Has The World Gone Mad Or Is It Just Me?

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)

Today my message is just about remembering how important it is to value and remember those “small things” in life who will make a big difference.

Sometimes a song makes me cry! It’s a mixture of sadness but also happiness because it happened in this last month that my heart seemed to open again. More than ever!

Why?
Those small things fall from the sky at the right time and remind you how beautiful life can be.

You simply feel Alive!

Poem by Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney

Little Things
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

So the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of Eternity.

So the little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue
Far in sin to stray.

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the Heaven above.

Small Things by Ben Howard

All in my mind
I walked down Mayflower Road again
The wailing sound
Echoes from the park seems so absurd
The bird stained towers
I knew it would but I can’t shake the sting
Can’t spend my time on everybody else
If buildings fell at least we’d be in matrimony
I can't control the words
Kaleidoscope inside my head
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things they gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad?
I can’t see
All these small things they gather round me
Gather round me
Saw the police
Screaming something trivial like
'Keep the peace'
The world moves on and
You can’t shake the sound
I know she’s home
Waiting on somebody holding life
All in my mind the anvil and
The weight upon my back
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these…

Hope this song touches your soul as well!

Yours @mammasitta

The world is crazy. Not in a good way.

The world needs people brave enough to go crazy, in a good way.

I do not know, as long as she was with me the world seemed a wonderful place, now I do not know if has the world gone mad or is it just me?

Was from some days that I could remain calm but this song... Now I do not know why all this brings me back to think of her... The song is very beautiful, however, only that it hurt me so much.

Ohhh! Wash away all sorrow! My heart was bleeding for so long and then an “angel” bringing beautiful, innocent and unexpexted ❤️ back into my life! I know how you feel.....

I hope my angel can arrive one day, but I do not know if I am a person who can be loved, at this point I think this.

I would love to hug you right now and tell you that you are a lovable man and you need to love yourself deeply before you can move on! I speak out of experience

Thank you, I am very glad for your kind words.

I saved this publication because I knew I would need it. Yes, just like you need a beer every once in a while or a loving hug.


When I read it for the first time maybe I wasn't in tune with the poems, but the good son returns home, as the saying goes. Recently I spent a moment of great commotion in my life, but the light went out in the eyes of a loved one. In those days I read this:

So the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of Eternity.

I felt that all the moments were small if I compare them with the eternity of the seconds lived. I know that surely your intention wasn't to touch me in this way, but there is wealth in what has happened in this way, in that you have shown me without the intention of doing so.


Maybe we're all going mad a bit, that's the essence. But we're here, let's do it together, that's how we give it a shot in the back to loneliness.

PS: this one is mine...

It's not just you, but maybe the world has always been crazy

Hahaha! You got a valid point here!
I might find out sooner or later :)

Hopefully you can dodge it a bit longer :)

For sureeeeeee!

OMG I am inspired! :3 muah!

"I can't control the words
Kaleidoscope inside my head
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?"

I think it might have been my hangover 🙈🙀 to write this Post that day but songs and words create deep emotions, open the path to my soul and heart, stops it from bleeding. Crying washing away the kaleidoscope.....@yusaymon BTW i loved your videoclip I just watched today! It’s so special to get to know you better every day more!

No, it happens with everyone and we all are emotional beings and emotions always drive us into the ride of deep thoughts and some times we take heavy pains for the great things but they forget that, the small things or accepting of small things of your life is important because these small beautiful moments can create great dynasty of wonderful life, so never ruin your little moments. Thanks for sharing these deep lines with us because these telling the great messages of life and if we can understand this then our half problems of life can get vanished and we can enjoy the small and little moments of our life. Wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Hello you wonderful and beautiful human beings understand my emotions today so well!
The moment little things open our hearts we know something is going well and worth to embrace! Thanks to YOU as always! I hope you also liked that song.

Welcome and really thanks for your kind words. Yes, song is really great with some good lyrics and i find one line as best as, "All These Small Things They Gather Round Me."

We only have to see and find them

True.

I think the world is relatively unchanged. Human behavior has barely changed since the dawn of time. With that said, I think good prevails in the end, but it isn't always on the timetable we want it to be.

Thanks for the great poetry, beautiful images, and insightful commentary. ..

Good prevails at the end! I never gave up that believe either!!!

🌺

life has always been crazy, and will always be crazy. nothing will ever changed.
just live the life, as long as we can enjoy. : )
been a while ibu, hows things going?

I try I try to live those little moments before I go “mad”.
Sometimes it’s looks so bad though but then I shake it off and be thankful for all lessons learnt
I am Baik Baik Pak!

Hi😊ein toller Beitrag von "Anfang bis Ende"🤗
Man merkt das du viel-Herzblut- eingebracht hast und eine Persönlichkeit dahinter steckt☝🏻
Der Song und Poem ist really heart touching danke dafür!

Ja mein Herz bleeded for a long time.....but it stopped from one day to another! I am so glad that you could feel my honest thoughts inbetween the lines ❤️

Sometimes a song makes me cry! It’s a mixture of sadness but also happiness because it happened in this last month that my heart seemed to open again. More than ever!

