The Day Before The End of The Year we Called 08"

Well here we are at the end of an amazing year. Of course the huge news of Barack Obama being elected our commander and chief tops the list in my eyes. It was a year that went by too fast but they seem to go faster every year. I wonder what is too come in 2009 and also look back at how old i was 10 years ago and notice that i really don't remember much. I do know that in that time i did learn a lot and experienced a lot of things that i learned from that have made me who i am now 10 years later. The world changes on a daily basis and we can be assured that it will keep changing more and more no matter what. We all have to learn from the things we encounter in life and strive to live our lives to the fullest. I know i seem to be going on and on and on but i feel that a nice end of the year rant will be a nice way to end this post. Oh by the way i did say i wanted to make this a music blog now and i will be putting up a few songs as well (4 to be exact)

First off we have A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke. This song gave me chills the first time i heard it and was amazed to hear the reason behind why Sam Cooke did this song. It goes in the way of Sam Cooke being moved by Bob Dylans "Blowin' in the Wind" and wondered why such a powerful song about racism in America could come from someone who was white. Sam Cooke then wrote the first draft of A Change is Gonna come oh his tour bus in 1963. Enjoy!

Sam Cooke- Change is Gonna Come

Next we have a little tune by Trent Reznor some may remember it from the album "The downward spiral" called The Becoming. This cut is from the double album "And All That Could Have Been". I happen to enjoy the mix of this version more because of the acoustic guitar and piano matching perfectly yet letting the vocals still keep the intensity. Check it out!


Nine Inch Nails- The Becoming

Ok now we have some soul POWER! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! The hardest working man in show business!!!!! Mr. James Brown! This tune titled "Its a Mans World" This song might sound like its a song praising men but the line "nothing without a woman or a girl." shoes honest truths to how our world really is. This song also was co written by a females by the name of Betty Jean Newsome. Hope you dig it!

James Brown- It's a Man's World

Last but not least is a song that might be nice to listen to on Monday morning on your drive to work. It's called Monday By a band from Australia Called The Living End. This song has great energy and just kind of has that "bleh" feeling you have on Mondays but also that little boost that you need to get through the day. Hope you enjoy it like i do on Mondays!

The Living End- Monday

Well as i nod off asleep as i type i wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!!!! I'm looking forward to it very much. I wish well to all my family members, friends and loved ones especially my mom, dad, brother and Hilda. I love you guys! Thanks for the memories in 08" I can't wait to make new ones in 09" Till then!! PEACE!!!
