Charles Bukowski // "I was laying in bed one night and I thought, 'I'll just quit. To hell with it.' And another little voice inside me said 'Don't quit. Save that tiny little ember of spark. And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.'"
This weeks playlist is the first of many. It contains nine songs and I’m excited to share every single one with you. The songs included are: Candy, Arms Of A Woman, What’s Going On, When a Man Loves a Woman, River, Bring It On Home To Me, Crazy Love, Lean On Me and One Love.
Hunter S. Thompson // "We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and...in spite of true romance magazines...we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely...at least, not all the time...but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness."
I was sculpting a figurette when I first heard this. That time, I recognized it as jazzy, good to work too. The second time, I realized it was a soulful anthem. Now I’ve listened to it so many times that it's a part of me.
“A Change Is Gonna Come” — written and sung by Sam Cooke. Released in 1964, Cooke was a major voice erupting from the Civil Rights Movement that could no longer be ignored. His voice, unflinching and deeply soulful; acts prophetically in this song. Truly inscribing in stone, “A Change Is Gonna Come.”
