Turn the music up
Amplify the notes
Send the sound soaring
So everyone can hear
Sing along or
Just shout the words
Move to the rhythm
Let the music take control
Nothing can touch so many
Like a collection of notes together
It brings people closer
And moves so many
Especially now
When we mourn a loss
Crank up the radio
Let the heavens hear
Our songs of healing
This week (Oct 6th) the world of music lost a legend. I am not a musician and can’t even read music, but I know that Eddie could play the hell out of a guitar, not just play it, own it. There are so many great songs he had his hands in it is hard to pick a favorite… instead I went with an instrumental he did to celebrate the outstanding musician he was (who I discovered was self taught).
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – amplify
He was a true artist.
Music connects all sorts of people
Yes, music is universal.
Sad indeed 😦
