Feelin Alright, I'm not feeling too good myself...

OK, Im back and as I promised on the past blog, this one will be better

I just realized so far I haven't shared any information about music with you guys, I've been listening to it all along but not letting you know what music is ruling my moods during this process...and it doesn't make justice to the title of this blog

Well, let's start by this morning when I woke up with "Feelin Alright" in my head. I was dying to hear that song and I didn't have it on me. I woke up late and I had to run so no chance on streaming it via youtube while checking my emails...I only know bits of the lyrics so I couldn't sing it to myself...just humming it.

I couldn't wait to get to work where I would pull the CD from the library and read the lyrics from the CD jacket to try to understand why this one would be the song of the day, the meaning...

Arrived at 8:50am, turned on the computer, checked database, found the album, went to the library, pulled it out, came back to my desk, popped-it-in, advance to song #6, "Mad Dogs & English Man" gimme all you got!

It was a revelation...I was following the lyrics while listening to the song and I could feel identified to them and my present state of mind. If I wanted to express how I was feeling today, I couldn't have described it better...so for those of you not familiar with the song or lyrics, let me share them with you

Thanks Dave Mason for such a wonderful song (definitely you must have gone through for what I am going through right now....and came out alive and well)



FEELIN’ ALRIGHT – Joe Cocker / Dave Mason


Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way, yeah, it could’ve been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key

Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
Not feelin' too good myself, (uh oh) 
Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
Not feelin' that good myself, (uh oh)

Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and I wonder why
And when I think of you I stop myself from cryin’
I Just can’t waste my time I must get by
Got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Cause there’s too much to do before I die

Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
Not feelin' too good myself, (uh oh) 
Oh no, Feelin' alright, (uh oh)
Not feelin' that good myself, (uh oh)

(Feelin’ alright) Don't you get too lost in all I say
Yeah, but at the time you know I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it’s today
I can't escape I guess I'm here to stay
’til someone comes along to take my place
With a different name and a different face


Well dear followers, this is the start of the healing process. Things seem to become more clear every day.

We'll keep in touch but for all of you who are/were worried about me recently, rest assured I am...

"Feelin' Alright"
