This means there will be a lot more sunshine, the days will last longer, and we will finally be able to wear some of our favorite shoes that go with the seasons.

As you can see from the official images below, this shoe has light pastel colors all the way throughout, making for a unique offering that will stand out in any collection. From peach to green to cream, there is a lot to like about this model and we're sure these will go incredibly well with whatever Easter outfits you may have planned.

  15. Dating in the modern age is complicated, to say the least. So complex, in fact, that there’s an entire vocabulary dedicated to our collective experiences when it comes to sex and love, from gaslighting to breadcrumbing. One relationship type currently having a moment is the situationship. According to Tinder's 2022 year in review, many people now consider a situationship to be a valid relationship status. This dating term isn't new — it's been in circulation since May 2017, when it was coined by Carina Hsieh, who wrote about it for Cosmopolitan. SEE ALSO: The lonely state of getting over someone you never dated More recently, a glut of videos on TikTok put into words the lonely state of getting over someone you never dated, bringing a sense of validity to the experience of heartbreak over a relationship that never really got off the ground. The way we think about relationships is also changing. Conversations around consensual non-monogamy and alternative relationship models are also evolving, with dating app Feeld reporting that more people have been exploring non-monogamy in the past two years, with the app reporting a 250 percent rise in monthly active users in the UK between Jan. 2021 to 2022. Settling on a definition for the situationship can be difficult, as it’s complex by nature. But it’s generally thought to be a sexual and/or romantic relationship that has no formal boundaries or labels, like calling someone your boyfriend or girlfriend. Previously, people might have been embarrassed to be in a situationship and maybe used the word to complain about it. SEE ALSO: Tinder users say 'situationship' is a valid relationship status Situationships definitely do work for some people. According to Dr. Caroline West, Bumble’s sex and relationship expert, people are even seeking them out. "People are increasingly seeing situationships in a more positive way, taking it as an opportunity to test if feelings develop organically, whilst giving individuals time to build deeper connections," she says. "It allows you to gauge your compatibility and measure if your likes/dislikes match up, or if there are any red flags that appear in the process." People are increasingly seeing situationships in a more positive way, taking it as an opportunity to test if feelings develop organically, whilst giving individuals time to build deeper connections. We all know just how important boundaries are in a relationship, especially when it comes to healthy communication and allowing you to process your emotions properly, which is why situationships have a tendency to end badly. "If you develop feelings with someone without any boundaries and commitment, this can bring up a lot of insecurity," says Caroline Strawson, a trauma psychologist and relationship coach, adding that: "Boundaries are key in relationships as it shows both your partner and yourself a level of respect." SEE ALSO: How to set boundaries in the early stages of dating If navigating a situationship that lacks boundaries is hard though, ending that relationship and moving on from it might be even more difficult. How to have a productive conversation about ending a situationshipA situationship might have been working for you at one point, but when it starts to cause more stress and drama than it does happiness and satisfaction, it’s probably time to have a conversation about turning it into something more or ending things. But how do you break up with someone you’re not even in a relationship with? Situationships are usually defined by a lack of communication but continuing that pattern when it comes to moving on from someone isn’t a good idea. If you don’t end things and simply 'ghost' the person, feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and confusion will arise which are unpleasant for anyone to go through. "Ending a situationship may not feel as straightforward as a relationship simply because no labels are attached to it, leading you to question if a conversation 'to end it' is really necessary," West says. "However, oftentimes if you don’t end things and simply 'ghost' the person, feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and confusion will arise which are unpleasant for anyone to go through." It’s therefore important to put your ego aside and be honest with the person you’ve been in a situationship with about how you feel, in order to respect your own feelings and theirs, because, let’s be honest, you probably don’t know exactly how they feel. Even if your situationship has been characterised by late-night texts and drunk phone calls, it’s probably best to have conversations about changing the boundaries of the relationship in person, whether you want to progress the relationship or end it. "If you want to end this kind of situationship, open up in a direct, kind, loving, honest conversation with the person," recommends couples therapist and relationship expert Dr. Kalanit Ben-Ari. Of course, if you feel hurt by this person’s actions, it’s totally okay to be honest about that with them, but Ben-Ari stresses the importance of approaching these conversations with compassion, as the chances are you both feel as confused as each other by the situationship. How to deal with heartbreak over a situationshipThe idea of heartbreak is usually reserved for people in long-term relationships who have had disastrous