Good Thursday evening to you, I'm sorry to say, but that will not tag your friend. If I may make another suggestion that could get your friends' attention. Create another post, and have your friend's user name in the title of the post. Once they come back into the community it will be there for them to see. Every so often you may have to make a reply in the post so it stays near the top of the page and not hidden.  I wish you the best in finding your friend. Take care and stay safe.  ... View more

@Poprocks Next month will be two years since my second oldest brother Donnie took his own life, to this day I'm devastated, we have always been a close family, I had 13 siblings, now 12 since his passing. We all confided in one another, we have always been helpful to one another, and we always protected each other. I have questioned myself a million and one times, "What could I have done to prevent his suicide?" "Why was I so blind to not see the signs?" I live with these questions every day. And so does all the rest of my siblings.    My point is this, we all have valleys and mountains we face in life, some are steeper than others, and some are a cakewalk. How we face it and how we decide to face it will determine how easy or how hard the climb will be. When you climb your mountain alone then you have just decided to make it that much harder. That is what my brother Donnie had decided, he chose to climb his alone, you don't have to, there is always someone you can reach out to. You may be shocked at the support you receive, don't be too proud to ask for help, for support.  I wish you all of the best in your life, and I also wish you great success. You take care and stay safe.  ... View more

@kayden_S thank you for the support, and when you can, could you post Bmost's music, I mentioned it in my post, but I cannot add it to the GSOTD playlist, it is explicit. Thank you.  P.S I will be looking over some of your selections to add to the GSOTD post and playlist. I will also be sure to mention you and your post as well. Thanks again, be safe. ... View more

Good Wednesday morning, I will be adding three songs to the GSOTD post and playlist. Have a great Wednesday, enjoy the music.   Country: More Of You by Chris Stapelton &  wife Morgane. More Of You   Stapleton’s wife Morgane joins in harmony vocals. This is a Chris Stapleton original, co-written with Ronnie Bowman. Stapleton is a country classicist, so his songs often sound more like songs from the mid-20th century than they do like other modern country chart-toppers. Indie Folk: Fit In by KT Tunstall. Fit In   “Fit In” by KT Tunstall was released on May 5, 2017, as part of the soundtrack for the long-delayed film 3 Generations (formerly titled About Ray). The film revolves around Ray, a trans teenager who wants hormone treatment, played by Elle Fanning, and deals with his exploration of and struggle with identity and coming of age as does the song. Sonata//Piano Sonata//Classial: Piano Sonata No.14 In C Sharp Minor ("Moonlight") Op 27/2 by Ludwig van Beethoven.   Piano Sonata #14 In C Sharp Minor, Op. 27/2, "Moonlight" - 1. Adagio Sostenuto    The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. The popular name Moonlight Sonata goes back to a critic's remark after Beethoven's death. Hopefully, until sometime tomorrow, take care and stay safe.  ... View more

Hope to see you around more. You take care and stay safe.   ... View more

Have a great evening. You take care and stay safe.  ... View more

Good Tuesday afternoon, I do hope everyone had a very enjoyable Labor Day weekend, I will be adding thirteen songs to todays' GSOTD post but will only be adding four songs to the GSOTD playlist. The reason for that is very simple, @mostentertainme has requested support for Bmosts' music, but all nine songs are Explicit, so I promised I would at least mention Bmosts music in the GSOTD post. So here are the nine songs by Bmost. 1). Round 1 2). This Is Me 3). Pass dat 4). This Time 5). Haters 6). Nutta Butta 7). Make it bounce 8). Bring em on  9). As I lay. Please be a saint and give an ear to Bmosts music, thank you. I will also be adding three songs by request, and this request comes from the artist himself, @floydkelly2012 has requested 1). Sophia  2). Penteerium  3). Dandelion Breeze. I will be adding the fourth and final song. Have a great Tuesday, enjoy the music.  New Age//Alternative: Sophia by Floyd Kelly ( @floydkelly2012)   Sophia   Sophia - This piece of music is in the New Age and Alternative music genres.  I created this in an attempt to elicit world imagery for the listener.  I like to try new chord progressions and while creating this, I was attracted to the way the chords depict a middle-eastern flair.  Sophia was also created as a tribute to a canine friend from long ago. New Age//Alternative: Penteerium by Floyd Kelly ( @floydkelly2012).  Penteerium     Penteerium This piece of music is a re-work of an older piece a few years ago when I was just starting to make music.  The older version was titled "Blue Reflections" and was entered into two categories at the 56th Grammy Awards competition.  Back then, my music-making skills were in development so many cringed at hearing the sound.  I re-worked the piece and I think it's much better now.  This piece of music is in the New Age and Alternative music genres. New Age//Alternative: Dandelion Breeze by Floyd Kelly ( @floydkelly2012).   Dandelion Breeze (Flight Mix)    Dandelion Breeze - I like to review the music I have created over the years to see where I can re-work a piece to hone my skills as a music composer and sound mixer.  I chose to re-work Dandelion Breeze because of its simple structure - except this time adding the cool synth tones to create a feeling of lightheartedness.  Dandelion Breeze is originally from my album "Escape from Earth" (2016), and this was entered into the 57th Grammy Awards competition.  This piece of music is in the New Age and Alternative music genres.           Thank you and thank you to listeners of my music.  These three pieces are currently considered "The Best of Floyd Kelly" since I started composing music and sound-mixing 8 years ago.  Currently, my library is over 70 pieces of music and I hope to keep learning. Electro: Unreflected by Mazzy Star: Unreflected   Mazzy Star is best known for the song " Fade into You," which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was the group's biggest mainstream hit, earning extensive exposure on MTV, VH1, and radio airplay.  Hopefully, until sometime tomorrow, take care and stay safe.      ...
