I decided a while back, that if I got the chance to BLOG and share myself in this personal way with you, that I would tell you about the heart of my original songs…….just give you a little background to listen with. So, I’ll start with “Sometime’s It’s a Matter of Time”. I guess that when you get right down to it, I’m a hopeful idealistic romantic(WOW, how’s that for a self observation!?). I can’t remember when I didn’t feel that something really wonderful was waiting just around the corner. I just needed to be patient and diligent enough to let it happen.
I’ve lived most of my life believing that if I can’t be exactly where I want to be, it’s best to want to be where I am…….while planning to be where I’d like to be……..at least in the short run. That didn’t mean that I gave up on dreams and striving for something more, though……………
Time is very important to me. Watch my CD covers and you’ll see hints of time in most of them. I collect old pendant watches and grandfather clocks and old ansonia and kitchen clocks. A mechanical clock is something like a living being. You have to wind it and take care of it………and if you DON’T wind them, they grow stiff and may die on you…………..But, care for them and listen to their hearts and the pay off is the tick that reminds me of the heart of the matter. Even the Tin Man was given a clock to remind him that, YES, he really DID have a heart. There’s something kind of alive about the ticking of a clock………and the tick-toc of time passing can be a harsh dose of reality……..that each second is gone so quickly and a reminder that I had better be paying attention…….
But, it can also be a hopeful percussive assurance that this, TOO, shall pass………whatever it is…..maybe it’s something less comfortable to live with………….like being alone and wishing that someone was there to hold me………….or being WITH someone and wishing that they would hold me……..like being without a family to care for…………….like doing work that I wasn’t especially passionate for……………..Sometime’s it’s just a matter of time………..as long as you keep moving forward and remain hopeful and pay attention. If YOUR heart is in the right place……..Sometime’s it IS just a matter of time………..
Keep working in the right direct and think positive and whatever isn’t perfect in your life will get better. I sang “Sometime’s It’s a Matter of Time” for many years. And I am proof that sometime’s it IS just a matter of time. ……………………….
*chuckle*—so far this line of thinking hasn’t worked concerning the lottery……ha, ha……g’night
