Music With a Message (Positive please)

Back to music. One of my favorite all-time songs that I think encapsulates what life was like when I was a young adult is Billy Joel’s Piano man. I especially liked his reference to the real estate “novelist”. So many times you meet people who are engaged in work that is paying the bills but not what they really want to be doing and I think this song pictures that very well.

Seen him live in concert at Norfolk Va in 1982, it was a blast! 🔥👊🙌🎶😎

"When I Go" by the band Saults (featuring Alan Parsons) is a song about reflecting on life, mortality, and the legacy one leaves behind after passing away. It explores the emotional moment of leaving this world, focusing on what memories or impacts echo after a person is gone.

 
A flute might be nice, a few violins, one or two trumpets, add a few cello, oboes, clarinets, a touch of Mozart, Beethoven - that sort of stuff. Not to say it’s not wonderful that he can make that sort of sound with his voice but most men would if part of their anatomy was shut in a vice!! 🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
