The Egyptian book of the dead states that to speak the name of the dead is to bring them back to life. Many who pass stay in our hearts and minds long after they are gone. Some people are so iconic and important to our personal mythologies that they live on in our behavior, our opinions, our affect and even in our physical qualities. 

Hi. I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode the three songs that we’ll examine are told in memory of those who have passed

I believe it was Sir Paul and not St. Paul who wrote, “You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. I look around me and I see it isn't so.” Indeed. Romantic love, as opposed to platonic love, includes an element of sexual intimacy. Sort of a love with benefits, if you will or, if you won’t. That is the question

 Romantic love, as in the songs of this episode can be serious or celebratory or playful. Romantic love isn’t just about ballads either. 

Hi. I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode we’ll discover three songs about romantic love – first, a song about mature romantic love, then a rock anthem to show gratitude for love, and the last song is just a slow sexy, jazzy, love ballad.

Sarcasm is considered one of the lowest forms of humor. Essentially, sarcasm is when you take the opposite point of view on something to show its flaws. The root of the word sarcasm comes from an ancient Greek word meaning the tearing of flesh, as if by looking under the skin the truth is revealed. It is often considered a lower form of humor as it is usually cruel as it ridicules the target. For instance, in “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift, he proposes that since there is such a surplus of Irish babies that they be used as food. I mean, he wasn’t serious, right?

Everyone has a family. It may be your natural family or the family that you create around you. It may be a work family or a family of friends. 

Hi. I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode we’ll cover three songs about family – the first song is a tribute to my Dad, the next song is about my Mother’s mother, and, finally, a little song about some family names.

No matter how you feel about it, you are aging. There is nothing you can do to prevent aging short of dying. You may be able to delay age but, eventually, you will get old. If you are young, you probably want to be older. If you are old, you probably want to be younger.  You’ll look at old photos that you though were horrible in the past and think that you look good in them. You’ll wonder how it happened so fast. You’ll wonder what’s coming next…

Hi. I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode we’ll cover three songs about aging - One song about memory and personality, another about how to tell when you’re old and, finally, a little advice about how to deal with getting older.

Change is an inevitable and natural part of life. Sometimes change happens and you hardly notice it. Other times change can be so sudden and significant that there is no denying it. Dealing with change however is something that can only be learned by going through it. The excitement, the heartbreak, the boredom, the fear, and the exhilaration of change can only be experienced, not taught. 

I’m Tim Rose and I’ve been writing songs for over 50 years. In this episode I’ll discuss 3 songs I’ve written about changes - transitioning from one situation or relationship or phase of life to another.

In this episode I feature three songs that I wrote in high-school and college to give support to some of my friends in my own passive-non-aggressive way.

I’m Tim Rose and I’ve written over 100 songs for over the last 50 years. In each podcast I feature several songs that I’ve written over the years on a particular theme or subject. I’d like to thank everyone for their kind words about our last podcast, “Beginnings”.

This is the initial pod cast of Tim Tunes where each week I’ll feature two or three songs that I’ve written over the years on a particular theme or subject. In the podcast I’ll explain what I am doing in each song, where they came from and the circumstances under which they were recorded.
