Check out my earlier post for snapshots of the song in progress, behind-the-scenes studio chatter, and, of course, the lyrics!
Listen to the words carefully. I wrote them alongside Artist X - and they really mean something.
You might also wish to check out my previously published Favourite Quotes to see how they've been woven into the song.
You're welcome to distribute this song as much as you like. It's released into the public domain without limitation, so long as credit is given to www.karlblog.com.
One of my favourite types of music is smooth, upbeat jazz.
It's the kind of mellow chill-out that you can listen to over and over again, wherever you are, whatever you're doing.
It's truly beautiful -- and some of you may know that back in 2006, I put together Sax FM at www.saxfm.com -- my own online radio station dedicated to such great, feel-good music.
Well, we've been revamping the site - and now have a whole selection of fresh music from a number of large jazz artists, including new smooth sensation Travis Vega.
It's free to listen, and there are absolutely NO ads.
So, why not take the time out to tune in online.
Just visit www.saxfm.com - and get ready for happiness in your ears :)

It's about time this blog had it's own theme tune.
That's why myself, Artist X and his gang have been working furiously over the past couple of months to create "This Time" ... the official song of Karl Blog.com!
Below, you can find details of the entire experience -- including studio shots, lyrics, and more.
I helped write the lyrics and style the song... and you can hear "Karl Blog!" sung repeatedly at the end of the track.
It's beautiful! :)
And this inspirational little song is coming your way tomorrow.
Want to listen to the studio chatter, and hear a sneak preview of different parts of the song?
I’m free just like the sky above like the space between ourselves and us it’s all around you
I let go of the voice inside no need to cling to thoughts and time there’s nothing to hold onto
and it feels so nice to be here in this space and time and you and I lose ourselves outside our minds and love a feeling that is deep inside and I feel alright happy just to be alive this time
each moments rises right on time they never miss a beat and I go with the flow around me
you can’t touch me where I am I’m further from the place I’ve been just wait and soon we’ll all see
and it feels so nice to be here in this space and time and you and I lose ourselves outside our minds and love a feeling that is deep inside and I feel alright happy just to be alive this time
It’s always morning somewhere in the world wherever you may roam There’s nothing good or bad here at all but thinking makes it so If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll get more of what you’ve had A ship is safe in harbor but that’s not what it’s for live each day like it’s the last
Karl Blog! Karl Blog! Karl Blog! Karl Blog! (repeated)
My friend, musician Scott Johnson, who recently donated many of his songs to Self Dev Radio, was recently eating there with his wife -- and asked a waitress what the Eleventh Commandment was.
She replied...
"Thou Shall Enjoy!"
It inspired Scott so much he wrote a song about it. It's a brilliant little number.
Scott has given me permission to post it on my blog today.
I want to express my thanks to international "busker" Peter Jones for donating all of the music from his great album "Sunshine Up Ahead" for use on Self Dev Radio and Writers FM.
I absolutely fell in love with the track "Sunshine Up Ahead" and wrote to Peter over the weekend. He wrote back, sending his entire album, and granting full permission to use any of his stuff.
Wow! :O
To listen to "Sunshine Up Ahead", visit my blog homepage at www.karlblog.com and scroll down to the red music player on the right-hand side of the page. Click on "Sunshine Up Ahead" to listen. It's a great song.
PLUS....
A brand new Self Dev Radio interview is now online, with self-help author Guy Finley.
Guy has sold over a million books, hosted over 4000 self-development conferences - and he's just launched his massive new 16-CD album, "The Secrets of Being Unstoppable."
He wrote that great song "Jessie," one of the Magic AM favourites.
To refresh your memory, the chorus goes: "Jessie, paint your pictures, 'bout how it's going to be... By now I should know better, your dreams are never free... But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea... Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me."
Well, I'm writing today to recommend his album of the same name: JESSIE.
This isn't his latest album -- and that's good for you, as it means you can grab a copy for just a few units of whatever currency you're using. And the songs are tireless.
Jessie... Beautiful in my Eyes... and Picture Postcards from LA.
They're simply beautiful.
And so today, I'd really like to recommend this collection.
Joshua Kadison is one talented singer and musician, and if you have a few pounds in your pocket today, I can think of no better way to spend it.
PS. I actually just spoke to Joshua Kadison this afternoon! No kidding. I asked about his spiritual journey. He replied: "Right now all I know is, I think this whole universe thing is about joy ;-)" -- Good answer. Who wouldn't buy his CD based on that response?
Artist X has just released a new site called Play It Forward, his attempt at getting one million people to listen to "All Things Subside" within 90 days.
It's a neat concept - based on the film Pay It Forward - and I'd urge you to have a listen.
I've used his music many times at Self Dev Radio and Writers FM. He was kind enough to donate it to our station. I've since become something of a fan! :)
And, if I'm totally honest, I can't be 100% certain that "he" is even a guy.
Artist X is a singer and musician that prefers not to reveal his identity. He does so because it equates to ego... And he wants his music to mean something for what it is, and not because of his groovy new hairstyle, or for the fact that he's dating Britney Spears.
Which he's not, incidentally. Or maybe he is. Who knows.
But his music... is really fantastic.
Today, January 23rd, he launches his debut album, "Light."
It costs just a few bucks... And if you listen very carefully, the words just might resonate at a really deep level for you. I've featured his music during some of my interviews (such as the one with Hale Dwoskin and Randy Ingermanson).
He has a number of great new songs out too, such as "Smile."
