Today's Video Share: "Wintergrass" by Kathy Bogle
Wintergrass is a song about missing someone who is no longer in your life. For me, it's about missing my children who have all moved on with their lives far away from me. I am Kathy Bogle. I wrote, performed, and produced this song. As I work on a video for one of my songs, I review hundreds of photos and videos looking for interpretive pieces to string together in meaningful ways. Sometimes I have an idea before I start, sometimes I shoot photos/videos to suit my ideas, other times I don't have a clue and just allow the media to take me where it will. I had some ideas for this video as it was pretty personal for me. I recalled some photos I'd taken on my last trip to Nevada, of the long road ahead. I remembered a few weeks before writing the song, I went for a drive and saw a pair of bald eagles perched in a dead tree, and I longed for one of my children to be there sharing it with me. When I started looking at photos I found the picture of a sneaker like one of my kids loved to wear. So, there are a lot of thoughts portrayed in the video. I hope you all enjoy it!

Today's Video Share: "WINDS OF CHANGE" by Wokepoets / D. Lawrence & D. Levene (Feat. ELINE VERA)
Wokepoets is a collective of several Atlanta-based musicians led by Dale Lawrence. They create a wide eclectic range of socially conscious, lyric driven modern music. This particular song was written with Dale Lawrence's mother and brother in mind both of who passed under tragic circumstances. First, his brother at just 18 years old was killed in a hit and run and just a few short years ago, he lost his mother to ALS and watched helplessly as she withered away. A beautiful melody led to a heartfelt and poignant lyric.
Today's Video Share: "You Prob'ly Won't Stay" by The Not So Ideal Tenants (Gail Taylor’s Earth Song)
“I'm in the process of reinventing myself as a songwriter and musician.
After a quarter of a century in the financial world, I was dreaming of a second calling. I didn't start this new journey until shortly before I turned 60, so sometimes it feels like I'm in a race with the clock! Then, I realize I'm having so much fun that it's all good.
I'm not sure if I have a genre yet.
I’ve written half a dozen songs, and they seem to vary from rock 'n' roll to soft rock to country-pop. I guess we’ll see where it all plays out! In developing my vocals, so far, I’m most comfortable with raunchy rock...so maybe you’ll see a few covers. I love singing “Cover of Rolling Stone” by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show...and don’t get me started on Chuck Berry tunes!
I would love to use my music to generate social messages.
I'd like to provoke thought, and maybe even a bit of change. It would be great if, somehow, my music could help people to be their best selves!
You Prob'ly won't Stay is a tragic love story between humans and the planet.”

Today's Video Share: "Spacesuit Days" by Gail Gallagher
Gail Gallagher is a singer songwriter whose genre is a mix of musical theatre and folk rock. Spacesuit Days is a whimsical but reflective song about realizing you are done putting on the armor (or the spacesuit) you used to wear and playing the roles you used to play but also look longingly at the person you used to be. The music video stars my friend Maggie Wagner who happened to own a spacesuit costume from a David Bowie performance art piece she does from time to time. The video is also a nod to the current pandemic situation complete with elbow high fives and mask jokes.

Today's Video Share: "I Am A Woman" by Anne Suzanne
This video is dedicated to women. During the outbreak of Corona virus I came across many heart warming initiatives led by women in Amsterdam and Holland as a whole. They inspire me to embrace the innate female approach to building a better future: to connect. Only when we reach out and work together can we stop loneliness and other societal problems.
This song is about what it means to be a woman.
Today's Video Share: "Party in the Living Room" by Cara Van Thorn
Frontwoman Carrie Stephens wrote this song in response to corona quarantining. Being stuck at home, suddenly forced into isolation just as the band was gaining traction, depression slowly took hold. One evening, unable to find interest in anything else, she put on a random playlist and danced alone for two hours, until she felt semi-whole again. This song is a reminder that music is one of the strongest connections we have to ourselves and to each other.

Today's Video Share: "Bricks From The Ashes" by Melissa DuVall
“Coming from a small town in Northeast Mississippi with not much more than a crazy dream of being a singer, I feel that I have been very blessed to make a living in Nashville for almost 20 years lending my voice to other people’s songs as a professional session singer. Recently, I decided it was time to finally find my own "Inner Voice" so I began writing songs with my friend and producer Denny Martin. I knew I wanted to write and record songs that have a positive message to hopefully encourage and help people in some way. When I heard "Bricks From The Ashes" written by Michael and Cheryl Berardi, I knew I had to include it on my album. I loved the melody and the lyrics but mostly I loved the powerful message that has already helped so many domestic abuse victims all over the world. As this song continues to touch lives and in some cases even save lives, I am reminded why I do what I do. I hope my music is a ray of light in someone's dark world. Please enjoy this beautiful video created by Andrea Helding.” www.andiesisle.com www.melissaduvall.net

Why lie? For selfish reasons or insecurity? These people don’t know they are hurting themselves and it's about why we should learn to forgive these people. As Abraham Lincoln says “No one has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”

Here is a beautiful story of black confidence and pride. At a time during civil unrest, police brutality and a worldwide pandemic these lyrics and visuals are an opportunity to celebrate who we are as a people. This video was shot in New Orleans by Native Stacey Muhammad of Wildseed Films and co-stars Kalindah Laveaux Louisiana Voodoo Queen. To me, these are some modern day SHEROES that understand the need for healing, justice and economic freedom through art.
