Awesome topic…gets One’s brain going….I’m enjoying the replies and perhaps what was listed here in replies could potentially possibly become the Title …Let me put in my 2 cents worth here

“When One Takes Flight “

“Winged Odyssey “

“Songbird’s Return “

“Kaleidscoped”

“Unleashings Of “

“Unravelling “

“The Odyssey Quest “

“Escapement”

I’m sure more ideas will arrive in my mind as this topic has unfurled my imagination to take a journey ….but in the meantime, this all what’s coming to my mind for now and keep all your interesting and insightful title ideas flowing, I’m enjoying the concepts given for the title notions … ????

Well, many songs have that affect on me… too many to list and post YT links of but trust me , they do , songs sung by of course MLT, Patsy Cline, Reba, Vince, Dusty Springfield, Kd Lang, etc , can stirrup tears for me, I feel it’s the combo intertwining of lyrics, the vocal delivery/interpretation, the instrumentation, etc, is what does it for me … I’m a sensitive, emotional, visual person so all the facets I just mentioned above, is the recipe for tears to my eyes in a song I listen to, if it can immediately strike a chord with me , then it’s successful at doing what it is meant to do … We all are receptive, and react differently in our own ways to a song, there is no right or wrong in how it should be received, what matters most is how it affects a person directly …. Yes , while some songs have an intended meaning to convey, etc, it can still be interpretated differently by the listener because to them, it means something different, something beyond what the intended meaning of song is about… within the song, it strikes a chord, for every song, there is something that someone will be affected by it somehow … ☮????

In my elementary school years each grade I was in had a music class day/time, and in Kindergarten, the teacher had an autoharp (like John Sébastian, Mother Maybelle Carter)that I immensely enjoyed her playing, and let us carefully touch, pluck a few strings with care to explore/experience the sound, and I was impressed, must of had an impact to be 53 now and that occurred when I was 5 …lol, and I believe we had a music teacher come in with different instruments, sons to sing when the Kindergarten teacher didn’t play her autoharp …. otherwise, every other year up to Grade 6 before we had to go to a middle school for Grades 7/8, where we had an actual separate music class of it’s own…, getting back to elementary school school music time in class, a music teacher would come in for half hour approx, with a Songbook series we’d sing from , called ” SONGTIME “and whatever Grade you’d be in, that’s what would be used, example “Songtime 4″, and I distinctively and still recall, a bird song we sang.. ” Yellow Bird”-a tropical island type song possibly from Jamaica or Africa, somewheres tropical derivative origins…I also sang in school choir either in Grade 4 /5/6, then again in Grades 7/7/8 ( Yes, I had to repeat Grade 7 )…????????????????

Thankyou, All, it just came to me and I hadn’t posted MLT Poetry in awhile, and I felt it was time to post creatively in an #MLTBuzzLuvGroovified way best I know how, and happy all enjoyed ????

I’m not much of a traveller, or keen on traveling, but I have a few ideas, for song selections…. “My Song ” and ” My Town ” – By Glass Tiger, ” 24 Hrs From Tulsa ” – Dusty Springfield , ” California Dreamin- ” Mamas and Papas, ” and in my country music collections of CDs I have ,as well , that I enjoy, I’m sure there are a few songs too…and many others that aren’t coming to mind at the moment except for ones I’ve mentioned here…but I do have happy memories of the wknd drives and the few times I’ve been to USA for daytrip shopping or a wknd to catch a car race, visiting relatives near Toronto by train, bus, car when I have with family or on my own, going on daytrip /wknd trips to Montreal … I do love tge John Denver/Cass Elliot version of ” Leaving On A Jetplane”, and ” Life is a Highway”- Tom Cochrane …

[Jacki Hopper]

In agreement with both you both Jung and JP …. There’s just that special, resonating factor magic, when those harmonies kick in, one can’t help but just stop, listen, and/or sing along and embrace the true #MLTBuzzLuvGroovified Hold it takes on ya …. Yeppers, the majority of today’s music, for most part just can’t quite have that affect/effect …and I can honestly say that !!
