Funny story... one of my favorite playlists I like to listen to has dozens of long songs in it. They aren't of any specific genre, but they are all at least six minutes in length, with some over 20 minutes. Anyway, I like a good long song, as it can sometimes take you on a journey of musical sound and emotion. Well, today I came across a user named @MAKE SONGS LONGER and I immediately thought of my playlist. Thus, I felt compelled to post a long song today... I always like to tease my wife when this comes on about stealing the covers during the winters... lol #11 - the long winters - blanket hog #afewtunes #tunestr

#10 - david guetta and mason - perfect (exceeder) my best workout playlist is a mix of rock, techno, pop tunes that get the body pumped up and motivated to workout... this one does the trick... add it to your list. #afewtunes #tunestr

#9 - the interrupters - take back the power this one goes out to all the keyboard warriors... exercise your civil disobedience muscles, and fight back... there will be times you need to get out in the streets to do so... or forever feel the boot on your neck. #afewtunes #tunestr

Music can often be a beautiful connection with emotion... and sometime that emotion is anger... don't keep it inside... turn up the volume and let it out through an artist's rage. #8 Tool - Hooker with a Penis

Two beautiful songs today... back from the 20th century... feels so funny to write that. No videos, but mp3s. I'm posting these two songs because I added them to a year end cd that I burned back in the day. I recently listened to it and loved how the two songs play together... one of pessimistic desperation and one of optimistic hope. That's kind of where I find myself today. I also like that "I Give Up" was released before "Smile". Never give up... stay hopeful... stay humble... and stack sats. Sidenote: too freakin funny... I went to upload the mp3 files and received the nostr popup "you can only upload images and video files"... lol. so I converted them. But then also realize that most people alive today don't even know what an mp3 files is... nothing like staying up all night with your buddies, and madly downloading tunes from napster... that was so fun. Anyway, enjoy! #6 - Quasi - I Give Up - 1998 #7 - Quasi - Smile - 1999

#5.1 - Zero 7 (featuring Sia) - Somersault... live If only I could have been in the front row of this concert... with the soulful lyrics dripping off her tongue like honey into hot tea... love me some Sia. #afewtunes #tunestr #sia

#5 - Zero 7 (featuring Sia) - Somersault I'm a huge Sia fan... her voice touches my soul. When I first heard her, I thought she was the lead singer for Zero 7... then I realized she was only featured. Then "Some people have REAL problems" was released... and boom! She freakin' rocked it with tunes like "The Girl You Lost to Cocaine", but also struck the soul chord with the under-appreciated love-song-gone-wrong "Beautiful Calm Driving". Somersault is one of the greatest, rolling along, summer-time, feel good tunes out there... it keeps dancing along for almost seven minutes... sit down with a cold drink, preferably with someone you're romantic with, play this song and enjoy each others space... it will treat you right. I'm will include the studio version here and a live version in the next post. #afewtunes #tunestr #sia

#4 - The Edwin Hawkins Singers - Oh Happy Day How do you listen to this and not be moved. What a beautiful, motivational song! I'm on a spiritual journey, and this song helps me wake up each day and celebrate what is right and good. May we all focus on the positive and optimistic path forward and downplay the dark and negative options that are pushed on us daily. Oh Happy Day! #afewtunes #tunerstr #ohhappyday,

#3 - Zakk Sabbath - War Pigs Full kudos the Ozzy and Black Sabbath for this gem. I just thought this cover version gave it an extra kick. Eff the war pigs. #afewtunes #tunestr #warpigs

There is something very powerful about this song... when you think that Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS... he knew he had effed up with his band mates... but he found the strength to continue fighting, finding the beauty of a single day... no one's going to stop you... reach high, reach far... today is a beautiful day! #2 - Queen - It's a beautiful day #afewtunes #tunestr #queen

Music helps make the world go round... The world is a better place with the creation and playing of music... Music resonates with some people more than others... This account is for those that feel music in their souls... My musical journey has taken me all over the world... enjoying some of the best and worst music the great people of this planet have created and composed. When I was younger, I had the joy of putting together a weekly 3-hour radio program. I was able to play everything from Mozart to Metallica... the Dead Kennedys to Dead Can Dance... Ice Cube to Vanilla Ice. It was an awesome experience and opened my eyes to so much music that was never on my radar. This has allowed me to appreciate music from all over the world. Anyway, I love posting and sharing music... it just makes me feel good... or is a release... or fits the mood... or helps with the cope... or celebrates... etc. I'll start the first post with a nostr staple... the ever popular Good Morning... x2. #1 - The Beatles - Good Morning Good Morning Enjoy your own musical journey... and support your local musicians... peace! #afewtunes #tunestr #introductions #thebeatles
