Previously in Café 42: Music is a very important thing in my life, essential even. Indee, within the last year, I’ve discovered that music has the power to shift my vibrational state, to open wide my imagination gates, to realign my energy, to allow my body to dance and my soul to sing. This is why, when I decided to create Café 42, I wanted to share a playlist of my most significant songs with my community, like a life’s soundtrack.

My dear beloved regulars,

I had a rough time choosing the song for today’s adding to the Life, the Universe and Everything playlist and didn’t know what it was going to be until this morning when I was proofreading and editing my latest Weekly Special. Then, a particular sentence I had written caught my eyes: “As I’ve related it in my first Monthly Book Selection on Café 42, at one point, I found God or, rather, God found me... » and it suddenly reminded me of a song that has always had a great impact on me whenever I’ve listened to it for the past four decades : “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel.

This song is one of the very few that I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of it, I’m always happy when it pops up on my Spotify player. For those who don’t know it, it’s about a man, who climbs on a mountain and God, or one of his guides, talks to him, telling him to pack his things to be taken back home. I don’t really know why but I have always been under the impression that that heavenly voice was talking to me as well when I was listening to that song, that its invitation was also directed to me.
