Well I had written this post on the advent of mother’s day but it is worth resharing it on the advent of women’s day, after all mother is also a women who cradles you, takes care of you.
Happy women’s day!! 🙂
On the advent of mother’s day, I went to my iPod, and listened to the song mother by the greatest band, Pink Floyd. Well this song made me tear-eyed, and it makes up all the characters each and every mother in this world.
This song is actually is divided into 2 distinct verses- one verse is a conversation of a very young boy with his mother, and the other verse talks about the conversation between an adolescent/adult man with his old mother. The mother is the most endearing and kindest person in the world. She is the person, who always has to answer the questions of a child. Moreover she always takes care that the answers are not too harsh, and are not demeaning, but rather they are optimistic,positive and encouraging, even when the latter(reality) is the bitter truth. Mom always takes care of us when we are sick and…
It has being a long time since I written my earliest type of article the song chronicles, it will be the first time I will publish this type of article on my new blog. This time the song that has taken some considerable time in my life is this velvet glove, it starts off on a rather interesting guitar piece, and the feel of the song is a little spiritual rather i should say philosophical.
One of the most difficult thing in our life is to live in the present, it is an irony that it should be a difficult thing but it is so. We either are lost in the thoughts about our future or past. Well the same thing happened to me too, a few years ago as well as a few days back I was a bit lost in the memory lane of my dark past, this song did take my breath away and it made me figure this song out on my beloved piano. As I was saying my past is a little ‘close to my skin’ even though it is not so memorable. I’m trying really hard to move on rather I’m still to trying to settle in my present(Sittin’ by the phone I’m left alone In another zone)it is not so easy to do that(someone who has been I’m falling in). People suggest me that it is better to move on and not dwell on my past but enjoy the moment after all it is not an easy task(John says to live above hell My will is well). During some times in my life, there have been instances when I thought that people were just expecting me to fail, but these present times are not that times, the present life that I have being the best days of my life, there is a saying that old habits don’t die so easily so I think it is an old habit that might be lingering behind that has being troubling me(no one is waiting for me to fail my will could sail)
After reading all this you might just feel that all that I’m doing is that I’m wasting my precious time thinking about the past and speculating that the past does not repeat itself in the future. But I believe that past is something that you should carry with yourself and it should be a source of your inspiration for living your present life. At times I feel that my past is just another best friend I have in my life who has being with me through thick and thin, but at the same time I feel that this guy has just over stayed his life, and now whenever an opportunity prevails for him to come up he comes up eagerly and tell me his dream(I want to taste the taste of Being face to face with common grace To meditate on the warmest dream And when I walk alone I listen To our secret theme). He tells me that his dream is to see you on the top of this world, I want to see you succeed in life. Even though my past is just a thought the lyrics of the song tell me the truth and it makes me imagine my past as a friend.
Some dreams of your past and your present are one and the same thing…
As I look into his(the past) eyes, they are clear unfortunately they are filled with hate for this world, besides this these eyes are so clear that you can see through him feel what he feels, they speak the truth. The truth behind the fact that even though I might have moved on from the past, he will follow me into the future and he will dictate me what I should do in my life. The real deal is to choose between two things the dream of my past or the dream of my present(Your solar eyes are like Nothing I have ever seen Somebody close That can see right through I’d take a fall and you know That I’d do anything I will for you).
The Chorus, maybe one of the most powerful and energetic chorus I ever listened to                      Â
One of the most powerful lyrics I have ever heard
As I move on with my life, I work for my future a bright future, well everyone works like that not just me.(Sailin’ for the sun ‘Cause There is one Knows where I’m from I care for you I really do I really do).One thing I want to showcase this world is that I’m what I’m in the present and not what has become of me because of my past. It is one of the difficult things to do, rather it is one of the few things I’m struggling with in my present. But as I try to move on and start believing that the past doesn’t define you but the good things that happen in my life define you, my dreaded and dear friend the past returns, he comes up because I unintentionally called him back.( Come closer now So you can lie Right by my side Sit alone in the sun I wrote a letter to you Getting over myself)
This time I tell him the truth that I have finally moved on and I don’t need you anymore besides this he again remind me of ‘our secret theme’. As you unintentionally think about your past and thing about the time you have moved on from it, you will observe a pattern a pattern regarding how your life turned out after you moved, this pattern tells you that the truth that you found it hard to believe earlier- the past does not repeat itself. The thing that happen to you in your life is the most unlikely ways are not among the signs that the past is going, but they are an indication that such things are a part and parcel of the real world affecting you. You will realize that disaster or rather I should say that the unlikely events that happen in your life is the real world’s way of making you stronger and cleverer for facing it boldly and not running away from it(Disasters are Just another star Falling in my yard John says to live above hell My will is well). The bitter irony you shall see from this is that the past from which you are trying to move away from, will eventually catch up with your present self, and it will make you realize one of the strangest things in life- the joy that you get from running from it is less than the happiness you acquire when you hold onto your dreaded friend the past(Long to be with Someone to tell I love your smell). It painstakingly tell you that you will eventually succeed in your life and that you can never get rid of me in your life because I’m (the past) just a part of you.

Well I always wanted to write a blog about this song, because this song grew on me as days passed in Hyderabad. When I first listened to the song, I wasn’t able to completely relate to it, but spending almost 6 weeks in Hyderabad, having so many experiences, events happening and things changing, the song is relatable, each and every word of the song is quite relatable.
The song begins on a simple, elegant and straightforward acoustic guitar riff, and when you listen to the lyrics, you will figure out the song has sad tone to it.

Well, just yesterday, I listening to my music on Ipod, and I wasn’t paying much attention to it, as I was looking at another screen- computer screen, but I don’t remember what I was looking on the internet, but at that time I stumbled upon this great song on my Ipod. After the song ended, I replayed it, and saw it was from my favorite band Coldplay, and the song’s name was”In My Place”.
I again played that song, and I wasn’t paying much attention to the lyrics, I was very happy that I found a perfect song to figure out on my keyboard, so I was fully focused on the background music, which was pretty neat and simple. The song has one of the most energetic chorus, and intro of the song is just captivating. Well, I gave the song a number of listens, and then I said to…
This song has being in my head for quite some time, and day after day I’m neglecting my responsibility to write an article about this song, which has so much relevance in this 21st century world of ours. The song’s name is “Astronaut”, and it is by a band Simple Plan. All I can say about this song is that it has instigated me to figure this song out on keyboard, as well as I’m amazed by the fact that this song has being written by a punk rock band. Usually punk rock bands don’t write such song, but all i can is thumps up to this band for this song.
The song begins on these lines, the picture emphasizes the true meaning indeed

Poetry, music, creative writing and a desire to inspire....Isaiah 45:2-7 I will go before you and will level the mountains[a]; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. 3 I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord
