It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of ""culture.""

Music to Relax

Every beat, every tone
Music is rhythm of soul
Pop, Jazz and Country
Release all our worries

Music gives life a motion
Music controls every emotion
Music calms the mind
Music helps us – our way to find!

Music is inspiration
Music – full of imagination
Music has feelings
Music gives life a meaning

A Slow beat is silent word
A fast beat make you shrewd
Every moment its true worth
Music gives life – new birth

Music is melody
Music moves your body
Make people jump up and down
Spin in circles round and round

Music for celebration
Music for education
Music for entertainment
Music for refreshment

Listen to music to change your mood
Listen to music to keep you cool
Listen to music just to relax
Listen to music to make you sleep

Listen To Music

Listen to music
To change your mood
A fast beat
May make you shrewd

Listen to music
Just to relax
A melodious one
May freeze you as wax

Listen to music
Out of some passion
A slow beat
May keep you from tension

Listen to music
With a fresh cool breeze
A divine rythm
May keep you in peace

Listen to music
To keep doctors away
A classic tune
May keep your ail at bay

Listen to music
When your mind goes dull
A Rehman's composition
May cheer you up well

Listen to music
Just before you sleep
A bethoven's melody
May make your's deep

Listen to music
When your worries attack you
Then see those worries
Running out of view

Listen to music
When you turn as a angry hound
Your favourite beat
May cool you down

Listen to music
But when time says ''no''
Sing a song
And live so long

Head The Call

Have you been listening, (Listen to the music)
Have you been sleeping (The sermon's in the music)
(The man standing next to you, he must surely be your brother)
(So brother please) heed the call
(The piper he's still piping)
The magic in the music
(The drummer he's still drumming)
The message in the music
(Sweet song of loving you should be singing)
(So brother please) heed the call
Listen to the music, Listen to the music
(Listen to the music) heed the call
(Listen to the music) heed the call
Heed the call of the music
Heed the call of the music
Heed the call of the music
Heed the call of the music
(It's still early in our morning)
There's still time for singing
Let's not waste our morning
Join in the singing
The outlaw of the midnight
He all too soon comes winging
(So brother please, please) heed the call
(Listen to the music) (Listen to the music) yeah
(Listen to the music) (Listen to the music) oh oh
(Listen to the music) oh oh oh (Listen to the music)
(Listen to the music)

I'm not performing now. What I do now is listen to music all day long. Listening is very nourishing to me. I might go back to perform, I might make another record. I've got a record half finished.

Sometimes in the past when I was going to perform a piece again I would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. This time I realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn't work.

Listen To The Music

Listen to the music
Tom johnston
Dont you feel it growin, day by day
People gettin ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make em smile
It aint so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, dont you ask me why
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
Well be happy
And well dance
Oh, were gonna dance our blues away
And if Im feelin good to you
And youre feelin good to me
There aint nothin we cant do or say
Feelin good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listnin for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.

LISTEN

Listen
Listen more carefully
Hear your own inner sounds
Wait for the music
Listen
The poem is being written within you
It does not know your name
Or any name
But listen
Let its rhythm come
It needs not be anything any other poem has been before
Listen
Its your poem
Now
Listen listen listen
And write it slowly down.

Please, Listen ………….

Listen to the music, coming from above,
Listen to the voices, to the words of love.

Listen to the lyric, whispered in our dreams,
Listen to the answers, from our dears.

Listen, with much care !
May be..a meaning will appear!


JUST LISTEN!

Bit By Bit

Bit by bit, piece by piece
I shall put this puzzle together.
It will distract my mind
and as I find a piece
that fits, I marvel
that anything so exacting
can be so distracting.

I do not think of cares and woes.
They've taken flight for now.
I think of what is in my hand
and where it will fit somehow.
As I hesitate to finish
for then I must perform

all those perfunctory duties,
routinely as I move.
I try again to fit into this world,
fit into the groove.
Bit by bit, piece by piece
I have put my life together.
Just like the puzzles that are done
I often wonder whether

the end piece of my life
will make a lovely picture?

