Somehow, the songs give us a physical measure of what we otherwise can't quantify - and it's so amazing that no matter how many years go by, those songs evoke the same memories, same feelings. <br />Neat songs, Gary.

That "Massive Attack" song has been a most poignant 'soundtrack' to my life. Despite it being twinged with painful memories, I do indeed find much inspiration for a better future from that incredible song.<br />Very kind of "All Consuming" and everyone who so thoughtfully responded. I shall dance, sing, rejoice with the 'wee folks' in a musical better tomorrow. <br />I like to think there is rhythmic harmony within the words that dance from our keyboards.<br />Thanks David and a delight chatting with you on Friday evening.<br />In kindness and some treadmill music, your way, Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-1152449750946845292012-06-16T20:41:19.891+00:002012-06-16T20:41:19.891+00:00Hi All Consuming,

Your posting and the harmony within, on Alex's site, was articulate, thoughtful and informative. I'm grateful for Madeleine and for you kindly linking into my site.<br />Old Kitty is precious. In their own way, as times moves on, even the haunting ones have helped me in my ongoing healing process.<br />And the tunes in the life of that teen in such adverse conditions, no doubt, helped him maintain some semblance of a positive focus.<br />I firmly believe there is no gamble in writing from the heart. My friend, I sense that within you. I greatly appreciate your response and rejoice in the knowledge that we never need be alone.

You're so right, too, that where it transports you is varied and not always upbeat (to say the least!). But a fine thing about music is, for every piece that serves as a reminder of a troubled time, there is a piece, or several, that evokes something joyful.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-26904216955744920032012-06-16T13:27:29.651+00:002012-06-16T13:27:29.651+00:00Hi Gary.

Today when I hear one I have to laugh, remembering the needed lesson of the event. I always try to stay open to the lesson.<br /><br />For me, the Rolling Stones', "Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown," was healing. Then again, "You can't always get what you want," made me smile... how true is that?<br /><br />And, lastly, "Summer in Dixie," brings back a whole lotta teenage frolicking of days past(smile). <br /><br />Great post Gary!Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-20796206549598909122012-06-16T08:49:19.408+00:002012-06-16T08:49:19.408+00:00Dear Gary,

People often speak of having a "soundtrack" to their lives, and the two songs you've chosen here I happen to like very much, particularly the "Massive Attack" song. I suppose everyone must have a sondtrack that accompanies their expereinces in life, and I'm no exception. Sometimes this soundtrack brings back painful memories, sometimes joyous ones, and at the moment I'm trying to seek out some new music to accompany new experiences, but mostly I just listen when I'm on my treadmill! Anyway, Gary, I'm certainly glad that, as "all consuming" says above, that that particular painful time is behind you now, and that you continue dancing to your own music. Indeed, your mellifluous, poetic words have a certain music to them.<br />Very Best Wishes, your way,<br />David.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115443256449529220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-45269655843173927642012-06-16T08:29:37.935+00:002012-06-16T08:29:37.935+00:00Beautifully written.

Madeleine was right; you are one to follow.<br /><br />I am with Kitty: I hope the healing songs outweigh the haunting ones in your future.<br /><br />In my novels, I have a teenager living on the streets, whose mental life is what keeps his sanity in an insane world. As he struggles, he hears different tunes, springing from his memories.<br /><br />I thought I was taking a gamble on writing about such things. You help made me feel not so alone in my thoughts.

Yes, the wonderful voice of Shara Nelson and that song by Massive Attack, I believe, is most worthy of being in that top ten list. A great, somewhat legendary, English band. Despite it playing on the radio at that awful moment, I love that song.<br />I so know what you mean about smells. Which reminds me, "Penny, what's that smell?"<br />Have a good weekend, bazza.<br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
