Nowhere Man

It's no secret I grew up a Beatles fan.  My mother was one who I can only assume would have been one of the screaming masses if she had the chance to see them live.  So the music and the words had a big impact on me.  It was buried for a few years but deep down the words regardless if they meant for them to come from the heart or no mean a lot.

As mentioned before for the most part were speaking to the eras I they were played.  The late 50s,  60s, and so on.  The music sound based on the tone of the English and American way or thinking for the artists out there.  Breaking the normal sounds that were available at the time.  Their influence on the music world making waves that are settling down to just a lull. 

Music still now has a way of relaxing us,  pumping us up,  or calming us down.  Set the tone for a romantic evening or a more heated evening. 

How many people have that one song that causes our thoughts to shift completely? Take us to a moment in our life, or speak to us in a way that everything else around us drowns out for those few minutes?

I have a few that will still make me zone out and I enjoy just closing my eyes and letting them take me there if not for just that brief moment in time.  Thoughts remembering mistakes,  triumph,  happiness or even sorrow.

What song plays within you?
