Very new to this platform, but very happy to hear that I am not the odd one out, who tries to read, follow and memorize lyrics! And some lyrics really make a lasting impact on me! Thanks for putting this up!

Poetry in motion...perfect description of music J.D. Same here, I think I would go insane without music and poetry!

Sometimes Paul, I don’t want to be found. ? I just want to read and write poetry and listen to music. Forget all the drama! Yes, we definitely took our simple life for granted. I love technology, but there was something magical about listening to the radio and scratchy records.

Yes, the Beetles, Stones, Eagles, KISS, ELO, ABBA, Queen... so many awesome bands. An ocean of music to save the day!

Thanks Jordyn. I didn’t recognize the name Melanie Safka so I looked her up on YT and indeed I sang her song “Brand New Key” about a thousand times when it first came out. I love discovering long forgotten music and seeing what the artists are up to now or the legacy they left behind. I will definitely check out more of Melanie’s music.

I absolutely love this piece and maybe that is because I often find myself doing the same. ❤ You listed quite a few influential people, I was wondering, were you ever a fan of Melanie Safka? (Assuming you know her.) Both her voice and lyrics have a soothing quality to them. She's easily on of my favorites.

Music, Poetry in motion, in my teens, (and still) the salvation to my solitude. lest not forget the Moody Blues, seems we have the same play list.
