My Current 12 Favourite Songs - mostly soft Rock

Lyrics and Rhythm matter along with examples of deep poetic nuance

Music has the capacity to nourish our whole being. Love gives a song our full attention.

Harmony with a song includes the lyrics as well as the rhythm to enhance the wonder of the presentation to our ears, our heart and into the depth of our being.

1.      Saturn - Sleeping at Night

A deep tribute to a loved one departing from this world. ‘And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist.’

If the person, who introduced me to this song, sees Saturn at the top of the list, she will smile. She knows why.
