An excellent rendition of the Marvin Gaye song which rings true even now with all that is going on.
What's Going On with Sara Bareilles and artists from around the world.

Thank you.... Two of my favorites... really made my day ?
"Michael (Stipe) told Stephen that he's stopped watching the news, gotten off of all social media... and is an 'antenna' )" ?
Michael is an EMPATH of the highest degree ... his example is stellar ... love his new song!
'No Time for Love Like Now'
(...There's no time in the bardo, no time in the in-between ....)
@lovendures Wonderful. Thank you.
One of the BEST Randy Rainbow Videos! Cover Your Freakin Face.
Music is my go to every day. There is music everywhere in my household;-)
That said, I dusted off a CD I hadn't listened to for a year. As it is playing I realize how perfect and uplifting it is for these times. If you can, check out Terry Callier. He is an amazing musician and, looking at his biography, quite an amazing being too.
His songs are too numerous to mention. I recommend listening to a few on YouTube. It will lift your spirit!
I'm sure this should have also been in the "all things Pets" area too but my hubby and I watched the Movie: "A Dog's Journey" last night (with Denis Quaid) and I laughed and cried. It's such a heartwarming movie (Josh Gad is the voice of the dog). I HIGHLY recommend it.

i don't usually like country music, unless it's Alt Country, emphasis on the "Alt". But i heard this on Radio Pacifica today, and wow:
WHEN THIS IS OVER
I HOPE I TAKE A LITTLE LESS FOR GRANTED
I HOPE I’M A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDIN’
WHEN SOME THINGS DON’T MAKE SENSE
WHEN THIS IS OVER
I HOPE I SMILE AT A PASSIN’ STRANGER
TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW MY NEIGHBORS
AND BREAK BREAD EVERY NOW AND THEN
OH, OH, OH CAUSE RIGHT NOW ALL I GOT IS TIME
TO THINK ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE
AND WHAT I HAVE, WHERE I STAND
HOW I LIVE AND WHO I AM
I HOPE THESE HARD TIMES MAKE ME BETTER
NOT JUST OLDER
WHEN THIS IS OVER
I HOPE I STAY OUT OF MY HEAD
AND I’M A LITTLE MORE EMPATHETIC
PUT MYSELF IN PEOPLE’S SHOES
WHEN THIS IS OVER
I’LL KISS THE GROUND AND SEND A PRAYER TO THE SKY
THANK GOD I’M BREATHING AIR AND ALIVE
AND I GET ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU
I HOPE THESE HARD TIMES MAKE ME BETTER
NOT JUST OLDER
WHEN THIS IS OVER
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
RIGHT NOW, ALL I GOT IS TIME
TO THINK ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE
WHAT I HAVE, WHERE I STAND
HOW I LIVE AND WHO I AM
I HOPE THESE HARD TIMES MAKE ME BETTER
NOT JUST OLDER
WHEN THIS IS OVER
-the part where the Oak Ridge Boys kick in, at about 3:02, is just shivers
I don't know how many here are familiar with Walter Mercado? Growing up in a diverse area and being latinx-adjacent/part hispanic, I watched a lot of Spanish language TV growing up. Walter Mercado is this mystical being who used to do a daily astrology show. He's a very special soul - he transcends time and gender.
There is a Netflix documentary about him - "Mucho Mucho Amor, The Legend of Walter Mercado".
In English and subtitled Spanish.
I was moved to tears but also to smiles. If you know him at all, you will love this, but even if not, I think anyone with an intuitive bent or an appreciation for transcendence and love will enjoy his story. And it's nothing too deep, either, it just is.
@unk-p Thank you Unk-P... love this.. and.. it speaks to me today. Hugs.
