Dear Reader,
I think it’s Friday. All these days seem to run together anymore. I have three calendars and they all agree on that one fact though.
Today is Friday.
Which means of course, all of you have come here to my page for some inspirational music to get you through the weekend.
Or maybe you just happened to stumble upon this lil’ bit o’ madness on accident.
Either way, it’s a whole new day and a whole new theme.
This week I’d like to explore this phenomenon of never quite knowing what day it is. It seems to be a common side effect of true personal freedom. It may take a while to acclimate to this kind of completely free life, and sure, you’re gonna mess up and miss a few appointments along the way. But, once you truly learn how to “Live for the day”, the world around you will change in your favor, and life will unfold in front of, and all around you.
The first musical lesson in Freedom this week is brought to you by The Elovaters. If you are unfamiliar with this Boston based reggae band, you’re welcome.
If this week has been a struggle and you find yourself down in a hole, please hit play and let these guys be your ladder.
There, see? You’re feeling better already.
There is an amazing network of musicians out there that have been bending genres and blending cultures while the mainstream has done all it can do to keep us separated.
But, Hey, Hey, if you don’t mind, we’re tired of your shit so let’s take it outsi-e-ide.
Hey Hank, come out and play.
Now, Now, don’t run away so fast. I know y’all are still scared of 3. For good reason too, I can assure you. While he may not be FREE anymore, due to his own choices of course, he had broken free for a time.
This is always a dangerous time in our lives. From the moment you break free of your prison, and your chains, you become vulnerable. For the prison walls that kept you in, also kept you just safe enough.
Now you’re adrift at sea. You wake up and live the day, and love the nights away.
Keep going, just hit play……
Yeah we‘re gonna live it our own way.
That’s all I know how to do.
I came here for a reason. I know what that reason is, I remember it the way I remember a recurring dream.
I came here to experience, something.
What about you?
Why are you here with me? What do YOU want to do today?
Is today your last day here? Maybe. Guess we’ll find out along the way.
Just in case though, please hit play on this last song and at least experience The Warmth, even if it’s just this once.
Love you my friends, let’s ride.
-Will
