When the new Godsmack album, IV, came out, I purchased it with eager anticipation. I opened it and played it as soon as I was in my car. I listened carefully and absorbed as much as I could on the drive home. I was pleased. Out for another drive, I listened some more, like a sponge I drank it all in. I was on my way to take a walk with nature and capture the moment with pictures. As I walked through the forest the words from one of the Godsmack songs kept repeating in my head…..”I feel so hollow”. My walk was serene and cleansing and I found comfort in the forest of tranquility.

Several days later, as I viewed the pictures I had taken that day, I felt the need to write. I opened up my blog (which was a whole new thing for me) and released my soul and the essence of my journey that day. Inspired by the four simple and yet impacting words “I feel so hollow” and by the sacred soul I found in the forest that day.

Journey with me in to the hollows of the forest and to find the “Sacred Soul”.

My Mission

My mission for this site is to take you along with me on a trip down musical memory lane. I’m hoping that I can inspire you and that you can inspire me. I hope to re-discover the music from our past and discover music that we never knew existed. All genres, all styles, everything and anything.

My hope is that you will join me in my quest. Take your own journey and let me know what you discover. Let’s open each other’s ears and appreciate the different rhythms and beats that have moved us since we came in to this world.

Songs capture the moment and essence of that time in our lives. It gives you something that you cannot get with a picture or possible even video footage. You can actually revisit the emotion that you experienced when you listened to that song. I call it our musical lifeline. Something that is with all of us at all times.

Help me, and send me names of songs that are on your time-line. Tell me how they inspired you at the time, how it related to your life at the time. And mostly, tell others and let’s all take a musical journey…
