I wouldn't have ever called you negative!  We all have our moments, and we're all more than a little anxious right now :-)

Thank you for sharing this video!

Hymn For The Hurting by Amanda Gorman
Everything hurts,
Our hearts shadowed and strange,
Minds made muddied and mute.
We carry tragedy, terrifying and true.
And yet none of it is new;
We knew it as home,
As horror,
As heritage.
Even our children
Cannot be children,
Cannot be.
Everything hurts.
It’s a hard time to be alive,
And even harder to stay that way.
We’re burdened to live out these days,
While at the same time, blessed to outlive them.
This alarm is how we know
We must be altered —
That we must differ or die,
That we must triumph or try.
Thus while hate cannot be terminated,
It can be transformed
Into a love that lets us live.
May we not just grieve, but give:
May we not just ache, but act;
May our signed right to bear arms
Never blind our sight from shared harm;
May we choose our children over chaos.
May another innocent never be lost.
Maybe everything hurts,
Our hearts shadowed & strange.
But only when everything hurts
May everything change.

A couple of nights ago we went to a concert by Ringo Starr and his All Star Band.  

Wow, what a shot of positive energy!!  The entire audience had smiles on their faces, it seemed.  The feeling stayed with us for quite a while afterwards.

Not only was the music fantastic, the mood was just joyous.  Ringo tries to be an ambassador for 'Peace and Love" (his catchphrase) and he succeeds.  

The All-Star Band members are all high-profile, highly skilled, experienced musicians who mostly had hits in the 70's and the 80's: Edgar Winter, Steve Lukather (Toto), Hamish Stuart (Average White Band), Colin Hay (Men at Work), Warren Ham (Toto and Kansas), and Greg Bissonette.  Ringo does a number of Beatles and "Ringo" songs, and each band member leads numbers that were their hits back in the day.  It is a fantastic collaboration and they all look like they are loving it. 

The really crazy thing is that Ringo is 82 and could pass for a fit 55 or 60.  

Anyhow, if you are anywhere near a concert on this tour I highly recommend you try to get tickets and just GO.  You will feel so much happier with the world if you do. 

Remaining tour locations and dates are at https://www.ringostarr.com/tour

There are many amateur videos of the tour on YouTube-- here's a good one:

This song spoke to me very deeply. I hope it can do the same for others:

Enigma - Return To Innocence (Official Video)

https://youtu.be/Rk_sAHh9s08

Lyrics:

LoveDevotionFeelingEmotion
 
Don't be afraid to be weakDon't be too proud to be strongJust look into your heart my friendThat will be the return to yourselfThe return to innocence
 
The return to innocence
 
And if you want, then start to laughIf you must, then start to cryBe yourself don't hideJust believe in destiny
 
Don't care what people sayJust follow your own wayDon't give up and use the chanceTo return to innocence
 
That's not the beginning of the endThat's the return to yourselfThe return to innocence
 
That's return to innocence

While not exactly fitting this category, I wanted to mention I have found a lot of pleasure recently listening to BBC World Service news on Sirius.  It is global, in-depth, informative and honestly, I love listening to their calm peaceful voices.  I also enjoy their in-depth stories about things I didn't know were currently happening in the world  or didn't know happened decades ago.  Yes, U.S. news is covered well , but I like understanding what is happening globally also and this is a great source for both.

If you have access to it, give it a try for a change of pace or for a "slice" of your news pie.

I have another spiritual song for you all that is again from Enigma.

At the very beginning of the song it is sung in sanskrit and just afterwards, there is some Gregorian mantras being sung as well.

The video is really fitting with the song I think. When you see nature and all life contained with in it, and the child like innocence of all living things. It definitely pulls at the heartstrings (well, it did for me anyway haha) but I think it is worth it for the overall message and experience.

Enigma - The Child In Us

https://youtu.be/B1wUVExfkkM

Prasanna vadanaaM saubhaagyadaaM bhaagyadaaMHastaabhyaaM abhayapradaaM maNigaNair-Naanaavidhair-bhuushhitaaM(who is of smiling face, bestower of all fortunes,Whose hands are ready to rescue anyone from fear,Who is adorned by various ornaments with precious stones)
 
Puer natus est nobis,Et filius datus est nobisCujus emperium super humerum(For to us a child is born,To us a son is given:And the government will be upon his shoulder)
 
Some day you cameAnd I knew you were the oneYou were the rain, you were the sunBut I needed both, cause I needed you
 
You were the oneI was dreaming of all my lifeWhen it is dark you are my lightBut don't forgetWho's always our guideIt is the child in us

I think the lyrics might be slightly incomplete because there is definitely more said both in the sanskrit and the Gregorian mantras than is listed in Google. 

Anyway, I hope the song resonates with others.

There is a lot of suffering and difficulties happening in the world right now. But there is a hope I feel in all that pain. 

I feel this song is very fitting and relevant for the world's situation. The music video is also very well done.

Again, this is a song from Enigma, but you will see like the other two, that they each give something different. This one is probably quite a bit different from the other two songs I shared and a more recent song of theirs. They have collaborated with music duo called "Aquilo" who are from Lancashire here in the UK, and provided vocals for this song. 

I have some other videos and songs from other people that I will be sharing either over the weekend or next week. So I hope with those it will capture other people's tastes more, if you are not into this.

Amen

Song by Enigma

https://youtu.be/ZYlNjQ5TTF4

I'm out on a new road in search for a land with no nameAnd I never looked back cause I'm walking through sunshine and rainI'm a man who has lived in the tombs and who's broken the chain
 
Amen x 2
 
I was blind and now I seeWhat I've got is not for meAnd I know, it's time to goI've been usedAnd I've been playedI've been spied on and betrayedAnd I know, it's time to go
 
Watch outI feel the painWatch outI'm alive againThe past is gone for good, it's time to say:
 
Amen x 4
 
In lust I believe I will be foundIn the silence of my nightsI can hear a distant voiceSomeone out there is calling my name
 
Watch outI'm not afraidWatch outI'm beyond the trailIt's time to turn the page and love again
 
Watch outI can feel your painWatch outAnd I cry againI'm leaving all my shadows behind
 
Amen x 4
 
Tentanda Incognita

I know that the US Midterm Elections are coming up for you all, so I couldn't help but take a trip down memory lane to Obama's concert in Washington in 2009 after he won the US Election in 2008 ...

https://youtu.be/EBs6Tvpjl3Y

I hope this song inspires some hope for you all, because I know it is nervous times right now.
