How I'm progressing at learning how to play the guitar
I clean all day and listen to music. This song 'Universal Soldier' by Buffy Sainte Marie is one that I listen to on a regular basis. I think it has such a great message. Buffy Sainte Marie is such a talented musician. I'm sad I never got a chance to see her live! She is retired from live performances.
Fighting solves nothing. We need to stop fighting. It is not the way we put an end to war.
Here are the lyrics to this powerful song:
Universal Soldier
He's five foot-two and he's six feet-four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
Been a soldier for a thousand year
He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist, and a Baptist, and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill
And he knows he always will
Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada
He's fighting for France
He's fighting for the U.S.A
And he's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for Democracy
He's fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
Who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him
How would Hitler have condemned them at Liebau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on
He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there and you and me
And brothers, can't you see?
This is not the way we put the end to war.
Be a lover not a fighter! Spread love not hate! Be kind just like it says on my shirt!
I've been learning how to play the guitar. I've been practicing at least 3 times a week for 15 weeks and I'm blown away how I'm progressing in such a short amount of time. I know it's not perfect, and that's okay. I have some work to do on strumming. It takes time and practice and this is something that brings me joy! I'm also learning to play the keyboard and have been practicing the same. You can achieve anything you put your mind too! Don't give up!
