Music wont save my life but it sure can help

I bought the new Jagger ALbum which is great. There is one track on it with Jagger and Bono which is brilliant, so uplifting. It helps me get out of my own way and back into life.

Joy

Oh joy love you bring
Oh joy make my heart sing

And I drove across the desert
I was in my four wheel drive
I was looking for the Buddha
And I saw Jesus Christ

He smiled and shrugged his shoulder
And lit a cigarette
Said jump for joy
Make some noise
Remember what I said

My soul is a like a ruby
And I threw it in the earth
But now my hands are bleeding
From scrabbling in the dirt
And I look up to the heavens
And a light is on my face
I never never never
Thought I'd find a state of grace

Hey joy
Love you bring
Oh joy
Make my heart sing
Oh joy
Joy in everything

Joy joy joy oh joy
Joy joy joy oh joy

I was drowning in the darkness
As I drove down to the sea

Joy joy joy oh joy

And I looked up to the mountain
And the light burst over me
Joy joy joy oh oh joy

You make me sing
Joy [cont]

Oh joy
The love you bring
You make me sing
Oh joy
In everything
In everything
Everything

Jump for joy
Jump for joy
Jump for joy

And I looked up to the mountain
And the light burst over me
Joy joy joy oh oh joy

Cool lyrics!

Music is truly a great part of life--especially when it can help celebrate and bring joy!

I love to listen and I love to play music. Now I just have to learn to love it sober!

Oh, and I love to dance to it too

Now I loved those lyrics and could almost hear the melody...music is a big part of my recovery...one of my favorites is Blowin In the Wind....!

I like songs that tell a story or make something happen that I can see in my mind like those words to your song.

I am feeling better but getting angry with my computer again. I type too fast and the keys on this key board need to be pushed harder than most do.

I keep missing letters...guess I am tired too. Should quit...am hitting the wrong keys now.

Had a good Christmas Dinner...my daughter and her husband came here to cook it...we had a pleasant afternoon.

Hope you had a nice Christmas Day.