breakups. But the slow burn of a situationship coming to an end can be just as painful and it’s important to acknowledge that, rather than minimising your feelings. It’s really heartbreak over the loss of a fantasy – a wish, a longing, a projection that you had about them, a hope, rather than the person themselves. Getting over a situationship can actually be even more complicated than dealing with heartbreak from a traditional relationship, as you process what happened, what went wrong and all the difficult feelings that this situation inevitably brought up. "If you’re experiencing heartbreak from someone you weren’t in a relationship with, it’s really heartbreak over the loss of a fantasy – a wish, a longing, a projection that you had about them, a hope, rather than the person themselves," Dr Ben-Ari says. It’s important to reflect on this and figure out what you actually miss about this person compared to what you miss about the situation and the things you associated with it. Journaling can be a useful tool to help you reflect on your thoughts and feelings. SEE ALSO: How to cope with heartbreak during the holidays It’s also crucial to avoid looking at the end of a situationship as a loss or a waste of time. Just because a relationship of any kind didn’t work out, that doesn’t mean it didn’t add value to your life. Although it is natural to feel down after the end of a situationship because you’ve been vulnerable with someone and emotionally invested in them, West recommends thinking about the more positive aspects of this breakup: "Try and reframe your thinking to see what you had in a more positive light. Situationships can be a way to help you to see if that connection is there, or if you are on the same wavelength about what you want from an eventual established relationship." If you are looking for a serious relationship, your situationship might not have been that but West stresses that, "dating is a process of filtering out other people that aren't the right match for us" and ending a situationship is a necessary part of finding a healthy, satisfying relationship. How to move on after a situationship endsYou might not feel ready to date again right after a situationship ends and this is probably a good thing, especially if you ended up in a situationship unintentionally. It’s important to know what your priorities are when dating, so you can find someone who is a good match for you and this is a great opportunity to reevaluate what you want from romantic partners. "If you find yourself continually being in situationships with a lack of boundaries and your partners not wanting to commit, maybe it is time to stop looking for the perfect person and get to the root cause of why you are tracking partners like this," Strawson says. Seeking out therapy is a useful first step to help you deal with these feelings and habits, as well as talking to your friends and family. However it’s important to find friends and family who won’t minimise the relationship because it wasn’t official and will empathise with your feelings: "Choose wisely who you are looking to seek sympathy and advice from [...] as they do not react in a way that feels soothing, it can make you feel worse and activate core emotional trauma," Strawson explains. SEE ALSO: Why it's not always as simple as TikTok's dating advice 'if he wanted to, he would' Crucially, when moving on from a situationship, avoid blaming yourself or putting yourself down. "Grieving a relationship if they never fully committed to you can bring up old feelings of not being good enough," Strawson says, explaining that relationships or situationships coming to an end is rarely a reflection on your self-worth so try to avoid looking at it as such - this is something you can also work on with a therapist or counsellor. When it comes to the practical elements of getting over your situationship, you might be wondering whether it’s best to stay in touch with them or totally cut contact. Given the varied nature of situationships, this is totally dependent on the relationship and how it ended and there are benefits to both options. Grieving a relationship if they never fully committed to you can bring up old feelings of not being good enough. If the boundaries are still blurry when the situationship comes to an end (aka they’re still sending "you up?" texts at 3am), cutting contact could be a good idea, according to West: "It’s not fair to lead someone on if you’re not serious about taking things further. It’s also much easier to get over a breakup if they aren’t accessible to you and you aren’t immersed in their social media," she says. However, Ben-Ari says that, for many couples, staying in touch does have its benefits, if you’re doing so for the right reasons. "It can be helpful to share honestly, without manipulation, how the relationship has hurt you," she says. "Share what your expectations were, and how it made you feel when those expectations weren’t met. Acknowledge the pain and difficulty you feel as a result of the relationship, and be open about the choice you’re making to protect yourself by ending the relationship." You might not be ready to speak about these feelings at the point of ending the situationship, so in some cases, doing so at a later stage can be helpful: "Communicating this before you lose contact can bring a healthy completion to the relationship," Ben-Ari says. With any relationship, dealing with the fallout of its ending can take an emotional toll, so make sure to look after yourself, doing things that make you feel good and protecting your mental health. If you are struggling with your mental health and don’t know where to turn, speak to your GP or a medical professional. If your heartbreak is impacting your mental health or if you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please talk to somebody.

