I have spent much of my life searching for music that reaches beyond. I have said, more than once, “Music can change people’s lives. Music can change the world.”
Do you think that’s true? Am I really convinced it’s true?
I am want to go day by day listening [in] to songs that speaks to my soul. That nails me. That moves me. That motivates me.
More accurately, I’m going to be searching for things that make my life rock. Music that actually has me, Frank Jenks ROCKING ON PURPOSE. So I will fill my iPod with music that I’ve discovered and deciphered which dives deeper into our collective souls (pun intended). I also hope others, like you who’ve had songs elevate your life, lift up even more music that I will seek out and have it do some heavy lifting for me.
Now if there is a bunch of us who want more out of life, and want more for others in this world...it will be proof positive that music definitely can change lives. For the better.
So more specifically, what do I need to work on? Give more grace. Eat healthier. Be more positive. Exercise when I don’t feel like it. Drop pounds. Get more work done. Let creativity flow. Volunteer more. Shine more light. Feel more secure. Be a better husband. Be a better dad. Watch less crap. Find more meaning. I have to stop typing...
Will music do it? Can I do it?
And if I am to believe my own words (and work), I am going make a pointed effort to surround my sounds with what pushes me to greatness.
I will list the songs that illuminate my soul. If you want to comment, or suggest, or rail, or layout some screed...there’s time and space here to do so.
Welcome. I am on a music mission for life and love and lifting. Let’s go. (Hey, will that old song from The Cars work?).
