@bakubroo I first want to say, I'm sorry for the troubles you are going through right now. I know parents can seem insensitive to our feelings as well as the troubles that we face. They sometimes respond "What troubles could you possibly be facing at your age?" Parents often forget what it was like growing up. Don't be too harsh towards them. Sometimes the best approach to take when wanting to talk to your parents, you first need to wait until one of them is by themself, you have fewer distractions and you have a much greater chance of getting their undivided attention. Once you pour out your heart to them, they will in return discuss your problem with your other parent. I have found this approach to be more successful for me when I needed to have a serious talk with my parents. Your parents care about your well-being, and your emotional state, just be sincere as well as honest to them about your feelings. They will listen.        I hope you get through the trial you are going through right now. I wish you the best. You take care and stay safe as well.  ... View more

Good Wednesday morning, I will be adding four songs to the GSOTD post and playlist. The first song that will be added is brand new this week, it has been requested by the artist himself Mr. Phil Klein ( @philmobet ) the title of his new song is With and Without You (Reimagined) (Single). I have listened to this piece myself and I must say it is a real sexy Classical Jazz piece, I know you will also enjoy it. Have a great Wednesday, enjoy the music.    Classical Jazz//Bluegrass: With and Without You (Reimagined) (Single) by Phil Klein ( @philmobet )  With and Without You (Reimagined)    Phil’s music has been played over 10,000 times on US and European television and over three million streams on Pandora radio. His recordings feature the cream of SF Bay Area musicianship including current members of Santana, Tower of Power, The Yellow Jackets, and The Doobie Brothers. Christian Contemporary//Gospel: Believe For It (feat. Lauren Daigle) by CeCe Winans.  Believe For It   Nashville, TN  Grammy-winner Lauren Daigle joins the iconic CeCe Winans for a powerful rendition of Winans #1 hit “Believe For It". The fan-favorite song about belief and trust is completely re-imagined as Daigle and Winans combine their illustrious vocals. Winans says, “Having Lauren record ‘Believe For It’s with me was a joy. This song touches every generation, and having Lauren join me will help spread the powerful message of faith even further.” Electro: Life Is Better With You by Michael Franti & Spearhead. Life Is Better With You  Life Is Better With You song from the album All People (Deluxe) was released in Jul 2013. Pop: Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae. Put Your Records On   ‘Put Your Records On,’ from English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae’s self-titled debut studio album, was one of the greatest summer songs of 2006. The song’s opening is reminiscent of Bob Marley’s ‘3 Little Birds’ and the mentality that ‘everything gonna be alright!’ Hopefully, until sometime tomorrow, take care and stay safe.  ... View more

@Fratty I have created a playlist just for work, I work outside (I'm a landscaper, tree cutter) I'm also my own boss, the only time I would not listen to my music is if the customer requested me to not listen to my music, (never has happened thus far) I will post my work playlist if you like it, great, and if you don't like it, well that is great too. Work Playlist you take care and stay safe.  ...