I think I can relate with that feeling.
Hello dear friend @mammasitta hope you are good. Much love from @gloglo.

So so so so so nice to hear from you again! I haven’t been very busy on steemit in recent times

Hello @mammassitta

It's been a while since the last time i stopped by, I have little issue with my ginabot.

It's nice to know that your heart is open once more, open to newness and greater big things to come.

Nice music lines.
Yours friend @austinebizzy

It feels so damn good!!!!

A life is made of details, but a detail can change a life.
Thank you very much for this charming post that reflects a personality of a very nice artist

That’s do sweet! Thank you! Yes! Those LITTLE THINGS .....

Coole Stimme hat der Bursche!!
Mir gefällt die voll ausstaffierte Version besser ... ;-)
Wäre auch was für Uwes Danceweekend .... ;-)

Also das Lied touched me big time today when I discovered it in my playlist. I didn’t even remember I had it.
Meinst Du die original Version oder die Session ?

Die obere mit den Drums.
Aber die effektierte Gitrarre im Solo Mix würde jedem Dub Mix eine Ehre machen ;-)
Auch sehr gut - und die Stimme sowieso.

Ja mir gefällt es auch besser

@mammasitta, thanks for making me wake up from this slumber through your post. I have been celebrating little things in my life since I stop working 2 years ago. I just want to be free from the mundane life and living simple.
But it has been difficult for me this few weeks as I am trying to adjust with this new adventure. Perhaps its just excuses that I make for myself to embrace the state I am in. I love the poem and post made me cry as it reminds me the time of my renaissance. Thanks again @mammasitta for sharing.

I am on a very similar path. I gave up everything! Work, partner, Bali my home and so much more to simplify! It’s been quite a crazy ride so far but as I mentioned my bleeding heart opened again and I even listen to more music again, enjoy those little moments ......Let’s cry together #onelove !!!

I feel you... :_)

Owww Ben Howard, I love this singer especially his song "Depth over distance". The song is wonderful not only because of the melody but the unique way Ben plays the guitar on this lap and uses the guitar as a drum. While I am sure he is not the first person in music to do either, he does it with such a commitment to the rhythm that is simply works wonderfully.

I heard of Ben Howard for the very first time today but This sing and especially the lyrics touched me deeply!
I need to check out more from him

Outstanding massage you give. fabulous poetry.following you and upvoted.

That’s great to know you enjoyed

This section deep feelings of calmness and art This is really very amazing Thank you for sharing I appreciate your great effort

I am happy to hear that you liked it!

Maybe it's the sound of the singers or the beat but I think music has a spirit that opens the heart while listening to It. I love music

Yes yes and more yes! That’s how I felt when I heard that song for the first time!

Yes it's a mind opener

I find it interesting that just as one small thing can bring happiness, while another small event or thought can bring you down. I guess one needs to be careful about what we surround ourselves with.

It’s all about the Balance! How would we know and understand happiness without knowing the feeling of sadness?

I sometimes listen to song talking about the singers past and how childhood was so great.

I start crying because it reminds me of my childhood and how easy it was being young.

Life was so cool and chill back then.

That’s so so true that we all have different emotions coming up when we hear a song.
So glad you wrote this comment 😍 and very nice meeting you

It’s me who has to thank you for thank-ing me ☺️

die Blumen liebe ich. Erinnert mich an die Südsee

Frangipanis! Sie fallen jeden Rag vom Baum in Fuelle! Ich habe dieses photo in meinem Bali Garten gemacht. Eine tägliche Freude of little presents every day! Ich vermisse mein kleines Paradies.

Wow. Beautiful song ma'am. He's voice is so nice. (Cant spend my time on everyone else. Thanks for sharing.

I can spend time on anybody worth to spend time with! Mostly myself :)

let it go mad because we are the driving force of it :)

It is very good! Spring does its job! )))

Little things=presents do their “job”

Dearest, @mammasitta, do you think that all these events just coincided with the arrival of spring? Do not our hearts become more sensitive in the spring? Do you believe in coincidence?

Nothing happens by coincidence! ( read the Celestine prophecy)
We create the love as well the sorrows!
It’s all up to us to decide which one :)

It is definitely what I needed to hear "enjoying the little things"! Thank you for bringing to my morning this positive thought :)

That’s all I intend to do on my blog and with my message :)

Very motivational , thank you @mammasitta

"Has the world gone mad,
or is it me"

Is it?!!

Loool yes

Great show, I like it!

I shouldnt be doing this ma'am. I'm sorry pls. I am just wondering if you'd like to hear my original songs. This is the only way i know how to do promotion. 😊

Very nice post.

You are like an angel, hanging up from the sky, weightless, dancing on the head of a pin. I enjoy reading every of your thoughts. That is one beautiful lyrics and i will look for the song and download it. We surely have the same taste and i am excited about that.

Yes, little things matters. The little things take up the most important aspect of our being. Most of the time we overlook the little things, but in them we have happiness and fulfilment as they touch the deepest part of our being.

I wish i can run to you right now and give you a warm soothing hug.

Thanks a lot @mammasitta
