A fun song that brings back memories. I don't stone anymore (since the mid 80's when I joined the navy) regardless of how bad I want to.

Johnny Cash, Oasis, Dylan, Alison Kruase to name a few. Lately I have been listening to a band called Imagine Dragons. They are pretty chill. I found it odd that I listen to Joan Baez. I'm not all supportive of her politics, but her voice is like no other. Just my random input. I like a lot of your guys music choices. I'm jamming right now. Being super f'ing vigilant. I'm on a light rail full of who knows what. This forum is getting me through. I hate leaving the house, but I have ha a VA appointment for OT. I had hand surgery last month. Of course from getting drunk and ragging like a son of a bitch.

I stumbled across Imagine Dragons last week. Love 'em. I listen to just about everything except hatred inciting music. I mean just about everything.

I know exactly what you mean by everything. Growing up I listened to everything. I got make fun of by frends but I'm not just going to like music bc it's popular. I need the art of the craft to put me in a few states of mind. I wish I could just keep my earphones in 24/7. The world is so much different when walking downtown jamming to exactly the mood your in. It's such great therapy.

I'm with you on everything there...music drives my moods, so I use it as well. Depend on it. I play the piano when I want to think of nothing, distract myself.

That is awesome you have an instrument. For years I have tried to learn the guitar, but never really committed to it. It's one thing I really want to do. To be able to play some of my favorites on my own would be such a great tool to get my mind set.

My brother-in-law played nothing his whole life until picking up the bango 2 yrs ago. It became his escape and he got a teacher/mentor and by practicing everyday he is already doing well, starting to get on stage a little in the back & started the mandolin. If you got time it is a great distraction.

 

[Spock]

Tears and fears and feeling proud
...
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living ev'ry day
...
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Couldn't find an official vid. Lots of live, but I'm not a fan of most live music.
