Life is tough, make the most of today.
Why yes, it IS Tunes with Tuesday. Welcome.
Today’s song is Wishing Well, sung by Daniel Pearson.
This British singer/songwriter is a new find for me, although this specific song dates back to 2011. I discovered the song on SoundCloud earlier this month. I often randomly listen to songs there as I work at my computer. Music, to me, is motivation. It gives me energy, inspires me, and gives me strength if I feel sad.

It’s Tunes with Tuesday! Bring on the smiles as we laugh, dance around the room, and enjoy one another’s company.
Dave Matthews Band is an American rock band that I admire. Lead singer Dave Matthews writes songs that offer a pure perspective on the world around us.
He does not require electronic sounds to improve his voice. Instead, he looks to his guitar to light up the lines he says ever so softly. His voice is original, as is his spirit.
In a world full of clones, I really value people who are genuine to their own spirits.
The Dave Matthews Band released the song “Crash into Me” in 1997. It was a success for the group with a Grammy Awards nomination in 1998 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
As I listened to “Crash into Me” today, I began to type a poem. Below are the poem I wrote and the music video.
This is christyb, hoping you play the music, read the lines, and SAVOUR THE DAY.
When the beat takes you away,
You feel like you can walk for miles without
A toe to the ground, not even one time.
You imagine yourself back in rooms of love
And want to slow down the seconds
Into pieces you keep in your pocket,
Safe as a harmony, to
Emerge for rainy days.
Memories crash into my world
When I hear the beat sway, and
I wonder where your heart beats today.
Do you hear the same song?

It’s an awesome music table today! Tunes with Tuesday feature time is up, woot!
Bring on the music of Alex Clare. If you are not familiar with his music, you really must sit down and give this song Too Close a listen.
He is an English singer and songwriter with a voice that is so genuine. Well, we all know I like genuine people. If you can find a way to show that authentic nature in your singing voice, I bow to you!
Actually, rather than bowing to you, how about we hold hands and move forward together? Let’s move to a room where we can dance and be happy!