  16. I mostly use Shazam when I hear something I like. Or when I hear a very familiar tune but can't remember the artist or the song title. I shazam so I don't have to think about it all day. It happens, but very rarely, when I hear a total trash in some place and I want to know the author by sight. I recently sampled Chromastics' "Back from the Grave". I hadn't heard of them before. Listened to the album the next day, now it's on my playlist. That's why I love it. I also like buy shazam plays for their songs. It makes me more popular.

  20. So, you want to learn to play the guitar. Whether it's part of your 2022 New Year's resolutions or just a spur-of-the-moment decision to take up a new hobby, we're really happy you're making this choice for yourself. But, have you figured out how you're going to learn? If you're anything like us, you'll be avoiding in-person guitar lessons. It's still pretty iffy for most of us when it comes to meeting face-to-face, and in-person lessons are already more stressful as it is. They take up a lot of time, and don't usually come with a flexible schedule. Can't make your Wednesday night lesson because you caught a stomach bug? Too bad, you're still paying for it. Thankfully, you can avoid all of these problems by opting to do your learning online. It's true, you can learn pretty much anything online these days — cooking, woodworking, knitting, starting a business, and yes, playing guitar. Welcome to the future, baby. No human interaction needed here. SEE ALSO: The best workout equipment for building a home gym But, as you could have probably guessed by now, these online guitar classes take place on the internet. That means you're going to have options. Enough options that you'll probably look up one list and immediately close the tab out of overstimulation. That's where we come in. We spent a lot of time researching the best online guitar courses and services so that you could narrow down your final choice, and we think we've found the best ones for your consideration. Here are some of the things we looked out for when parsing the abundance of choices: CommitmentEveryone is busy in one way or another. Most of us barely have the time to pursue a passion in the first place. But, it's important that we at least try to fit something we love into our daily lives. That's self-care right there. You know the saying: All work and no play really sucks. (That's it, right?) So, assuming that passion is learning the guitar, you'll have to map out the kind of time commitment you can (and want to) agree to. This means you'll want to take a look at each course's lesson plan and structure. Is it intuitive? Well-balanced? Messy? Stressful? Make sure it's something you can see yourself handling for the foreseeable future — the more simple it is to use the course, the less time you'll waste. Taking that into account with your personal schedule, you should be able to figure out if it'll fit into whatever you currently have going on. You'll also want to know what kind of financial commitment you're getting yourself into. Does the course or service have a limited free trial, or do you have to sign on the dotted line immediately? If there's no trial, is there a money-back guarantee? Wasting time is bad enough, but wasting time and money is worse. Consider your instructorsJust because your course is online doesn't mean you're not going to have an actual teacher. In fact, all the best online courses have experienced, real-life instructors that will be teaching you through comprehensive video lessons. Although you can probably assume that most big-name guitar courses will be taught by professionals, it's never a bad idea to look into their backgrounds to see if they mesh with your goals (sometimes, the course websites will make all of this information readily available). Some programs even offer celebrity guests, which is a fun bonus. What you'll mostly want to look for, though, is each instructor's expertise. Are they most savvy in rock? Blues? Jazz? The style of guitar you want to learn will inform who your go-to instructors will become. Price vs. valueNo matter what you're buying, the value-to-price ratio is always going to be a huge factor. It's your money, after all. Sometimes, investing in a high price point is worth it as long as you're getting equal value out of it. When it comes to guitar courses, you'll be able to judge this on how many lessons you get for how much you're paying, how long you have access to the course, student testimonials — things like that. It's not always an easy thing to discern and you might not find your perfect answer before trying something out, but you should always try your best to pick the one you think you'll get the most out of. What makes the