Music To Inspire
Kamahl – Desiderata
This gift (meaning ‘things that are desirable’ in Spanish) was written in the 1930s – ageless and timeless, it is an inspirational message for all people. Listen carefully to the lyric.
Barbara Streisand – Somewhere
A future that we can all aim for. Another special message from an equally special performer.
Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World
What A Wonderful World focuses on the ‘good stuff’. In loving memory of my dear dad, John Walcott (1930-1991) who taught me about the many wonders of the world. This song was one of his favourites. Thanks Dad. I love you.
Doris Day – Que Sera Sera
A song I used to sing along with when I was a little boy. To me, it said that whatever I might wish or want to happen,’ whatever would be would be’. I would just then have to manage the outcome. Remember ‘the only thing you have absolute control over is your attitude’. It’s easy.
Elton John – The Circle of Life
The reality for us all. Our legacy is as important as our life. If we can all leave this world in a better state than when we entered it, we have truely achieved. Remember – it doesn’t cost a cent to change the way you think.
Barbra Streisand – A Piece of Sky
From Yentyl the movie – the story of a struggle against the status quo into a new freedom. Yentyl is guided by her father in his life and his death (as am I).
Elton John - Your Song
Elton John’s song to his partner and producer (Bernie Taupin) back in 1970, before it was ‘OK to be Gay’. I was an out & proud young activist for human rights back in the early gay rights days of the 20th century.
Heather Small – Proud
A challenge to each of us to change the way we think and achieve new heights. All things are possible. The vision goes where the energy flows!
