Happy New Year!

Here is my music playlist for January.

It’s all about circles ’round the sun, a new creation in time, darkness and cold, love and loss, cabin fever, and finding the strength to pray and work for peace.

  6. A tune I wrote this year:

    Pain, it’s everywhere
    Pain, it’s everyone
    If you walk, if you don’t
    If you talk, if you can’t or you won’t

    Chorus
    Pain it’s everywhere, pain it’s everyone, it’s everywhere and everyone

    Pain, it’s the poor
    Pain, it’s the rich
    Pain on the mountaintop
    Pain in the ditch

    Chorus

    So heal the wound, dry the tear
    Take a hand, ease the fear

    Hope can be anywhere,
    Hope can be anyone
    Anywhere and anyone
    It might be anywhere

  11. Thank you for this list. Only 25? Much appreciated.

    Since I’m not really a music person, I’ll take one of these a day….hence my ‘only 25’ comment. I’ll fill up January with these.

    I wish I listened more to music, this will help kick off the new year with a hope to listen more, a bigger variety, along with hoping to read more, too.

    Happy Nee Year to you and to all posters here!??
