What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

[MrMoonlight]

this is the song I listened to when coming out of my coma. It was randomly on my iPod when the ICU nurse put the earbuds in my ears and pressed play.

Its beautiful. New beginnings and all those feels.
When my best friend first got sick I started sending her tracks everyday. It became our thing. Two years ago music just fell out of my life for the most part. This thread is a cool balm to my soul.

Listening to the music of my youth - I had this album on cassette tape and wore it out because I played it so often.

I'm glad you found it again...does similar to me at times. What a nice thing you did for your friend. Many times I can't really type here unless I'm first distracted by music...kinda lets me flow sometimes. Anyway, I'm glad you are here and reconnecting. I enjoy listening to the music choices other people here make.

Came to post this. But pure bliss listening to the beatles and Erik Satie @MrMoonlight ❤

Didnt know you had been in a coma, what piece of music to come back to :hug:

Love that song you posted. I challenge anyone to remain still while listening. I had double pneumonia, ARDS, Valley fever..they put me in a coma for 12-13 days. They removed the bottom part of my right lung and the sack that surrounds both. I had to learn to walk and use a fork again. A very difficult time for me. That song was perfect and puts me in a melancholic mood when I hear it. I really like Erik Saties simplicity.

Oh wow @MrMoonlight goodness me, what a thing to go through, so glad you came through all of that! Was it a long time ago? You really are a survivor :hug:

Listening to your songs earlier, sounded so good I connected my phone to the speaker and have filled the room with beautiful music this afternoon. Cant remember the last time I played music from my calming playlist. Thanks :)

Was it a long time ago?

It was during the middle of my self imposed isolation 12 years ago. I was really lucky to live through that...my family was looking into grave sites it was that serious. Emergency chest tubes through the front and sides of my chest...from a smaller diameter to the size of a mans finger...maybe 5 or 6 before they induced the coma, I was awake for it. They said I really had a tough time...blood all over the emergency room flore. I saw the white light and did the whole NDE thing talking to what I perceived at the time to be God. I went through some hellish things while in the coma. The ventilator was starting to breathe too much for me and that was a risk. They were going to have to do a tracheotomy because they can only keep the tubes down your throat for so long. I had reached the point where it was sink or swim and they got me off the machine. I lay in ICU for some time. I was unable to stand or use my hands in any meaningful way. Grasping a fork was terribly difficult as was walking. I started with just a few steps when I got home...then a few more...to the mailbox...half way around the block...around the block...etc. I really am a survivor @berlinda ...of a couple of things and a witness to others. It's enough you know...I just want peace.
