January To June, Not Much Peace In Tune. Now It's July, Sun's High In The Sky!


Since January 2025 till today, 1st July, half the year has gone by. Enjoy your life as much as you can in this very turbulent, crazy and difficult world. But try to keep your peace; not easy though...

January To June, 

Not Much Peace In Tune. 

Now It's July, 

Sun's High In The Sky!

Enjoy while you may,

It's not ours to say.

Simon and Garfunkel: 'Leaves That Are Green'. 
YouTube Video by: kylecrazyford.

"And the leaves that are green turn to brown..."

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long

Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand...

[From a 1965 album by Paul Simon. Later added with Art Garfunkel and instruments. The A side is 'Homeward Bound'.]


Everyone Wants To Rule The World. History Has Revealed, No Country or Dynasty Remains At the Top n Powerful Forever. Time Changes, Situation Changes. It's This Mentality: What You Can Do, I Can Do Better n It's A Matter Of Time. To Test A Person's Greatness, Give Them Power. With Power, Corruption Arises. 

The Real Sad Part Is, Nothing's Done To Help Bring Peace n Happiness To The World; Only Weapons Of Mass Destruction. It's Always One Up Against the Other. Not Working Collectively For the Good Of All Beings.

More Music, More Peace In A Drastically Divided And Uncertain World, Especially With Old Music:

Yes, never stop sending those 60s music stories...


A rare combination that never happened but it could have
if they had met. Elvis and Bruce, peaceful people who just
 wanted a happy and strong world through music and self-defence.
While Bruce was a martial-arts master, Elvis was a follower but
both excelled in their own field.

Alphonso Soosay thanks for sharing your views. Being part of a famous 60s band, THE BOYS, you have expressed what many musicians would agree with. Enjoy jolly July, Al.

Also thanking Merlin Lim for his contribution about Peace On Earth, an off the cuff essay he wrote. Merlin, besides being a great guitarist, is also a good writer.
