Where acceptance is all there is!
Music Therapy
Seems to me we need to come up with some uplifting songs as therapy. Some of you have found great ones for your profile pages, but there isn't one place to collect them all. I wonder if we can list some of the songs that saved us, gave us hope, reassured us, etc. and see if rj and Cheryl can come up with a way to click on them as we do with photos and videos. If not, we can always Google the You-Tube videos or recordings.
I'll start with six:
Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying (Gerry and the Pacemakers)
(Hey, my AA showed up even before this song was on the radios in the USA!)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkel, Clay Aiken)
Don't Rain on My Parade (Barbra Streisand, Lea Michelle from Glee)
A Whole New World (from Aladdin)
Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel. Love the sax as well as the words!)
Foo Foo (Santana. Makes me want to dance! Click on Shaman album cover or Athens concert in 2009 for best sound.)
Your turn. What did you listen to THAT HELPED when alopecia first showed up or was at its strongest?
Leave out the sad stuff...I am thinking of fun, hopeful or loving songs. Reassuring songs.

Randy Travis, Forever and Ever Amen
You may think that I'm talkin' foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how, I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
But you're not just time that I'm killin'
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live, this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh, baby! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!
As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit n' talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!
They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
But, honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, it's easy to see, it's happenin' to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you
Oh, darlin'! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!
As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit n' talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Well, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

Pretend (by Gerry and the Pacemakers) sound like parts of the Beer Barrel Polka, but what the hey. This is good for those who wear wigs and just move on with life.
Pretend you’re happy when you’re blue
It isn’t very hard to do
And you will find happiness without an end if you’ll pretend
Remember, anyone can dream
And nothing’s bad as it may seem
The little things you haven’t got could be a lot if you’ll pretend
Bridge:
You’ll find the love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes, you’ll be there
You’ll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You’ll be pretending just like me
Well, what’s mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don’t you pretend?

Just the Way You Are
(By Billy Joel)
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Listen to Barbra Streisand sing it. They will be remaking Funny Girl, and Lea Michelle from GLEE, who sang it at the Tony Awards, is trying out for the part.

I like the lyrics. I'll have to find it on u-tube or somewhere and listen to it. Even though I don't know you that well I think the words would be very fitting.

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter.
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter!
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to;
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum...
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it. Hat, sir...
I guess I didn't make it!
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection,
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion,
The cinder or a shiny apple of its eye...
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer."
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer!
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade!
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am ...
I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir...
At least I didn't fake it. Hat, sir!
I guess I didn't make it.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"!
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

Never had an 8-track, and even those are fading from yard sales. Maybe my song should be, if I had to pick one with a female voice, Don't Rain on My Parade. I felt it more, however, when I was in my art career!
-

Oh Yeah, I still have a few, even have a turntable. I still play them on occasion. My husband just shakes his head, he hates the sound...you know the scratchyness (?) of them. Hey, remember 8 track players?
Only one song, that would be hard with so much to choose from.
-

I am thinking of putting only one song on my page, but can't decide what that ONE song should be that would speak my soul...or put everyone in a good mood...or be irreverent...hmmm...choices, choices. And, I do NOT own CDs of all my faves. We are talking vinyl here...ever hear of a RECORD?

HA HA you can't be that old :-) . Most computers have a media program called windows media player. In order to rip a cd put a cd into your computer and there should be a windows dialog box. Open it and it will ask you what you want to do. Ripping a cd should be one option. If it isn't than opening media player is an option, so do that and then there is a tab that says rip and follow instructions. Hope this works for you......I had to get my own set of instructions from my husband when I started doing it :-)
