The Music That Moves My Soul

Accidental Poet

 

Being born in the ‘50s

Music was always my friend

It just felt right

A lifelong trend

 

With Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry

Early legends of Rock & Roll

But now we’ve lost Buddy and Chuck

Sadly we gotta pay the toll

 

Through the ‘60s and ‘70s

My favorite music years

The British Invasion

And Rock & Roll in my ears

 

From The Beatles

And The Moody Blues

Buying record albums

I’ve paid my dues

 

The Beach Boys

With all those great car songs

Give the volume knob a twist

Crank it up all night long

 

Songs that pick you up

And carry you through mid-air

Well, not really

But with eyes closed you’re there

 

Sensational guitar pickin’

And song lyrics you’d join in

Go ahead, sing along and pretend

You’re a rock star singing

 

“The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”

An instrumental so cool

And “Classical Gas”

How Mason Williams rules

 

From the band Chicago

“25 or 6 to 4”

Somebody pinch me

I’m like a kid in the record store

 

Got my toes and fingers tappin’

To the beat of Rock & Roll

Groovin’ to the music of life

The music that moves my soul

    Good write AP. You'll move your soul, and body, out of any room where music accompanies my singing! heehee.

    • Accidental Poet

      Ok, take my money, my credit cards, my truck, anything, just please don't sing. ; )

      I grew up with music too! Different era but music is so therapeutic! Very good write on the subject! You bought record albums, now everyone can download songs. Nothing like just having the oldies on backup, huh?

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks for reading Christina. Yes, growing up in the 60s was a wonderful time for a kid my age. There were some very difficult events going on too. But when young like I was then, its tough to know what to make of it all. The music is what pulled me through those years. And I do have quite a record collection. Almost all the Beatles albums. One in particular, The White Album is somewhat rae as it has a spelling mistake of one of the songs. Now I also have a lot of CDs too. ; )

        Cool poem a little insight on the music you love , good stuff

        • Accidental Poet

          Yeah it was a great time to be growing up with the music and the cars. There were others who partied harder than me, but I always had good times. Thanks for reading and commenting WL. ; )

          Good write, you took me back to those wonderful years. I have a vast collection of music collected over my nearly 70 years, a couple oh months ago I put in some Buddy Holly and I could still sing all the words with him.

          • Accidental Poet

            It was a great time Goldie. I don't remember the deaths of Buddy Holly and James Dean, but I've always idolized them. And now it seems like every month or two we loose another legend that I grew up with. Like The Righteous Brothers song, "Rock & Roll Heaven" says, Heaven must have a heck of a band now. Thanks for reading and commenting Goldie, always appreciate it. ; )

            • Goldfinch60

              That band will be wonderful but the pleasure for me is that when I am listening to it my father will be sitting next to me, he introduced me to so many types of music.

              • Accidental Poet

                And THAT is worthy of a write! I'll be patiently waiting for that one. ; )

                • Goldfinch60

                  I have written any poems about my father, I will pit one on today.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    You didn't waste any time on that entry. I loved it. Love reading about the relationship you have with your dad. ; )

                  • FredPeyer

                    AP, you speak from my heart! Sometimes listen to the golden oldies all day long while working on the computer. Great poem!

                    • Accidental Poet

                      I'm like you Fred, could listen to the music of the late 50s through the early 70s all day and night. Thanks for reading Fred. ; )
