\u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness;\u00a0only light can do\u00a0that. Hate\u00a0cannot drive out\u00a0hate;\u00a0only\u00a0love\u00a0can do\u00a0that.\u201d\u00a0 LOVE IS EVERYTHING<\/a><\/p>\n Mellifluous melodies surf the wind, acoustic watercolors catching invisible corduroy swells, riding them down the moments; as the morning turns to blush beneath sweet whispers from the night\u2026<\/p>\n \u00a0As much of the world continues to unravel all around us, there are things that we can do to stay well above its crumbling countenance. When you\u2019re feeling lost, desperate, or alone; turn to something that has proven, for you, to generate calmness, hope, and stability. For some it is their faith. For others their family. For some it is writing, working out, meditating, music, art, yoga, gardening, hiking, team sports, or prayer. Possibilities are relatively endless, and if you reflect, you will probably find some things that work for you. And you don\u2019t want to base them on what works for somebody else \u2014 because each of us is so very different. Give yourself permission to be who you are, and find what really works \u2014 for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n For instance, music, writing, working out, and prayerful meditation are things that always lift me up above the world. So since covid hit, and our entire world has shifted into\u00a0fight or flight<\/a>; I have turned to these things to find peace, happiness, and joy. From the music focus has emerged a collection of original songs, the production of an album, and now the completion of the first phase of post-production work \u2014 mixing.<\/p>\n In my last post I shared Mix 1 of this album.<\/p>\n After a month of detailed analysis of the elements of each song \u2014 writing notes, making tweaks, re-analyzing, more notes, more tweaks, etc. \u2014 we arrived at the final mixes for all 11 songs. So please allow me to share the final mix of\u00a0Billy Ray Norris \u2013 A Little Dose Of Heaven<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the album.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoy, and find what works for you! It could be the birth of something amazing, or the fulfillment of a dream! Life comes with no limits unless we create them.<\/p>\n Photo credit: Fire Prince Music, BMI<\/p>\n
