Music is half of my life. I can’t imagine my life without music – no matter what style. I love to listen to music but I love even  more to make music. Music is vibration. Music is expression. Music carries endless messages and it doesn’t matter whether with or without lyrics. We can express our feelings through a song. When we are open-hearted we get insights, solutions, or confirmations when a certain song is played at the right moment.

I often speak through songs. That means when I have something important to say to someone I pick a song which expresses what I want to transmit. I used music this way all my life.

This morning I was curious turning on the radio because I thought what might be the first song I hear today – and I had an idea. From now on I will make it an effort to post every day that song which comes to me first. I want to see what I can relate to it and pass it on to you in order to make you think if it speaks to you in a way. I hope you like this idea. I will also create a page in order to collect all the songs.

The first Song of the Day is:

Talking about a revolution – Tracy Chapman

Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know they’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

Poor people are gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people are gonna rise up
And take what’s theirs

Don’t you know you better run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no

While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no

Wikipedia says: “Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution” is the second single from singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman’s self-titled debut album. The politically aware song failed to replicate the success of its predecessor, “Fast Car”, and peaked at #75 in the United States. However, it also managed to chart on four other charts maintained by Billboard (which brings out the weekly US chart) and reached the top forty in two of them.

Although it might not be the perfect lyrics I immediately thought of Kruti’s interview she posted yesterday about the horrible conditions for women in India.

Now think what, does it say to you? Perhaps a personal revolution?

In Love and Light!