The music in your heart

Music, what a beautifull word,
It can be played, or even heard,
Not to like it is just absurd,
Oh music, oh what a word!

Just listen,
you can hear the sound,
it is coming from here, there,
from all arround!

There! you found it, it's in your heart!
Music is inside you, you were never appart!

Just listen to the music inside you,
and you can acheive wonderfull things,
Music can make you fly,
just feel the rythm and flap your wings!

Listen to the music, listen to the melody,
as it brings joy, as it gives a symphony!


(I would like to dedicate this poem to my dear friends: 'Doha Ewiess, Omar Ibrahim')

Dont Listen/ listen

Don't listen when they tell you that you can't be somebody well known someday
Don't listen
to the stupid remarks people say
Don't listen
when people spread rumors.

Listen
when people give you advise
Listen
when they try to bring you spirit high
Listen
because they always try to help you.

Don't listen
to the people who try to get you high
Don't listen
to the people who lie
Don't listen
to the people who tell you that your ugly.

Listen
to the people who make you smile
Listen
to the people and get to know them for a while
Listen
to the people for you may learn something everyday.

Enrich My Heart

Play me a great symphony to enrich my heart,
Perform a concerto, to entrance me, please,
This music, so uplifting, always make it a big part
Of your life. Embrace the melody with ease.

Listen with depth to the harmony, which it brings,
Such rhythm will always weave around your day.
The volume of sound, in your mind, forever sings,
And the orchestration bears your cares away.

Dream slowly along, with those gentle tunes, which float,
Soothing your intense and trying world,
Drifting so softly, relaxing down with every note,
Thus letting your very essence, become unfurled.

Play me a great symphony to enrich my heart,
Perform a concerto, to entrance me, please,
Then I'll feel forever, the refrain within me start,
When I hear the euphony exuding from piano keys.

Healing Part I

Listen, listen
Listen to the voice,
The voice is an illusion
Listen to the voice,
Dont let the words confuse you
cause you need something to concentrate on,
Concentrate on me
You need something to meditate on,
Meditate on me
Listen, listen
Listen to your heart
Tune into the rhythm
Listen to your heart
Beating with precision
Like the waves upon the seaside,
It goes on and on
Like the spinning of the world,
It goes on and on
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
That is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
Only you can use it
Its the sound of someone breathing,
Its the breath of life
Its the sound that you are weaving
With the thread of life
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
It can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
It will soon move on

Listen to the vines with the thorns
For they are the tricksters
Listen to their wisdom

Listen to the trees
For they are the sages
Listen to them whisper their knowledge in your ear

Listen to the leaves
For they are the talkers
Listen to them talk

Listen to the stream
for it is the dreamer
Listen to its dreams

Listen to mother nature
For she is their mother
Listen with her for she is your mother too

Sonnet- O Listen To...

O listen to the songs, so sweet of Birds;
0 listen to the sea-waves hitting shore;
0 listen to the noise of trampling herds;
0 listen to the breeze that slams the door.

0 listen to the animals all wild;
0 listen to the Wind that howls and screams;
0 listen to the cries of orphaned child;
0 listen to the shrieks of ghosts in dreams.

0 listen to the beggar asking alms;
0 listen to the noises made by Science;
0 listen to the children clapping palms;
0 listen to God-given Conscience.
0 listen within you and hear God's call;
The Holy Spirit dwells in good souls- all.

You Want Me To Listen But You Don't

You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!

You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!

Undivided is my mind,
When giving you time.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!

When I'm there and able,
You don't think I'm capable.
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!

Every morning and at dawn,
Sing you do that same sad song.
'Nobody loves me.'
And...
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.

You can decide to have a change of heart.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!

Everyday there's a new way,
You can move or choose to stay.
But to that you don't listen and you wont,
And don't!

'Nobody loves me.'

You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
