Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow
unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is
in your present place of right now now. To get
there requires practice. Here's what I do every day one
sheet of paper, just ten minutes, write about whatever is

(00:22):
moving through your presence of right now, with absolutely no judgment.
Stream thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener, as
a communicator, and as an activator. It's learning how to
trust your right now. This is stream thinking today. We're
reading from September fourteenth, twenty twenty four. I don't remember
my parents talking about how the musicians of my generation

(00:44):
as a teenager were releasing songs from their teenage era.
Yet as a man of sixty two, I find myself
embracing the elegancy of today's artists putting their spin on
radio speakers. Luke Colmbs doing Fast Cars from Tracy Chapman
is a masterpiece all its own. Chaboozie with a Bar
song Tipsy Jay Kwan did an amazing job with the

(01:06):
original Chaboozi has just handed it off to a new
generation of music fans, proving that rap and hip hop
rhythms and lyrics continue to inspire and influence the soundtracks
of our lives. I'm always on the hunt for new,
great music, even if it's old. How do you react
when something from your past becomes the present in a

(01:28):
younger person's life and they're singing the song that you
did when you were a teenager or younger. It's moments
where I just kind of sit back and I take
it all in, just to see if they get the
same experience. For instance, I would love to see meat
Loaf's version of two out of Three eight' bad in
today's music world. And the reason why is because he

(01:48):
puts so much passion and soul into that whole entire
Bat out of Hell album that today's listeners are screaming
for the same emotion. They want something that they can
say this is how I feel, this is how I
am releasing. That's why instead of going to an oldies

(02:09):
radio station, like so many men of sixty two and
women as well, they go to the oldies station to
pick up on those vibes. Find yourself a new station,
Find yourself in that moment of newly released music, and yes,
go ahead and admit to yourself that this stuff sucks.
It just does not fit into your lifestyle. But if
you stay there long enough, all of a sudden, your mind, body,

(02:32):
and soul begin to recognize it on a different day,
and then it's got the possibility of becoming one of
your favorites. And I think one of those songs is
Flowers from Miley Cyrus. It was instantly loved, but in
my heart that song is going to be around in
forty years because it still sounds brand new inside my soul.
But then again, that's me, so I give it to you.

(02:54):
What are you doing in your discovery of locating new
music in this Spotify, General and iHeartRadio. Where are you
finding the new stuff? I'm Maril and that's stream thinking.
