Besides being a wonderful tool to Connect people, music is also a matter of taste. This week the choice of Soul Music is therefore not from the original composer and singer. The lyrics still the same and the message still as important.
Imagine
The end of 2020 approaching, the holiday season about to start and taking the current global situation in consideration, the song Imagine came to mind. To me, the pandemic highlights not only major issues around our world, it also is very clear that we still have a long way to go. To achieve the unity, harmony and peace most of us strive for.
Some of you maybe want to mock me for not liking the voice of John Lennon. It is your right to disagree with me, however, our different taste in music should not be a reason to judge me. We are entitled to our own opinions, not entitled to have everyone share yours.
It is a simple example of how a conflict could arise. Someones taste is not a definition of a person’s personality. If we just could embrace each others differences, value it as our species strength, the world would be a far more peaceful place. An illusion? Imagination? Or could kindness, compassion and acknowledgment result in love?
Maybe I am a dreamer, I hope you join me ; -)
Imagine - Shakira
Lyrics
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Soul Connection
There are many ways to Boost Your Soul and music is a fantastic one. There are a variety of genres you can listen to, even Soul Music is a genre in itself. To me, music is also a way to Connect with your Soul. A tool to help you go through emotions and acknowledge them. Depending on your mood, there will be always a piece of art that goes along with it. What I love most about music is how it can Connect people.

It’s a song I play on the guitar (as I do with many John Lennon songs) – just fabulous. It was an appropriate song for Shakira to perform at the UN ☺️
He was a marvelous artist, no doubt. Thanks for connecting again!
