IJS Keep It 100

I know it's been awhile since I've post about a song, but what better come back then sharing another one of my son's song, "IJS Keep It 100".  He's getting more and more recognition for his music and he's so much more comfortable on stage then ever before. 

Every song he writes comes from his personal experience and sometimes it makes me laugh but then other times, it makes me cry.  He writes with a passion and he's good at what he does.  A little more consistent and persistent, he'll make it. 

"I'm Just Saying, Keep It 100" has a twist of humor to it.  I listened to it the first time and had to smile because only my son would write a song of complain rather then a love song.  LOL.  It's the story of his life.  Some of the comments on Soundcloud are hilarious.  One comment goes,  "It's about time I sing a song like this to my lady."  This is just part of the lyrics:

"...Baby, tell me what you're gonna do?  
When all you do is lay around, watching ev'ry drama on your Timeline. 
We don't need your Facebook, all of them fake friends....
I'm just sayin, Keep it one hundred babe."

On Soundcloud he reached almost 200,000 in only a couple months.  He performs locally and has more request for out-of-state appearances.  I'm so excited for him.  Music has always been a big part of our family.  I'm just glad he didn't give up on this great talent.  There's always room for variety of beautiful music in this world.   

"Im Covering My Ears and turning up the Volume when you Speak"

I just now discovered Sam Smith.  He is amazing.

"I'm covering my ears like a kid...
I'm turning up the volume when you speak..."

This is exactly what I'm feeling now towards one of my children.  Twisted that I'm feeling like a kid but for days now we've gone back and forth, back and forth.  Words, like feathers are out there and impossible to get them back.  There's no way we can control what people are saying and thinking.  But when we allow them to come between family, then I want to stick my tongue out, cover my ears and perhaps run naked down the street screaming "Na na na la la la la la la la........"

Music these days gets to me through my children.  What they're listening to and I try to zoom in to the words and make sure they're not sexually provocative or vulgar.  So I always know what they're listening to.  My son Mahonrai played this song and it just hit me that this is what I wanted to do to one of my other children.   I'm tired of being judged by things that I didn't say and being held responsible for how other people thinks and feels towards them.

 "Enough is enough...your words mean nothing I go La la la".

I love music.

"I can't find no silver lining..."  I've tried everything I can think of to mend broken fences between us, but it seems the more I try the worse things gets.  All I want  is to be in good terms so we can all get on with our lives.  Get along for time is so so so short.  We waste it on anger and criticism.  Ain't nobody has time for that.

As for now,  I will resolve to ignoring anything that is said concerning this matter.

"...when you spit your venom.. I hate it.... when you hiss and preach
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind.
When I hear your speech is tiring enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid...
I'm turning up the volume when you speak...
I'll find a way to block it ....

We are all running out of time people.
