What is songs to me ?

"A song is no song till you sing it; 

A bell is no bell till you ring it; 

and love in your heart was not put there to stay;

Love is not love till you give it away."

What a beautiful song !

 

Some say love it is a river 
that drowns the tender reed 
Some say love it is a razor 
that leaves your soul to bleed 

Some say love it is a hunger 
an endless aching need 
I say love it is a flower 
and you it's only seed 

It's the heart afraid of breaking 
that never learns to dance 
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance 
It's the one who won't be taken 
who cannot seem to give 
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live 

When the night has been too lonely 
and the road has been too long 
and you think that love is only 
for the lucky and the strong 
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows 
lies the seed 
that with the sun's love 
in the spring 
becomes the rose 

Rose ~ the love of many women.   Rose is always linked to love, especially red roses are symbol of sexual love, woman's beauty and pleasure in relationship.  The use of rose is not limited to just love for the living being, but in funeral it is also used as a sign of love to our dearly departed person in our lives.

It is not a new song, and it is a song of yesteryear that we have heard it many times, but each time when I listen to a song, the lyrics will remind me of my life and my experience.  I will sink into the song, feel the meaning of the song.  Some songs really sing my heart out, exactly those feeling at that moment.  I guess all songs are written for a purpose, the right song is always there for those who needs it at the right time..

I can't live a day without listening to songs or any type of music......song is part of me and it is connected to me through love...love of my life, my family and religion.

Sing ~ I love to sing and it is also a way to relax more so like recreations for me.  When I sing, I really enjoy myself and sing the best I could.  This is how much I enjoy listening to music, sentimental ones in general are my favourite, love songs of 80's.  It is so important to fill my life with music as a stimulation to my brain, when I walk in the morning, I will listen to some religious chant....boring right...just doubling up the benefits of keeping healthy and religiously enriched....haha ! Sometimes I will choose randomly from the song library, can be fast or slow as long as it soothes my ears !!   I just love Carpenter's song...Here is another great song...

Sing out loud

Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not

Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.
