'Who knows where the time goes'

2024 and day 61 marks 60 years of time travelling for me and the last for a while of #Musictrax4life

Uk Labour overcome the Tories and in the US Trump overcome Harris on his regressive MAGA agenda. Wars spiral unchecked shockingly.

Some of my family are struggling and many challenges are hard to live with. Voices of sanity and greater things are enough at least to live with some purpose and hope.

When I woke up this morning

2021 and day 58 of my #MusicTrax4Life. Our second year living with COVID-19. Local politics finds #WhitleyBay building its Green Party vote.

Life involves just battling on really. So an upbeat blues track if that's possible here by Colvin & Earl pulls no punches. Great track.

I ain't leaving

2020 and day 57 of this trek through my life alongside my choice of #MusicTrax4Life
The start of the troubled years of the C19 pandemic when I found the moving songs of Mary Gauthier & a particular track led me to double down on things dear to me rather than give up on them and run away 'I aint leaving'

Dignity

2009 and day 45 with #MusicTrax4Life the year Barak Obama was elected this year. Michael Jackson died. At home a toddler is following his brother in trying to find his feet like me in a new job.

Why 'dignity' this year so out of time? Well it would fit any time really but Obama had dignity particularly compared to what followed him. Great track Ricky Ross and Deacon Blue #music #history #spotify

7/7 madness in London

2005 and day 42 of the track trek through my life #MusicTrax4Life. 7/7 stuns UK and I saw the crisis in London unfold in a Brentwood shop window watching worryingly with friends working in central London that day who thankfully were safe.

A new life joined us though & two became a family of three. A new life for us as parents too.More Cat then, maybe 'Oh very young' but this song says so much

Peru and more

Year 2000 and day 37
