That's wonderful thanks 🙏
Vipassana meditation resonated with me back in the late 90's and spending many years in Thailand with its Buddhist culture has made a postive impact for myself. The original teachings of the Buddha are such a wonderful read too

On this day in 1982, the Stranglers single “Golden Brown” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #67 (January 9)

Most probably the only harpsichord-based single ever to be released by a new wave/punk/rock band, “Golden Brown” was the second single released from the Stranglers’ sixth studio album “La folie” (1981) and peaked at #2 in the UK Singles Chart, the band's highest ever charting single there.

It was kept at #2 for two weeks by "Town Called Malice” by the Jam.

The music was largely written by their brilliant keyboard player, the late Dave Greenfield and drummer, the recently departed Jet Black, with lyrics by singer/guitarist Hugh Cornwell.

In his book The Stranglers Song by Song (2001), Hugh Cornwell states, "'Golden Brown' works on two levels. It's about heroin and also about a girl... both provided me with pleasurable times."

In a 2017 interview for Dutch television station Top 2000 a gogo, Cornwell says he believes that the song would have got to #1 if bass player Jean-Jacques Burnel had not told the press that the song was about heroin, at which point broadcasters removed it from their playlists, prejudicing sales.
“I would have waited till it got to #1 and then said it," he commented.

The baroque-style track also did well elsewhere around the world, peaking at #3 in Ireland, #7 in Belgium, #8 in the Netherlands, and #10 in Australia.

The song with the most famous drum fill in rock, “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, was released on this day in 1981 (January 9)

One of the most famous uses of gated reverb on a hit single in rock history…

Gated reverb was brought to mainstream attention in 1979 by producer Steve Lillywhite and engineer Hugh Padgham while working on Peter Gabriel's self-titled third solo album.

Going on to produce “In The Air Tonight”, Hugh Padgham’s use of the technique helped propel Collins’ debut solo effort to the upper echelons of charts around the world.

Genesis possibly regret turning this song down when Phil Collins says he first took it to them, although some say that he never did.

It went all the way to #1 in Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Austria, #2 in the Netherlands, the UK, Canada and Ireland, #3 in Australia and Belgium, #4 in Norway, #6 in New Zealand, #7 in Spain, and #19 in the US.

In 2021 it was listed at #291 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Phil Collins was inspired to write the song by the raw emotions he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980.
In a 2016 interview, Collins he said:
“I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration."

"I had a wife, two children, two dogs, and the next day I didn't have anything. So a lot of these songs [from his debut solo LP ‘Face Value’] were written because I was going through these emotional changes."

In an interview with Mix magazine, Collins explained that he wrote this song after returning from a tour:
“I got back to find that I had a lot of time on my hands because the family wasn't there, I rang up and said, 'Can I have my drum machine?' because I had to start writing some of this music that was inside me.

'In the Air Tonight' was just a drum machine pattern that I took off that CR78 drum machine.

The lyrics you hear for 'In the Air Tonight,' I just sang. I opened my mouth and they came out.
I never wrote anything down and then afterward, I listened to it and wrote them down."

Well the hurt doesn’t show, but the pain still grows,
It’s no stranger to you and me....

Sundown
Gordon Lightfoot ‧ 1974

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I'd find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

"Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse is a profound novel that explores the spiritual journey of a young man named Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.

Here are five essential lessons from the book:

1. The Importance of Self-Discovery:
Siddhartha's journey emphasizes that true wisdom and enlightenment come from personal experience and self-discovery rather than external teachings. He learns that while guidance from others can be valuable, the ultimate path to enlightenment is deeply personal and unique to each individual.

2. Embrace the Journey, Not Just the Destination:
Throughout the novel, Siddhartha learns that the journey itself, with all its trials and tribulations, is as important as the end goal of enlightenment. Every experience, whether joyful or painful, contributes to his growth and understanding.

3. The Unity of All Things:
A significant realization for Siddhartha is the interconnectedness of all life. He understands that everything in the universe is linked, and this awareness helps him achieve a sense of peace and harmony. This lesson highlights the importance of seeing beyond dualities and recognizing the oneness of existence.

4. Detachment and Letting Go:
Siddhartha learns the value of detachment from material possessions, desires, and even relationships. By letting go of attachments, he finds inner freedom and clarity. This detachment is not about renouncing the world but about engaging with it without clinging to transient things.

5. The Wisdom of Simplicity:
In his later years, Siddhartha finds profound wisdom in simple, everyday experiences. Living as a ferryman, he learns from the river and realizes that deep truths can be found in the simplicity of nature and the rhythm of life. This lesson underscores the idea that enlightenment does not necessarily require complex rituals or doctrines but can be found in the simplicity of being present and mindful.

This week in 1982, the debut, self-titled LP by Christopher Cross re-entered the UK Albums Chart at #55 (January 9)

The album was originally released on December 20, 1979, and was one of the first in popular music to be digitally recorded, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System.

Cited as one of the most influential soft rock (or yacht rock) albums of the late 1970s and early 1980s, it won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist, with Cross becoming the first artist to win the four major categories in the same year — a feat not replicated until Billie Eilish in 2020.

The album features a number of excellent musicians, and the likes of Nicolette Larsen, Michael McDonald, and Eagles Don Henley and J.D. Souther on backing vocals.

It went to #6 in the US and Australia, #14 in the UK and the Netherlands, #16 in New Zealand, and #18 in Japan, and #26 in Canada.
