Previously in Café 42: Music is a very important thing in my life, essential even. Indeed, 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 have always been in admiration for Stevie Wonder’s creative skills, music and achievements. When I think of all the incredible things he has lived and created in spite of being blind, I sometimes wonder if our senses can be more limitations than gifts, figuratively speaking of course, for I know nothing quite as beautiful as watching a rainbow, admiring the colors on butterflies wings or contemplating a pelican fishing in the sea. But still, as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry stated in his “Little Prince”: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye”.
“Free” is one of those songs, such as “The Riddle” by Nik Kershaw and “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel, which has been in my life soundtrack since my teenage years, never really paying attention to the lyrics but loving its uplifting vibrations. As its title states, there is something very liberating in this song with its intensity growing crescendo until the Stevie’s burst of joyful energy at the end.