course unique?No two courses are completely the same. Many of them have at least a few features that set them apart from the rest, and some of which might make or break the deal for you. Look for things like live lessons, video sharing with instructors and other students, interactive tabs, what devices the programs work on, and anything else that will boost the quality of your personal experience. Be honest about your skill levelWhether you're a total beginner who has only has experience playing the air guitar or an intermediate player that wants to freshen up on their craft, there's a course out there for you. All that's required of you is to be honest about the skills you currently have. No matter what level you're at, if you try to punch too high above your weight class, you're going to struggle, which can end up leading to you putting down the axe for good. So, don't throw yourself into the deep end when you don't have to. Find a course that will cater to what you have or haven't learned, and start from there. How to choose the best course for youThere are a few bases you'll want to cover before you finally choose your guitar course, aside from what we recommend to you. We mentioned skill level already, but it's important that you're honest with yourself about what you already know and how much you have to learn. Don't feel shy about calling yourself a beginner, because there's literally no shame in that (every music legend starts somewhere). Furthermore, you'll want to take stock of what you even want to learn. Do you want to learn how to solo? How to write music? How to play covers of famous tracks? All of the above? It's an important question to answer, because some courses are suited better for certain goals. You'll probably also want to nail down what genre of music interests you the most (although learning the basics of each one is a great way to progress). Other obvious things you want to iron out are your budget, the amount of time you want to commit to learning the instrument, what kind of devices you have, and your personal learning style. It's even better to be in tune with what type of feedback resonates with you most. Maybe you want to hear from your teacher often and receive honest, constructive criticism. Maybe you want to avoid any sort of communication with a human and keep your newfound passion for music on the D.L. until you can prove your proficiency to the masses. Here are six online guitar courses that we think are actually worth your time and money. Just promise us you won't become that person who breaks out Wonderwall unsolicited at parties, okay?

  29. MoviePass is bringing back a version of the plan that made it so popular in the first place — a subscription where you pay a monthly fee and get an unlimited number of 2D movie tickets. MoviePass Uncapped will have a regular price of $19.95 per month, but the company is offering cheaper deals for what it says is a limited time. If you’re willing to pay for a full year (via ACH payment), it will cost the same as that original unlimited plan, namely $9.95 per month. If you don’t want to make a full-year commitment, it will cost $14.95 per month. Now, you may be thinking that this kind of deal is exactly what got MoviePass into so much trouble last year, to the point where it nearly ran out of money and began announcing new pricing plans and restrictions on a seemingly constant basis. However, the company’s announcement today includes multiple references to its ability to “combat violations” of MoviePass’ terms of use. And those terms do say that “MoviePass has the right to limit the selection of movies and/or the times of available movies should your individual use adversely impact MoviePass’s system-wide capacity or the availability of the Service for other subscribers.” So if you’re a heavy MoviePass user, the plan may not be truly unlimited. In addition, you’ll only be able to reserve tickets three hours before showtime, and you’ll need to check in to the theater between 10 and 30 minutes before the movie starts. This new plan replaces the ones announced in December. If you’ve already signed up, you can stick to those subscriptions, but new users won’t have that option. In a statement, Ted Farnsworth, CEO of MoviePass parent company Helios and Matheson Analytics, said: We are – and have been – listening to our subscribers every day, and we understand that an uncapped subscription plan at the $9.95 price point is the most appealing option to our subscribers. While we’ve had to modify our service a number of times in order to continue delivering a movie-going experience to our subscribers, with this new offering we are doing everything we can to bring people a version of the service that originally won their hearts.

