“If music be the food of love, play on.” – William Shakespeare

What would your life be like without music?

Hello My Friends

That for me is a difficult question, although I love music 🎶 I listened mostly when driving, so when my health deteriorated and I could no longer drive, I seemed to stop listening to music so much.

I live in a world of almost silence, I would say 95% of my life is silence 🤐. I don’t like it but it is a coping mechanism for me. On a good day music is on and an out of tune, once alto voice now more a harpy can be heard warbling all the right words. Only they sound wrong because the singers get the lyrics back to front all the time. Amateurs!

Those days are few and far between, not me getting the words right and everyone else singing some other rubbish that happens all the time 😂 but music, radio even tv can stop the sound of silence. Unless you suffer the same way it is difficult to understand.

So for the days when I close my eyes and my mind waltzes me of to Strauss’s, Blue Danube or I’m in the mood for a little,

Come on Eileen by Dexteys Midnight Runners, a little

Miley, or even dad

Billy-Ray,

Bob Marley,

Johnny Cash.

The list could go on for a very long time but that’s not what this is about, for those moments that throw me back to happier times, a world without music 🎼 would turn this dark place in which I live, into a black abyss. Never to have hope of seeing the light again, never to feel the sun on my face. That is what life would be like taking away that final bit of joy left that I have.

Keep the sun shining

Keep the Music 🎶 Playing

Keep your smile’s beaming
