G’day dear friends and readers, I’m still bristling and bubbling from Xavier Rudd’s concert last Saturday night, and on this Thursday, another day of Ivor being an old plumber at work, the attached song seems both inspiring and appropriate for me this week. Please enjoy his music and lyrics.
Xavier Rudd Lyrics
“Growth Lines”
The sting of daylight through the blinds
And he could smell her on the drapes by the phone
She left it ringing for so longAnd I believe we are done
And I agree we had fun
We can hold our heads high
‘Cause we could only try
Yeah, we came so far
And we gave it our all
We can walk with pride
TonightBound by the stories of the growth lines on their hands
A fork in the road would someday come
And said I love you to the moon and back
Used to seem so damn far
And I believe we are done
And I agree we had fun
We can hold our heads high
‘Cause we could only try
Yeah, we came so far
And we gave it our all
We can walk with pride
Tonight
Floating in the ocean
Heart beating like a drum
I’m singing Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
And I’m floating in the ocean
Heart beating like a drum
Singing Hallelujah into the setting sun

I just wrote a blog about the magic of live music. There is something about all music — live or recorded — connects us all. Causes us all to soar above every day and into the clouds. Love this.

How wonderful, Ivor!
Xavier’s music is so powerful and a joy to listen to!
I like how after attending a live concert the music keeps the listener company…good company…in the days and weeks ahead…bringing smiles, encouragement, and pondering! 🙂
I can’t imagine life without music!
Keep bristling and bubbling! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
