To be honest, I’m not sure if these lyrics are meant to be about connection or separation. That’s the neat thing about music. The creator has one interpretation in mind when writing it and we, as audience members, bring our own flavours of meaning to the experience when we listen, sing and dance along.

One of my dearest friends, my elder by more than 20 years, often talks about how “music is the soundtrack of our lives”, a quote from Dick Clark. Over the past year, Itunes has transformed the size and scope of my life’s soundtrack. I currently have over 1400 songs loaded into my computer-jukebox, which is an astounding number for a child of the 70’s but a notable pittance compared to the music libraries of the Gen Y/Millenials and their little sisters.

Searching Itunes, for me, is like opening Christmas presents everyday. I have so many jubilant “oh yeah!” moments when I discover long-lost songs of my youth that are available for my enjoyment at the click of a credit card. By comparison to my peers, I didn’t buy that many $30 CD’s when the medium first came into the North American market because I was only inclined towards one or two songs on an album that held the right mix of relevant lyrics and groovy beats to suit my tastes. One Hit Wonders of Pop were pretty much my genre, I’ll admit.

Just last week, I expanded my collection – free of cost – by ripping selections from my husband’s CD inventory. Now I can click my way through “our soundtrack”, a compilation of past and present, from his high-school-angry-white-boy-wanna-be-gangsta days and my lovestruck-pining-after-can’t-have’s days at uni. I threw down $140 for the sweet acoustic glory of a Logitech sub-woofer and speakers and now I’m rocking out to favourites new and old. Sort by genre, set on party shuffle, whatever mood strikes me. And the latest Itunes interface has the super-slick flipping of album artwork that you’ve seen on Iphone and Itouch commercials, directly marketing to us 30-somethings who would gingerly flip through our vinyl covers back in the day. I love you, Steve Jobs.

Back to the point: about a decade ago, a mental health volunteer suggested to me that we should pay more attention to what we listen to. Are we bathing ourselves in apathy, self-loathing and regret by the song choices that fill our heads? Are we weeping vicariously through the gut-wrenching melancholy and desired vengeance on ex-lovers that are expressed by our favourite musical artists? Do those moments of angst turn into a day, a week or a lifetime when set on repeat?

I’m by no means suggesting that you should only have Josh Groban and Charlotte Church loaded on your music players. We all need to head bang to a little Kurt Cobain from time to time. It’s about making a conscious choice of the songs and artists we listen to as a reflection of who we are and the energy that we give and take from the world. Do you want to bass-thump your way down city streets, ready to flip off the next guy who cuts you off? Or, do you want to hop around barefoot in your living room, recalling your dance club days gone by?

Whatever your flavour, I hope you’re having a good time expressing yourself!

Happily Ever After!

Zero Limits the book by Dr Joe Vitale and Dr Hew Len that is coming out soon, is going to be an amazing book. I was blessed to meet both gentlemen, Dr Vitale did the Foreword to my book “The Titus Concept Money For My Best and Highest Good” and Dr Len endorsed it.

They are both simply great individuals!
