The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

The Music is on

I have Pandora turned up. A lovely song came on called While my Guitar Gently Weeps by The Hot Club of San Francisco. I knew I wanted to share that song with you but it is not on Youtube. I did find some other songs with the same title that I will share but first The Hot Club of San Francisco...

At Sundown
 
The band spend a minute or two talking to the audience before they start playing. I love when I see or hear people encouraging others to follow their dreams or letting them in on theirs. Anyway the song is called All of Me
 
 
And I Love Her
 
So now for the Random Songs that have the title of
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
 
The Beatles:
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps.
Santana
 
The Muppets
 
Maybe the reason why this song inspired so many artists is the original artist George Harrison.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
 
The truth is this not the first time I have heard a version of this song. In fact it inspired me into writing a poem many years ago. Of course I am going to share it. You know me...

My pen gently weeps
    calling to my hand
    the words that are
    longing to be placed
    on a blank page
My pen yearns to fill
    pages with lyrics
    of the heart and
    the forbidden soul
My pen weeps
    while it sits unused
    waiting for inspiration
    to find it's way home.

I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and inspiration. Be well my friends.
