Let Your Love Flow

It's Today's Music. I love this song. But then I love so many. [grin]

I'm going to learn to play this on the bass. Wish I knew the notes. I can pick them out by ear, but it takes a long time. I lack the skill and experience of real musicians to just jump in and play. I wish I could. Playing music. Singing music. When a song touches me in truth my heart is truly exposed. Very dangerous. Very exhilerating!

There's a story I want to write. It's just an idea right now. I don't even have character names. But what if there was a Power which could transport beings into songs? The Main Character gets placed into a song, and from there she/he must find their way out before they are lost forever in the "dark songs of death"?

What do you think? Too stupid? Or should I check it out? Let me know what you think.

Meanwhile, if you're interested in the words to the Bellamy Brothers', Let Your Love Flow, these are the words I use to sing along with the music. Listen and feel happy. I do.

There's a reason for the sunshine in the sky
And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season when that love light shines all around us

So let that feeling grab you deep in side
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go steeling through the moonlit nights with your lover

Just let your love flow with the mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing and
Let your love bind you to all living things and
Let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason

There's a reason for the warm, sweet nights and
There's a reason for the candlelights
Must be the season when those love rites shine all around us

So let that wonder take you into space
and lay you under it's loving embrace
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back

(Repeat 3x)

Just let your love flow with the mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing and
Let your love bind you to all living things and
Let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason

You know what I'll say about your story: go for it! You can't know what will work till you try it.

You sound like you're on a roll at the moment.

"You sound like you're on a roll at the moment."

Maybe. Hope so.

I feel guilty about leaving Swords of Fire right now. I am posting on SOF - The People, but that's only about Tavaar, and it's stuff that's already written. First draft stuff.

But I'm thinking I need a holiday, and since the Muses have decided to pay a call, I figure I should just go with them a while and play.
