The end of this year is nearing fast. For many it will have been a horrific year, for others the year of opportunities to Connect to Life, Others, Yourself. In whatever state of mind you are, music is a wonderful tool to accompany your mood. That is what this week’s Soul Music choice is all about…
Life is finite
Although some of us seem to deny it: life is finite. No rich person, politician, CEO, baker, teacher, you or me will be able to change that. Life can be harsh, it can be unfair and all we can do is take responsibility for how we deal with whatever comes our way. Or in other words: “Better live now before the grim reaper, come knocking on your door”.
Sometimes it just feels good to go crazy!
So take a pause right now, raise the volume of your speakers, let’s go crazy and go through this thing called life ; -)
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Lyrics
Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life it means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you there’s something else
The afterworld, a world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left?
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
‘Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
This life you’re on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy punch a higher floor
If you don’t like the world you’re living in
Take a look around you at least you got friends
Come on lady for friendly word
She picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor
Ahh, ahh is all I heard
Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down, oh, no let’s go
Let’s go crazy, let’s get nuts
Look for the purple banana
‘Til they put us in the truck, let’s go
All excited but we don’t know why
Maybe it’s ’cause we’re all gonna die
And when we do, what’s it all for
Better live now before the grim reaper
Come knocking on your door
Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down, oh, no let’s go
Let’s go crazy, let’s get nuts
Look for the purple banana
‘Til they put us in the truck, let’s go
Come on baby let’s get nuts
Yeah, crazy
Let’s go crazy
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let’s go, go crazy
I said let’s go, go crazy
Let’s go, let’s go, go, let’s go
Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
He’s comin’
He’s comin’
Comin’
Take me away

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.
