Hi (Furry)furriends ❤
Granny
are you coming…
we have to work on our new
music theme…
“Music that teaches…”
Well…
let’s go and see where the music takes you…
as there are many many songs
that teaches not only the world
but you in particular…
I think music comes to you when you need it…
when your heart needs an uplift…
music touches your heart
and can change the you into a better you…
you only have to listen…
just like I do when I hear a spider
that you can’t hear…
Don’t bring up that song now, Granny…
…this song of 1969
…Granny was eleven years old
she had just moved from Germany to the Netherlands
and had to deal with the hate between the two Countries
because of the war almost 25 years earlier…
that they almost blamed on her…
the bullying at school because of her accent
and her different kind of upbringing…
and the homesickness…
…from that moment on
she knew that
“You can’t always get what you want”
but you get what you need…”
not understanding what it meant
in those days…
but a few years later it actually made sense…
it taught Granny…and me🙄
that you can’t have everything you want in life…
especially not
when you THINK you want it…
but that you can get what you need in life
or what you desire…
when it comes from your heart…
Another song that teaches us
how we can come out of isolation and confusion
or stay in…
at least that’s our interpurretation of the song…
we want to keep it positive… 😉
comes from 1974
Granny thought this song was written especially for her
and stayed in that
shell for a long long time…MOL😹
The next song teaches us
that every change starts with ourself…
“If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make that
Change!”
OMC…What do you mean…
That’s not what they meant
with teaching songs…
Of course these are teaching songs…
they teach our inner and the outer world..
we learn a lot of the lyrics…
our English has impurroved…
at least a little…
by listening, reading and singing the lyrics…
especially the la la la’s went purrfect…
I can write a whole book
with all the music that teaches us so much through life…
but it’s time to drink something…
and stretch my legs…
for a round around…
just one more song of 1987…
that changed Granny’s life furrever…
the lyrics speak for themselves…
Granny says this was a call of her soul…
well…
I hear my couch calling…
so see you next time…

Oh what a beautiful kitty!!! LOVE all your choices! You might get a giggle when Little Dude is whining about not getting his way, the hubby and I break out in song singing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” 😀 Thanks for the dance!

MOL…that’s the right song for everyone…MOL 😀 Thanks for stopping by, Stacy ❤ Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Wow! Supertramp was my mommy’s very favorite for many albums and many years! And I always loved the Rollong Stones. And my mommy was 11 in 1969 too. Great people think alike. Thanks for bringing up old memories for my mommy!

SO COOL that your mom is the same age and loves the same music, Patzy. I knew they were very much alike 😀 Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Pawsome choices Little Binky!

Thanks, kitties 😀 Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Those are all wonderful choices for this week’s theme. I am sorry your Granny had such a tough time as a child, children can be very mean. XO

I love cats, I just don’t have one (for various reasons). This was a beautiful post! I think you rocked the theme because music teaches so many lessons. Jimmy James’ song had such a disco beat; was surprised it was from 2013. As a big Supertramp fan, I enjoyed Hide in Your Shell – the music is so Supertrampish. But best of all, You Can’t Always Get What You Want. I grew up among World War II survivors (many survivors of the Holocaust) who settled in New York City and I can only image what it would have been like to settle in a place and experience hate as you grow up.

MOL..Supertrampish…excellent found 😀 Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Songs sure can be very powerful. That’s too bad that your Granny had problems in school but I think kids will always look for reasons to pick on other kids. Too bad your Granny is not still in Deutschland because my wife and I are going there this fall and could use a travel guide. 😉
Mar 07, 2019 @ 19:40:31
MOL…that would have been pawsome, Charles 😀 Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Isn’t it funny how music does accompany us through our life and how you remember things. I didn’t know your Granny was coming form Germany. I feel close to her really as I am only 3 years younger and I have a sister her age. I have a song which talked to me when I decided to come to England 1984. It was Steve Winwood – ‘While you see chance… take it’….. and I did. I still love it now and keep the record from then. Nice to get to know Granny more too! Sending my love to both of you!
Mar 07, 2019 @ 19:43:27
Thank you, Ute. That song was definitely a sign and you grabbed it…amazing! Extra Pawkisses for your input🐾😽💞
Mar 05, 2019 @ 20:17:14
You and your Granny are correct, music improves the heart and soul which is why we have been OD’ing on Queen lately. I can’t seem to get enough.Have a beautifully musical week.

In 1969 I was 18 years old. I’m a great granny though.
Loved all the wonderful music. Music often teaches us many things. We just need to listen.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Hope you had a wonderful Awww Monday. Scritches and lovies to Little Binky. My best to your granny. ♥

Thank you, Sandee. I think you are a Great Granny in both ways😸 Pawsome! Pawkisses🐾😽💞

You chose some very good music, Little Binky. When I was in junior school my class exchanged addresses with a junior school in Bremen and most of us had penfriends from there to help build friendships after the war years.
Mar 08, 2019 @ 10:43:44
That was very nice, miss Jackie, I’m sure Granny would have loved to be penfurriended with you. Pawkisses🐾😽💞

It was interesting to learn of your struggles as a kid moving from Germany to Netherland. I can’t even imagine the difficulties you had and I know kids can be so cruel. Even in adults who know better but allow prejudice to blind their hearts to the truth. I like the direction of your interpretation of how mewsic educates took you because life’s lessons through song are quite revealing and help us in ways that schools can’t. Your song choices were spot on in this area of education. I appreciated the introduction of “To My One True Love”. It’s very beautiful! Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang. Have a boogietastic week, my lovelies!

I had a great dance, CK, thank you ❤ Pawkisses🐾😽💞
