Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your present place of right now now. To get there
requires practice. Here's what I do every day one sheet
of paper, just ten minutes, write about whatever is moving
through your presence of right now, with absolutely no judgment.
Stream thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener, as
a communicator, and as an activator. It's learning how to
trust your right now. This is stream thinking today. We're
reading from September fourteenth, twenty twenty four. I don't remember
my parents talking about how the musicians of my generation
as a teenager were releasing songs from their teenage era.
Yet as a man of sixty two, I find myself
embracing the elegancy of today's artists putting their spin on
radio speakers. Luke Colmbs doing Fast Cars from Tracy Chapman
is a masterpiece all its own. Chaboozy with a bar song.
Tipsy Jay Kwan did an amazing job with the original
Chabouzi has just handed it off to a new generation
of music fans, proving that rap and hip hop rhythms
and lyrics continue to inspire and influence the soundtracks of
our lives. I'm always on the hunt for new, great music,
even if it's old. How do you react when something
from your past becomes the present in a younger person's
life and they're singing the song that you did when
you were a teenager or younger. It's moments where I
just kind of sit back and I take it all in,
just to see if they get the same experience. For instance,
I would love to see meat Loaf's version of two
out of Three Ain' bad in today's music world. And
the reason why is because he puts so much passion
and soul into that whole entire bat out of Hell
album that today's listeners are screaming for the same emotion.
They want something that they can say this is how
I feel, this is how I am releasing. That's why,
instead of going to an oldies radio station, like so
much so many men of sixty two and women as well,
they go to the oldies station to pick up on
those vibes. Find yourself a new station, find yourself in
that moment of newly released music, and yes, go ahead
and admit to yourself that this stuff sucks, It just
does not fit into your lifestyle. But if you stay
there long enough, all of a sudden, your mind, body,
and soul begin to recognize it on a different day,
and then it's got the possibility of becoming one of
your favorites. And I think one of those songs is
Flowers from Miley Cyrus. It was instantly loved, but in
my heart that song is going to be around in
forty years because it still sounds brand new inside my soul.
But then again, that's me, so I give it to you.
What are you doing in your discovery of locating new
music in this Spotify generation and iHeartRadio? Where are you
finding the new stuff? I'm MARYL and that's stream thinking.
