Socially Acceptable - c.2006 Deborah L. Hord

There was a guy in corporate life who did not want to take a wife.
The photos in his cubicle were of his dog and best friend Bill.
The work he did was good, but people talked behind his back.
And, everywhere he went he felt the force of their attacks.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

There is a woman, good and kind, who speaks against injustice.
She isn’t very hard to find. Just look for where the dust is.
She spoke about the truth she saw, and truth was all around.
They did not like the things she said and ran her out of town.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Remember when you were a child you heard a children’s story about the Emperor’s new clothes. They had a grand parade. And, everyone could see the truth, but none of them would say it, because they doubted what they knew, and they were all afraid.

They tried to be socially acceptable. They learned how to conform. They denied their own reality. They stayed inside the norm. They tried to be socially acceptable. They wanted to go far, socially acceptable, they couldn’t be the way they were.

Some people do not play the game or wear a false persona.
They try to live authentically. They are not well received.
The rules say that you must conform, and truth is not for telling.
Don’t let them break your spirit down. They want you to believe,

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, you can’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Borrowed Time -  c. M Taylor 2004

Wake with the dawn
A brand new day.
One more chance to change the world.
Before the daylight fades away.

Watch as the sun… slides across the sky
As the moon rises to greet the night
The stars know the reason why

Chorus
Each day we’re living on Borrowed Time
Never knowing where or when we’ll see the sign
That will lead you where were destined to be
But for now we live on Borrowed Time

Make every moment count
Live full each day,
Who knows where your life will lead you
As the seconds slip away.

Plant seeds of hope
Watch as they grow
Reach for the blooms of wisdom
Your heart will let you know

Chorus

Michael Grant (”Children – that is, any person age 25 or younger – live in a world so different from the adult world that it could almost be described as a parallel universe… It is possible that kids in their youth world believe in their power, and that their power is greater than ours. They no longer are obligated to check with us, or to participate with us, and don’t expect us, or want us, to speak unless we are spoken to.”)

Life in the Wild

What is the value of a song? What would you pay for 2000 songs?
How about $200? $100? Would you pay $50? That would be a deal!

JOY copyright Janis Ian

.

I wish you roses in the spring,

fledglings on the wing,

fireflies that sing your name.

.

I wish you flowers in the grass,

memories that last,

shelter from the passing rain.

.

I wish you joy.

I wish you joy.

I wish you joy.

.

I hope the wind is at your back,

keeping you on track,

and that you never lack for love.

.

I hope you walk beside your heart,

even in the dark,

guided by the stars above.

.

I wish you love.

I wish you love.

I wish you love.

.

So, wherever you may roam,

out there on your own,

home is just a heart away.

.

I wish you joy.

I wish you joy.

I wish you joy.

Thanks Minstrel Boy for posting the video and the lyrics to Christmas in Washington (from a performance by Steve Earle and Joan Baez).

eFolkMusic is in the process of making some big changes. Over the past year, efm has given away over 25,000 (TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND) free mp3 downloads. Membership has been only $30/year. Membership gives you access to over 2,000 free mp3 downloads (probably more than any of us will ever download).

.

Here’s what’s changing. There will still be free mp3 downloads offered. There will still be 10-FREE-MP-DOWNLOADS offered every so often. But, the individual free mp3s, on individual artists’ sites, will be available for free only to members.

.

So, to keep downloading tracks from eFolkMusic without actually having to buy them, all you need to do is join. It’s a really great deal. If you love folk music, in all its many incarnations, maybe it’s time for you to join eFolkMusic.

.

You can get lots of great music on mp3 downloads and help keep folk music alive (all at the same time!).

.

You’ll be glad you did!

.

Thanks!

I just want to say that I am crazy about eFolkMusic. I think it’s an incredible oasis for those who want to hear more music than what is available on commercial radio. There is some great music on the air, but there is even more music available here.

.

There are so many styles of ‘folk’ music, I know you will find mp3s you want to download. You’ll even find some of your favorite musicians in this space.

.

From personal experience, I’d like to say you can’t go wrong with a membership to eFolkMusic. For less than the price of two cds at current prices, you can have access to about 2,000 mp3 downloads (FREE ‘Member’ Downloads). What a deal!!!

.

eFolkMusic has been a leader in offering mp3 downloads for the past seven years. eFolkMusic offered mp3 downloads from a variety of artists long before other sites offered digital downloads.

.

eFolkMusic is a nonprofit organization and depends on your support for its survival. In the past year, visitors downloaded 25,000 FREE mp3 DOWNLOADS.

.

Now you have an opportunity to support eFolkMusic. Now is the time to do your part to help keep folk music alive. Membership in eFolkMusic begins at $30. Membership in eFolkMusic gives you access to about 2,000 mp3s. Do the math! It’s a great opportunity!

.

As a member, every mp3 marked ‘member download’ is a FREE mp3 DOWNLOAD for you. This translates to only pennies per song.

.

You won’t find a better value than eFolkMusic. Come on over and explore the music, listen to the previews and do your part to help keep folk music alive!
