2024: The Saga Continues Pt. 2. Content Warning.
2024 has been a year of roller coaster emotions, and that's putting it lightly. Music has been there through every moment... the beauty and the horror. There are always two sides to every story, including mine for 2024. The first side covered the darkest moments, the failures, the despair, the pain and the heartbreak. It becomes easy to allow the moments of hopelessness to reign and overshadow the moments of light... but what good does that bring? The moments of joy, relief, calm and love may be few and far between... but they exist and that is what makes the music of them so much sweeter as 2024 concludes.

The Soundtrack Of My Year
For the Soundtrack of Your Year Writer's Challenge I chose to start almost exactly a year ago when the worst Christmas topped my list. Without going into the gritty details and pitfalls of the year that were the first six months of it. If I had to force myself to see any positives I would have to say there are none. Other than this, from the collection of music I made. All of the lyrics came from my books of poems.

A Selection Of Seasonal Songs
Introduction I thought I would do a playlist of seasonal songs, covering faiths and non-faiths but all with a feeling of positive vibration without commercialisation although they may have made the performers a lot.

Soundtrack of a Homeless Addict's Wife. First Place in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge. Content Warning.
If this were a support group meeting, I might say: Hi, my name is Marilyn. My husband is a homeless addict. Instead, I am using Vocal Media's Soundtrack of The Year Challenge to share an intimate part of my life that I haven't written about on this platform. 2024 has been a whirlwind of emotional flux as my husband's near brush with death sent me back in time reliving much heartache, anger, and frustration. Dredging up old memories recaptured a darkness I never thought I'd see again.
