“And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last.”

To help guide the kids, I carefully selected songs that I felt captured my hopes and aspirations for them – a soundtrack of sorts.  The power of music has certainly been significant in my own life.

For the girl – Little Wing, Purple Rain, Me and Bobby McGee, While My Guitar Gently Weeps

For the boy – Wherever I May Roam, Over the Hills and Far Away, Immigrant Song, Going to California.

Recently, I thought about my own soundtrack. Definitely some overlap with my kids but also others that I don’t need to repeat as they pop up quite a bit in the other writings.

But here’s the interesting question that someone asked me – would I add to the soundtracks as time progresses. Initially I was resistant due to being stuck in ways and all that but also a measure of laziness.

As for me, I’ll surprisingly add these as they are classical pieces, a genre I’m not all too familiar with.

Cello Suite No. 1 G Major, Bach

Prelude in C Major, Bach

Recuerdos de la Alhambra – Tárrega

And a few by Mozart that I can’t pinpoint exactly yet.
