I’ll Name That Tuuune?

~ Hope found in M.E.

Hey! Do you have songs that just give you the edge? … continuing a bit of theme here.

Over the years of ME/cfs, many, many times I have relied on music to get me through. Both Worship & Secular music. And I still do.

Particular songs may express how I’m feeling, when I can’t put it into words. Or it may be instrumental, ooh yes, I like that! 

I love music, and before developing ME/cfs I would be the last one still dancing at a party (sober I might add). I was still dancing my socks off at 40, and was active in singing in a variety of settings.

But then ME/cfs created, as I see it, an unwanted hiatus! As I approach my mid-50’s (oh help), I keep hoping that’s what I’ll look back on from a dance floor once again. A…

hiatus hʌɪˈeɪtəs

noun ~ 

~ a pause or break in continuity in a sequence or activity.

Music helps you see beyond the ME/cfs fog!

So, without further ado, I bring you two songs. The first I just want to spin & boogie around to, but can’t. And is a sort of apology to my body, if I’ve not listened too well, (mmm, another recurring theme!)

…and the second is to lift your hands with a woop and a yeah, I’m praising God through it all! I hope you enjoy them.

And… (no I admit, I don’t watch XFactor, too busy for my cogs).

Psalm 150 – NIV

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymbals.

 

God Bless & thanks for popping by.

See you again soon. Will you name a tune? (Ooh, that rhymes! 😊)

  5. I use Spotify. I can go through many moods in one day and they have the best playlists on there for that. So easy to search on there. A world without music would be a world without color for me. It would be so dreary. When I just cannot go anymore, On the headphones go and I power through the pain. Great advice!

    1. Thank you. Ooh yes, my young folk use Spotify & wouldn’t use anything else. And I’m absolutely with you. Music brings so much colout to life & is such a great distraction. You have such a brave attitude. Thanks so much for popping by to read the post.
