Musical Worldview Project Playlist 01

As the Musical Worldview Project (finding wisdom in lyrics) hits 100 entries, what better way to celebrate than an hour-long playlist of hand-picked Holiday At The Sea Musical Worldview Project family favorites.

Sit back, relax, and let the music take your mind (and encourage you to think about what kind of world you’d like to see and what kind of person you’d like to become to make that world a reality).

We’re all in this together.

Keep on keepin’ on.

Musical Worldview: Rainer, "Sometimes It's Hard"

“Sometimes it’s hard to remember

Sometimes it’s hard to recall

The reasons why we’re here

The reasons why we’re even here at all

Then it hits me, hits me like a big jolt

Coming straight into my brain

That the only reasons why we’re here

Is just to love away the pain

Yeah we’re here just to love away the pain

Cause it’s a painful world we live in

Painful yes it’s true

And the only thing we’ve been given

Is just enough love to pull us through

Take a good look around you

Tell me what do you see?

Half the world is paying for love

Paying for love that should be free

Yes, so now it’s back to the trenches

Finding love in a rude world”
