‘WE LUCKY PEOPLE, WE WHO HEAR THE MUSIC’ Hello to all, Do you know why we love music so much? If not, I’ll give you a clue… Aw heck, I’ll just tell you what I know to be true in my heart. Music, reaches out to the center of our being. It can help us find a balance our to our daily lives, when the crap hits the fan. Music is a gift, to those who will listen. Not all people know this gift. They just either can’t hear, nor will they listen, to the music that’s all around them. And that music does not come from only our voices, nor the instruments we accompany our song with. (Nor the radio, LOL) If you are one of those people who can stand on a timbered hillside on a fall day, and listen to the leaves rustle while the wind blows through them, and it gives you pleasure and joy in your heart, just to be there for that special moment, and you realize just how special that moment is, cherish it. If, in brief moments such as these, you hear the music of life; and because of that God given gift, you can find peace within your soul. We all have heard that old saying; “TAKE TIME TO STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES”. It’s the same thing; stop and hear the music. Or sing along to it! And if your singing voice seems to be tone deaf, sing anyway. You will find joy in doing so. And be like me; feel sorry for those who just can’t, or, nor will they slow down long enough to…hear that music. While I have got your attention, I ask you to glance over the songs I post. Have you noticed, that it would be really hard to fit them all into one ‘genre’? If you hadn’t, take my word for it, it is. And I feel there is a reason for that. My songs come to me as and inspiration, in a burst of creativity, that I can’t explain. And all my songs seem to come from mostly, my life experiences. And often, they include the joy or pain I see in others lives. No two days of life are exactly alike. Some are joyful, some painful, and others, just plan confusing, as to; “WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?” That you will ask your self, when the days work is done, and we find time, to sit down and mull it over. I am glad that the inspirations for my music seem to come out of left field! And I’m never sure whether that ball will be a ‘grounder’, or a high flying ‘pop up’. I just write it, play it, and sing it as it comes to me. That way, I’m not bored with creating it, and I hope your not bored with listening to it. Sometimes, you’ll find a message in the lyrics, if I am concerned over world events, and where they are taking us. Please forgive that urge to do so. We all need to ‘VENT’ once in a while. If you are a fan of my work, check my play list often, as I post new songs almost as soon as I get them recorded. (Note, I do all writing, performing, and sound production, adding instruments played, by my self, using “DAW” software. Hence, you won’t find perfection here; just a lot of heart, poured into my work.) God bless you all. And to get through those hard days; turn up the sound on your favorite music, and throw away those pills. They just dull the pain anyway, and do not help you really feel better, as music will. If you do like my songs, please click the 'HEART' and let me know. Have a great day and even better evening! Sincerely, Gerald Bubba Ulmer
