5 Songs — 141019 — Baby Steps

Another week. An artist I admire advocates the mindset that it’s a fresh chance to make new choices. For fog to lift. For dawn to come.

I feel perpetually liminal, pressed between hardship and bounty. And maybe that’s just how life is. A tug-of-war wherein we bear the distinct privilege of being the rope, one side or the other at times prevailing in some measure.

Here’s hoping we all drift toward the better fortune of health, safety, stability, contentment, and joy.

This week’s playlist is a selection of 5 of the songs that I learned early on in my forays with singing and as I first mauled a guitar. Thanks for coming.

• Please Forgive Me — David Gray
• Brian Wilson — Barenaked Ladies
• #41 — Dave Matthews Band
• You Had Time — Ani DiFranco
• To Make You Feel My Love — Billy Joel
