*SONG
While mopping the floor at work this morning, I heard that Song in my head again… the one I mentioned yesterday… but it WAS a "Bread" Song. I thought it was. That's how "out of it" I've been since My Sylvia crossed-over. I didn't even realize that the Song that's been playing in my head every day, all day for over 2-weeks now wasn't the "Lobo" (band) Song that I mentioned in yesterday's Posting. It was a Song by Bread called "Baby I'm A Want You".
- Even now, as I was pulling-up the Song in my mind, I kept hearing the "Lobo" Song. I then realized what my brain was doing. So I focused on only tuning-in to the "Bread" Song. Then BOTH Songs merged together… the beginning of 1 phrase connected to the end of a phrase in the other Song. For a few seconds, it was making me crazy.
Although I've linked to the lyrics below, I'm going to include them here because they are precious to me and directly reflect what Sylvia and I have with each other.
- Baby I'm-a want you
- Baby I'm-a need you
- You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
- Maybe I'm-a crazy
- But I just can't live without
- your lovin' and affection
- Givin' me direction
- Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
- Lately I'm a-prayin'
- That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
- Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
- Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
- Lately I'm a-prayin'
- That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
- Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
- Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
- You taught me why
- Baby I'm-a want you
- Baby I'm-a need you
- Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
- Baby I'm-a want you
- Baby I'm-a need you
I'm going to spell this one out because it involves some deep details with me and My Sylvia…
- When I 1st heard any of the Songs by "Bread", it was in the 70s. At that Time, I was not only in High School, and at the age of "finding myself" and absorbing everything the world had to offer, but I was also clinging to the idea of my 1st real "girlfriend". (This was way before I met Sylvia.)
- So during those 2, vulnerable years, I somehow grafted every "Bread" Song on to that girl.
- After Sylvia and I met, and realized that we were tuned to each other, through MANY lifetimes, hearing any of the "Bread" Songs would instantly throw me back to High School and "that girl".
- It took quite a while but decades later (a few years before Sylvia crossed-over), my energies finally reconnected and settled into "Sylvia" being linked to those Songs. So when I heard the above Bread Song a while back (while at work), every part of me instantly connected those words and that story to me and "Sylvia". Although that's a very good thing, it can be crippling… even now, after 284-weeks.
Somehow my tiny brain

*MUSIC
An update on our upcoming album…
Our plan to have our crowd-funding begin before Sylvia's Birthday on September 22nd, has recently been twisted. I just don't understand what's going on.
A few months ago, Sylvia and I did a lot of "crowd-funding" research and decided on "RocketHub.com". Yesterday (and even today), when I went there, there's only a "placeholder" page. All the projects and articles we read before are nowhere to be found. So we had to do more research today and found another company. It's called: "Patreon"
Here's the link:
https://www.patreon.com
Although there seems to be an option to have your Fans donate "per project", they focus on "subscription" donations. This means Musicians, and other project-creators, can "potentially" receive a predictable monthly income. Of course, being an unknown Band and me not being able to "fire on all cylinders" every day, means we have our work cutout for us.
- "IF" we use this Service and "IF" people donate enough money to cover the expenses for the album, then this "may" be Sylvia's answer to my nagging… That we need to stay home and work on "our" projects AND we have to have all of our bills paid on-time. So, in "dreamland" (in my mind) setting-up a crowd-funding campaign where people donate enough money for us to stay home, would be WONDERFUL.
- We do have a lot of projects we'd like to work on and being funded like this would give us the freedom to follow-through with them. I've mentioned "some" or "all" of these before but this is what we currently see:
- > Our upcoming album (which is finished. It's just waiting on funding. So we can have the CDs made.)
- > Our next album, which will be called: "Inside > Out"
- • Then we work on the "game". This is an adventure game where the Player is brought into my mind, sifts-through the various fragments of information that I've collected, regarding Sylvia and how to remove the "Veil" and then they try to figure out how to connect those fragments into something which will unlock "something".
- > Next, something Sylvia and I had talked about many years ago. Sylvia actually put these pieces together and came up with a multi-media package which would contain an album and a full-color book. I will create a 3D world for each of these albums and include photos of various parts of it and place them in that book. The book will also contain the story behind that album's world. (Over the last several years, I've already created several single-image representations of a few of those worlds. These are what gave Sylvia the idea.)
- > In-between all of that, there are a few inventions I'd like to explore. Some regarding "music". Some have to do with "energy".
Also…
Regarding the actual progress on our current album project… We picked-up the purple, 3D-printed "Infinity" logos from the Print Shop last Monday and brought all the Candle-making pieces to the CandleMaker yesterday. She told us the work will go quickly once she starts assembling everything but she can't get to it until next week.
*HOT-COLD
This afternoon, I had a thought about people who can't tolerate the "Heat". Sylvia and I really "don't like" and "don't tolerate" the "Cold".
My thought was… What if people who hate the Heat have programmed their Units (the Body and its many Systems) to be that way? What if they do this by drinking a lot of iced-drinks? Sylvia and I see these people every day. Some can't seem to live without their very large, very icy tea, water, juice, etc.
Although Sylvia and I do drink cold drinks, we tend to mostly drink hot tea or coffee or sip on a glass of room-temperature wine. We tolerate the Heat much more than some people BUT we really can't stand being "Cold".
In fact, for the longest Time, Sylvia and I have been saying that we really like our temperature range to be between 60-degrees and 80-degrees. A few weeks ago, however, I told Sylvia… Since we can now tolerate, and almost "enjoy", even warmer temperatures, we should change our "Heat-range" to… 60-degrees and 90-degrees.
