LET THEM BE

Let it be, and so it goes can always sum up lots of significant answers for me and everyone who cares to feel, think, and just be.

If our friends are not inviting us to a party, let them. If the person that we are attracted to is not interested in a relationship with commitment, let them. If one of our family members does not want to include us in their WhatsApp chats or come to see us whenever we are in town, just let them be. So to review… Too much time and energy is wasted on wondering why other people do not match our expectations.

Their success in the pop charts seemed to be over. But now the remaining member of the group, Barry Gibb, is back on tour, joined not by his brothers but by his son, Stephen. Anthony Mason goes on the road with Gibb, and talks with him about his music, his family, and his pop legacy.

“Texas Hold 'Em”s 19.2 million official streams and 39,000 sales through February 15 didn't just take it to number one on Billboard's country music charts...
It made Beyoncé the first Black or known biracial woman to top those charts. “16 Carriages,” with 10.3 million streams and 14,000 sales as of February 20, came in at number 9 on the charts. Which, not that anyone is really counting at this point, also means another record for Beyoncé: being the first Black or known biracial woman with both a #1 and another song in the top 10 on the country music charts simultaneously.

Who said mother knows best? According to Brain Wilson, his mom used to tell him to be on the lookout for vibrations.

Music tuned to 432 Hz is often perceived as being softer and more pleasant. It is said to provide greater clarity and is easier on the ears. 432Hz music unites the listeners to the universal harmony and generates positive effects on the mind and body.

Did you know that “Mack the Knife” has a long history of violence dating back to 1928, when it was written for a German play?

The song tells of a knife-wielding criminal of the London underworld from the musical named Macheath, the "Mack the Knife" - The essence of the song is: Oh, look who's coming onstage, it's Mack the Knife—a thief, murderer, arsonist, and rapist.
