The Sound In Your Mind

I love music, it is healing. It warms my heart to learn that someone I admire grew up listening to the same songs that I have lived by. When I was a teenager, I would sit in my bedroom and hang on every word Bob Dylan sang while trying to teach myself the songs. My father would walk by my bedroom door and say "He Sounds like he has a cold." Meanwhile my mother was washing dishes while singing all the wrong words to the Everly Brothers in the Kitchen.

I imagine that the geeky Steve Jobs was sitting in his bedroom listening to the same songs in 1969. I saw him the other night on PBS talking about his relationship with Bill Gates, stating that it had been "A Long and Winding Road."

I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or a Beatle song.
~ Steve Jobs

Personally, I think of most things in life as a Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan a Beatle song. These days instead of trying to learn the songs, I create a piece of art to go with the song. I woke up this morning dreaming about "The Sound That You Hear In Your Mind." So much healing goes on in the early morning hours.....

The Sound That You Hear In Your Mind



Well I've been feeling a little bad
Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
It's a little like rain but it's a lot like a sunny day
And it's hard to explain but the sound of your name don't make music anymore
It's more of a sound of a love that I lost one day
It's a little too late to start thinking about startin' all over
I'd rather stay where I am I can't take another slam in the mind
I've been feeling a little bad cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind

I've been running around even laughing at half of the memories
And you're not hard to remember I just have to think of your name
I've been feeling a little bad
Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind
