Tuesday Tunes
I always have a wide variety of choices for music to pick from. My music tastes literally run from classical to heavy metal and everything in between. That being said… I am only chosing one per week to discuss. This week I am choosing a cover song. I admit that I never heard the original. I dunno if I would like it as much. I am a big Supernatural fan. It is what got me listening to the song to start with.
Brother (as sung by Jensen Ackles)
Lyrics :
Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert now there’s a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can’t reach that far
I ain’t made for a rivalry I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but
It’s your love that brings me home
My two cents :
Not all family is blood. Not everyone has blood family that they are close to. I have a decent, albeit somewhat distant, relationship with my own sibling. The distant is a physical thing. We chose homes in states hours from each other. So I miss him. To me this song talks about the type of relationship that you never need to question. I have had very few of this type in my life. I can count on one hand how many. Jensen really has an amazing voice and he sings this with so much emotion. Even if you have never seen the show the video will feel like you are seeing family.

To be honest… I do not have the energy to do my usual post. So I thought I would share some memes/funnies with y’all.
Artist Spotlight : Roni S. Healan
From painted rocks to canvases, this lady does some amazing art. She credits the Art Sherpa for inspiring her.
Her journey has been a difficult one. From an abusive relationship, and an illness that she was wondering if it was poison to being alone and struggling to get on her feet. Roni is a strong survivor who has so much talent.
Her creative nature shows up in the wonderful paintings she does. She said that the paintings that are pictured here are all for sale.
She is on Facebook where she hosts an art group. It’s a wonderful group of like minded souls.
She said that she has been suffering from a creative block while she was so ill. And that here lately the need to return to painting has returned. Personally, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
If you are interested in buying…

Whispering titles and cover change
So, I posted previously that my next poetry volume is titled Whispers of the Muse…And I posted the cover design that I had done for it. Well to be honest I was less than impressed with my own design there. I liked some of the elements. I just felt like I had missed the calling with some of the cover. It had the whisper, but not the muse. So I adjusted. Art is supposed to evolve. This is the final adjustment and my official cover reveal.
There is parts of being a artist that drive me even farther crazy at times, but I really do enjoy when I see something work. I would love input? Do you like it? Hate it? and why?
