Hey now Matt, I’ve been listening to Lou lately. Always when I’m going through love problems. He has some beautiful love songs. But he has some vicious ones also lol
I’m afraid, not across a great deal of his discography, but I’ve written about a couple of his songs. I’m largely unfamiliar with his love songs. Which can you recommend?
That song Perfect Day is fantastic. I hadn’t heard it in eons. It’s going in the vault.
As I get more song recommendations or learn about songs which I had forgotten about through investigating related material, I’m beginning to realise this music project could be never ending. Ouch.
I liked those other songs you forwarded. Thanks.
What’s your first name? Do you have a nickname?
Re, Matt K
My name is Tom. The Music Project is great. Gets me listening to different types that I overlook! I have putting Beethoven on early morning. Never would have before. With so much music to choose from it may never end! Enjoy your day Matt.I know it’s night there lol
Thanks Tom. The project keeps me outta trouble Haha. I even told my kids, that if I happen to kick the bucket in the meantime, then they are responsible to ensure the project is completed lol
Yeh, it’s a never-ending exercise and I’m starting to think I might have to just restrict it to the songs I have now. Even then I imagine it won’t finish before 2029. We’ll see what happens.
I hope things have settled down for you and you’re feeling more at ease. Have a good day.
I love discovering different types of Music. You never disappoint with your selections. Keep up the good work. I’ve been a little under the weather. Kinda good keeps me from craving bad habits lol Have a great day Matt…
My first hour of the early morn entails the writing of an article. The second hour is responding to comments and then catching up on the previous day’s articles from blogs I follow. (this part is where I discover new songs or reminded of songs I’d forgotten about).
Thanks for your encouragement as always Tom. Got the kids here this weekend and it’s all going to be about sports. I wish you an excellent weekend. Be strong and resilient and let the puppeteer think on your behalf rather than your bad-habit self.
My morning routine is just about the same. It’s comforting to keep a loose schedule. Something I never did when I was young. Have a great time with the kids! Enjoy life! The demons are the losers! Have a great weekend Matt!
Demons are persistent lol…been down with the virus about 6 days..getting old. Not as bad as the first time. Still got good appetite and sleeping well. Glad you had a good weekend Matt!
I can’t sleep well. That’s my Achilles heel. 5 hours straight for me is good. I’m glad you have got good appetite and are able to sleep well. Those are important, man.
This stuff is relentless. Like 2 steps forward then 1 back. Woke up this morning feeling worse than previous 2 days. It’s getting old Matt! Just gotta ride it out I guess…
I know that frustration only too well. We are getting old man! Like I was telling Connie (the Mum of my kids) about how I feel like I have lost muscle mass in my upper body. And just today while working out on park exercise equipment I strained my calf. Coincidentally my son suffered a calf injury (same leg) during a football match only 2 weeks ago. We are in the Wars. At least my energy levels are quite good. Any hows onwards and upwards. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Yeah it’s getting harder to shake physical ailments. At the same time I think I’m mentally stronger than when I was young. Crazy world and life. I was working outside today and my arms are aching and I’m just sore. Probably pushed myself a little while not fully recovered but I sure feel it. Yeah getting old! But wiser!
I applied ice to my calf several times today and it feels 80% better than yesterday… Thank God!
Yeh, I know it’s this general malaise and tiredness / soreness which creeps in when applying yourself physically. In terms of concentration, I’ve never felt more astute.
Only now do I realise that Nicotine and Alcohol f%6ked me no end on the mental and physical level. These days feel like paradise compared to what I went through. I literally sometimes have to pinch myself,
It seems guys at our age (50 and beyond) have to be conscious of not pushing ourselves, The moment we feel a strain or something isn’t right we have to stop the activity and treat the pain. I think….Wiser is good Tom.
Got a heating pad on my neck now lol. I try to do everything slower. The concentration thing is great. I do just feel wiser. I am feeling great mentally. The Scotch doesn’t haunt me like it used to. My mind is finally clearing up. The alcohol can muddle the brain. I can rule it, I feel impowered. Tea, coffee and a coke will do lol Stay in paradise Matt!
I also try to savour the moments by just going about life slower. I had never really done that before – like smell the roses. I was always anxious and felt tension and just wanted to get my next hit of Nicotine or Alcohol.
Yes, I find alcohol obstructs the senses to the spiritual realm. If there is one thing that I have taken away with me in the abstinence period, it is that.
I feel empowered too, but only by being not in power. How’s that for a paradox? lol
Little things I overlooked. Alcohol was my main concern lol I admit it. Everything has changed the last few years. I pay attention. Without a cloudy brain I notice everything. Sometimes to much lol
I couldn’t have summed it up any better when I at the behest of alcohol. Like you, now I feel my mind is free of that alcohol induced ‘malware’. There are NO limits.
Nice song that Pale Blue Eyes. I like the mellow guitar sound. Thanks. I imagine you’ve heard Lou’s version of Dylan’s ‘Foot of Pride’. He killed that song. Way better than Bob’s original (bootleg) version.
