marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "O"

1/30/2019

12 Comments

 
Picture

"Regardless of what is going on around you, make the best of what is within your power, and take the rest as it occurs."- Epictetus

​"Do your best. Take the rest with a grain of salt." - Miss Sammie


​Time passes like the wind.

Some days are way better than others.

The stress of today will most likely not matter tomorrow.​

Epictetus and my wise Mom remind me to cherish what truly matters in life and within myself.

​Please join me in listening to some OH so wonderful "O"-songs:


Something Old:

​
I have long loved the mournful, yet oddly comforting, sound of Roy Orbison's voice - this may be my all-time favorite.
Something New:

I'm just getting to appreciate the folk rock music of The Lumineers. Take a listen to "Ophelia" and see if they are your cup of musical tea ...
Something Borrowed:

​
Apologies in advance for this cheesy video ... close your eyes and rock out to one of my perennial favorite YES songs.
Something Blue:

​For me this song needs no words - the instruments have a "blues mind" of their own.

Morning Mar,
Wise words on a Wednesday are always welcome.
Roy Orbison's Only the Lonely is such a classic. Thanks for the O playlist, great selection! As the temperatures in the East drop well below 0, hope you are Okay!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, oh wait that's your line this week. You can't go wrong quoting Miss Sammie. Roy Orbison, now that brings up memories. The Lumineers seemed to use the same tempo in Ophelia and Ho Hey. Thanks for the music fix.

Listening to Allman Brothers belting out their tune. Great heart-pumping rockin' and rollin' music this morning. Funny, I was searching for a music video yesterday and picked one of theirs. Hugs and Happy Wednesday.

Glad you love the Allman Brothers as much as I do, dear Peg.

I'm heading to see your latest soon - the title is music to my ears!

Hugs to you too, Maria

You know what's funny, Mar? Husby was half asleep on the couch, spent from the day. I was reading your post and, like I always do, I start playing the videos one by one. Well, J perked up as soon as Roy Orbison came on. I never knew how much he loved Roy Orbison until I played the video on your site here. We went down a rabbit hole to YouTube land in which we played video after video of songs by Roy Orbison and which then led us to the Traveling Wilburys. Nearly an hour later, I made my way back here and husby wanted to hear the other videos you picked. So now, I have the last one playing, as I sure do love the blues. :) See what you started there? I came over here at 9:20 pm to comment, and here it is, 10:23 and I'm finally finishing my comment. The power of music. The POWER. Hehe. I love your songs, your posts and your taste. <3

What a wonderful comment, dear Cynthia.

I love that you and husby took such a sweet musical detour.

Hope you're having a great week.
Love, Maria

O... Oh....Ohhh, Only the Lonely was such a favorite of mine.... when I could still listen to sad music without spiraling down into the depths of depression.

Yesterday, 30 years ago, my father disappeared into the Hereafter. Yet, my sadness is as fresh as that of the very first day.
So, Epictetus and Miss Sammy's quotes are highly recommended.

Take care, dear Mar ♥

Oh Martie ,

I am sending you all my love and a bushel of hugs. These anniversary days can be bittersweet for sure.

Crying is healthy and cathartic to me. Please be gentle with yourself.

Love you, mar

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.
