A Diverce Album

 

The songs on here are mostly downbeat. Is that the proper way of saying the opposite of upbeat? (musically speaking. the answer is no. Just trying to make a bit of a joke).

They try to tell stories about life's roads: among those are the ones I was walking on in 2007-2008. Or more so how I was feeling. Sometimes blue, sometimes filled with cautious optimism, sometimes simply wondering. Most of them are melancholy, but, there are three exceptions in "Music", "I Keep Walking the Road That Leads Me Back to You", and "My Kind of Living". The one mentioned second there, is one I wanted to have on the album because I wanted to leave the door open for love again. It was a call, or a prayer, or both. 

"A Different Road" ... does one not feel like one wants to walk on a different road than what one is on from time to time? But, then again, whether or not one is walking on one road or another, one is always walking on one's own road of life.

"Wonderful Heartache". The song was written because I had a song idea and a melody to go with it. It just happened that it fit in with the rest of the walkers/songs. My favorite lyric in the song is "A house so full of loneliness". Do you have a favorite lyric in there? If so, please share in the comments! :)

Music as Happiness

 

In pop culture and art: colors carry meaning. One color can mean different things in different situations and to different people. It's a matter of individual experiences and taste.

Do I sound obvious? (insert positive answer lol)

I used to have blue as my favorite color as a child. Why? Who knows.

All I know is I liked blue. When my children were little, I let them choose ever which colors they liked to wear. 

Until awareness of worldly norms and standards suggested otherwise. Will that thought bring a feeling of the blues along?  If so, here's a song I wrote just for the reason of wanting to write an upbeat 4/4 shuffle that I could sing at a talent show.

Here's a thought of a different color: blue can also mean something very positive. Like blue skies.
