Hold That Note

Robin Williams' life may have ended 8 years ago... but his influence is alive and well.  Here is a new recording of a tribute song I wrote for him using quotes from the movie Dead Poets Society.

I recently released an album... it's called 'Before I Find Her' ... free to listen, but please do purchase it if you would be so kind: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/music

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week the second song is called Bigger Things Blind and it's about maintaining a proper perspective and a sense of awe.  

Here is my Christian Album that is often alluded to: 'Wash Me / Walk On Water': https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/wash-me-walk-on-water

Here is the album with the 2022 and 2014 versions of the Robin Williams tribute song back to back: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/dead-poets-society

I feel like I've alluded to many opinions about God, so here is a whole episode on my thoughts.

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week we start with a new Taize style song.  The text comes for page 77 of the A.A. Big Book.  Then we have some riffing about God, followed by a song based on the book of James.

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week we start with two new ditties, an alarm clock song and a ringtone.  We finish off with the old song of the day which is about dreaming about a love interest who is long gone.

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's old song was inspired by how fast technology changes, and the new song was inspired by procrastinating on writing a song for my songwriting group.

Today is my 9th 'Lightniversary' ...  It has been 9 years since my heart started beating again, and tomorrow will be 9 years since I woke up after being directly struck by a freak bolt of lightning.  Hear the whole story in this episode!

I was wrong in the episode, I said I wrote this song for the 5th Lightniversary, it was actually the 4th.  Check out one of my early efforts at YouTube, with visuals of the actual lightning tree here: https://youtu.be/R67xFK4adZk

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's new song is about the lack of contentedness that comes from depression... The second song (the old one) is about the life of a young woman trying to make a 'Dent in the World.'

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's new song is first and shares a similar sentiment with the song from Episode 2 (the Days Drag On)... The second song (the old one) is about my love hate relationship with my family's painting business.  'It's called Iron Shoes.'

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's old song is first, it's called 'Once More' and it's about philosophy.  The new one is a weird mash-up of a praise song and a lament.  It sounds like a psalm.

Here is a 10+ minute version of the Mantra Song On Loop.  It's meant to help you with a Concentration Game (aka Meditation).  I said last week I'd make it 20 minutes, but 10 seemed more managable.
