that this will last for a few more months at least. During this pandemic, the time has been passing slowly and rapidly at the same time. And something constant is the music that I have been listening to. Yes, I can admit that I have been hooked to the same playlist for the past year.

Sleep Therapy, Hard Things, And The Wrath Of Hell
As a singer, most, if not all, of my life revolves around music. So I could never choose just one song that has changed my life, because there have been so many pieces of music over many different genres and periods of my life that have affected me in one way or another. But there are a few that have stood out a little extra over the years.

Say What...?
Hello again, all. For as much as I love my vintage animation/comedy, my figure collections, or reflecting back on my past errors in judgments and whether or not THAT could have, unfortunately, made me part of someone else's #MeToo story, I do love my 80's rock, 90's country, and 80's/90's pop. I could listen to it for a goo two/three hours a sit vs. a row of maybe two or three "modern" songs.

from Bach to Ariana Grande
I make music for living. I went to pre-college and college majoring in music and earned in total now; 2 and a half degrees, pays my mom's bills using my voice, which means almost next to nothing about this music playlist I'm brainstorming in my head.

Underrated Love songs (And a few extra). Top Story - May 2021.
In these crazy and uncertain times, where face masks are the requirement (or at least highly recommended) to go out and isolation isn’t all self imposed now, in the horrors of the Covid-19 Pandemic squelching our semblance of peace and security by even just stopping by the grocery store—- my recommendation is something that may seem trivial but it can be cathartic: love songs. This brings you back to a simpler time, but also a very complicated one. Being a teenager. All of your teenage angst. And the romance it brought up! Here is mine----along with my original writer's findings that this article had sought to relay.
