This is my first time here and thanks to @princessbusayo for giving me the heads up. Music is really important and I see music as a way of healing not just to get a message across but to heal. Music is life and a lot of things appeal to me about music; the story behind it, the feelings it conveys, the lyrics and the beat.
For those who would want to jump in on this as well, you can click on this link: [Devendra Banhart for Three Tune Tuesday Week 55] and it's called #ttt or #threetunetuesday and I don't think I would miss this going forward anymore...now that I am aware. Special shout out and thanks to @ablaze for this wonder show of appreciation through music. It's amazing and deeply appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
Title of Song: "Dance With My Father"
Artist: Luther Vandross

Today is all about emotions and I want to share with you all this amazing song by Luther Vandross. It's my go-to song and my connection to my dad. I'm sorry but I can't get tired of talking about this song because the writer conveys my feelings perfectly on this one. It's a song that speaks about the void left behind by a departed loved one who happened to be his dad. How his mother cried herself to sleep hoping to have one more moment with his dad. I saw my mum struggle too in this regard when my dad passed away which made me love this song as it speaks my mind perfectly.
This is the part that struck me the most:
"If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh"
That means a lot because he said he would play a song that would never end just so he can keep his father for a longer time.
Title of Song: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
Artist: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

This song signifies the importance of living life and enjoying the moment. It signals hope where we wish things would go just the way we planned. Some might link it that it's about losing a loved one but this song cuts across every aspect of life for those who dream, hope and anticipate the good things of life while living in the moment and stopped stressing over what's not. This song means a lot more to those who lost someone close to them as well but generally, it's a song about hope and life.
I love this song, even more, when I learned about the life of the singer, popularly called "IZ" and how he also passed away. He was popularly called the hope or voice of the Hawaiian people and this song perfectly justified that.
"Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me, oh"
(Part of the lyrics)
The last but not the least for this week that I would recommend to everyone is:
Title of Song: "See You Again"
Artist: Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth.
Video Link:
I'm sure most people have watched "Fast and Furious" and for those who haven't... I decided to recommend this song to cap off an emotional week for TTT. We have all been told to be strong but it's okay to let those emotions flow because they weren't supposed to make you bitter but better.
This song holds so much meaning when you understand the value of friendship. Most people live for themselves...they live for what they stand to gain but when you find yourself a friend that is more like a family, you keep them close even in your memory as you allow those emotions and memories to sip from your veins.
This song was done in honour of the Fast and Furious cast named Paul Walker who died in a ghastly accident. They have seen each other as a family in the fast and furious crew and this song perfectly expressed that bond, that togetherness, further stressing the importance of friendship that runs deeper than being co-workers. This song keeps alive the memory of Paul Walker and not only that, it gives deep meaning to friendship, telling us to create as many memories as we can as we journey through life. It further stresses the importance of "living".
That's all for TTT and I hope you all enjoyed these recommendations. See you on the next one...I'm going around too to see so many other recommended songs by other TTT family members...
Thank you for your time.
