MELODIC HEARTBREAK
In the sleepy town of Willowbrook, there lived a young musician named Oliver. With his guitar in hand and a heart full of dreams, he strummed his melodies, hoping to captivate the world with his heartfelt tunes. His music carried the pain of lost love, the soaring joy of new beginnings, and the bittersweet ache of heartbreak.

Music 🎶
My first ever experience of music was Northern Soul. I would be around 9 years old in the “Care System “ as my mum couldn’t cope with us. My sister and I went to Holly House in the hills far away from “home.”It was pretty alright when you got used to the routine you had to follow. They had a converted Garage as a dance disco common room. And this was my real first memory of soul and Jazz. You can’t hurry love by the supremes was my favorite, as I had met a boy ( I know 9! I was infatuated) All my childhood if anything happened with my mum going out and us not knowing where or when she was to return would be a “Grunt “ from my stepfather that she had run away with a blackman. So I had been brought up to believe Black people were Bad. I had never met a black person until I went to Holly House and when I was dancing and singing to my track You can’t hurry Love , I swear my feet left the ground at one point. Northern soul and Jazz you couldn’t pull me away from it.

Every Song A Memory. Top Story - May 2023.
If I said my life were not defined by music, I'd be disingenuous to the medium that has shaped the artist you see sitting here at her kitchen table in a cut-off t-shirt, tattooed, watching my pet make her slow and arduous recovery. Music has held me together from my earliest memories, has been a guide to my identity, has been a vent for my outrage, and has been my road home. I don't have a collective discography of cohesion. Every melody has come into my life exactly when I needed it. And this last week I needed it more than ever.

Theremin - A Playlist
Introduction The theremin is an unconventional electronic instrument, named after its Soviet inventor LĂ©on Theremin in 1928, and which doesn't require any contact to be operated. The fruit of research into proximity sensors, the theremin's setup is usually consisting of two metal antennas that sense the distance to the player's hands and react accordingly, one controlling the volume of the sound, and the other controlling the frequency and therefore the pitch. By moving both hands in the air and changing the distance to the antennas, musicians produce an eerie electronic sound.

How BTS Became One of the Most Popular Bands in History
I’ve long been hesitant to write about BTS. When reporting on South Korea, I resisted the expected topics: Korean skin care, plastic surgery, dogmeat, and, yes,K-pop.I absorbed Western critiques of K-pop’s girl and boy bands: that they’re fluffy, manufactured, and exploitative of their members—as if the same weren’t true of New Kids on the Block. But, earlier this year, BTS became inescapable. The group was everywhere, and everyone seemed to be into them. To continue ignoring the BTS phenomenon was to risk missing something bigger than Beatlemania.

Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues."
I've always taught my kids and grandkids that history repeats it's self, always. No matter if we want to acknowledge that or not as human beings doesn't matter because it's a fact that cannot be ignored and the absolute truth I have of that is one song, "Inner City Blues" by Marvin Gaye.
