A Little More Sharing

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.     E.Y. Harburg

A Day of Sharing Song

 

LINK TO PARTICIPANTS : HERE

The idea:  Songs can move us to places we haven't been in a long time, places we long for every day, or places we some day hope to be.  The combination of music and poetry can transport us across distances, and through the years. While we listen,  perhaps we grin wildly, or are moved to tears.  We all have songs that  are "ours"  in our very hearts. We have songs that touch us, move into our hearts and resonate, creating a feeling, taking us some place- past, present, future- perhaps some place we have never been and may never go, but for whatever reasons, the song sings for us.

Meeting new music, musicians, composers, poets,  new ways for my soul to sing, is an intruiging concept. Want to go on this adventure with me? It will be easy to travel along.

Many of us already do this sharing; this idea is just to help us find each other and hear the words we have to share.

The Date: Wednesday, December 3.

The Plan:  on your blog, post a song that moves inside you, touches you, reaches you.  You can do any or all of the folowing: 

• link to a youtube video (done as you would normally post a link)                     
• link to itunes or amazon for a sample of the song
• embed the youtube clip (instructions here)
• post just song lyrics  
• post multiple songs, if you can't choose just one.

Include the composer and/or musician and source (book, album). Perhaps also include  the amazon or itunes link if there is one.  no explanation required, no other revelation necessary. 

One last thing- Perhaps add an image. a photo. a video. a painting. a collage., if you would.

 

(we're not file-sharing; we're link sharing.)

Add a comment with your link. 

I'll create a typepad page with the links, so others can hear the song, see the image and share in the experience. 

The Request:

If you are intrigued enough, post on your blog about this Day of Sharing Song. Link to this post.

Send an email to encourage your friends to post. 

Pass along this info to any groups in which you participate.

Who couldn't use a few new songs in their hearts?

Thanks, LK, for contacting me about this event. Music inspires, heals, and uplifts. I've got so many songs that I won't be able to narrow it down to just one. This is a wonderful challenge!

[Mary Beth Shaw]

Oh yes!!! The only thing is *which* song as I have one for each and every mood, tee, hee!!!
So glad you have had the inspiration to do this, faboo :-)

[Nelesc]