  31. A screenshot of Cardi B's Instagram Story surfaced earlier this week which read, “Ain’t no hoe taking my spot. Stop BAPPIN." Many thought this was a dig at Megan Thee Stallion but Cardi took to social media to clear up the rumors. Cardi B made it clear that she doesn't have any feud with Megan Thee Stallion. She took to Twitter to clarify the Instagram Story, claiming that she hasn't even really been online in the first place. "I barely been getting online. I haven’t been talking to nobody just straight promoting! Stop putting me in bullshit let me keep minding my business in peace. Thank you," she wrote. Megan Thee Stallion also appeared to address the rumors shortly after Cardi. "If you’re a real hottie, please spread positivity. we real around here and we fw everybody that fw us. No dry hating no dry beef," she wrote on Twitter. Megan Thee Stallion recently addressed the competition among female rappers. She explained the competitive nature is part of hip-hop but at some point, it won't necessarily be like that forever. “I feel like since, like, forever, it has only been, like, one female rapper at a time. And naturally, women are competitive. So I feel like, without beef, hip-hop probably wouldn’t even be what it is, so it’s good to have, like, a little friendly competition here and there,” Megan said told Essence. “ Just because we might be rapping about some of the same things, we’re not doing it in the same way. There’s enough room for all of us to eat. So as soon as we can get that together, then we’ll be all right.” View the full article

He told me of An empty tomb And how Jesus Rose from the dead He doesn't know That empty tomb Is just on paper And in his head Things Could Be Worse That's what he told me But I don't see how If you do, show me Things'll be better When Jesus lifts the curse That's what he said Things Could Be Worse When he was done He passed the plate He needed money To perpetuate The Lord's work And to buy a coat To buy a car And pay the house note Things Could Be Worse That's what he told me But I don't see how If you do, show me Things'll be better When Jesus lifts the curse That's what he said Things Could Be Worse I can't love Jesus I'm not gay I love KymBo Cos she's a babe Things Could Be Worse That's what he told me But I don't see how If you do, show me Things'll be better When Jesus lifts the curse That's what he said Things Could Be Worse Jim Colyer ascap

  42. http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=80 Reflections I began writing songs in December, 1963, in my senior year of high school. While others were mulling over their algebra, I was struggling with lyrics and melodies. My music is a blend of different styles: country, rock, blues and pop. My lyrics are often personal, drawn from my own experiences. I enjoy working with females because it is a challenge to write from the female perspective and fun to go into the studio with pretty girls. Much of my material can be described as “rockabilly for women." There is a Shania influence, and I try to create girly images. Visuals are important in songwriting, and I dress mine in upbeat melodies. I have felt driven to write and record. Maybe I had to pursue music to validate myself, to prove I can succeed in this field. I had the idea of going to Nashville at 19, but it took me a decade to get there because of college and the army. Once in Nashville, I befriended a music major with a studio in his back yard. We recorded song after song and produced an album. Expressing myself in this way was a catharsis. I have had many influences. 1950s rock n' roll started it. From the moment I heard Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog," I wanted that record. An Elvis influence pervades my catalog, evident in songs like "Hard Earned Love." In the 1960s, it was The Beatles. In the 1970, it was Swedish ABBA. I traveled to Stockholm and wrote a book about ABBA. Top 40 was a big deal. I would come home from school and throw myself on the bed with my radio. I bought records: 45s and LPs. I became interested in musicals like West Side Story and Gypsy. I write what I want to hear. If other people like it, okay. I give vent to my emotions. Sometimes it starts with an idea. Sometimes it starts with strumming the guitar and playing chords. A melody comes and suddenly, I have a hook around which to write a song. Sometimes it is easy. Sometimes it is hard. 1997-2003 was a Renaissance! I wrote 200 songs and spent time in the studio. I worked with singers and musicians in Louisville and Nashville. Things slowed when Michael reached college age because I was helping him. Good productions are essential, ones that stress the vocals. People want to hear the singers, and they want to understand the words. Instrumental tracks should support the vocals. Lead guitars and keyboards should stay true to the melodies while improvising enough to create interest. Bass and drums are the foundation, and other tracks sit on their shoulders. The record is the thing! A friend told me I was going to "make it in old age." I want to pass along my best tunes, those that inspire constructive behavior. I think of my Christmas song and my wedding song: "I Promise." One bride-to-be chose "I Promise" from 400 songs. There is no particular audience. I do what is in me, and the chips fall where they fall. If people like what I do, they let me know. I suppose my audience is people who appreciate honest songs and the work that goes into them. I am still doing this at a time when people with more talent have given up. I am still moving in the direction of giving the world classic songs. I have mp3s on my site. People around the world hear my songs and make comments. Johnny Thompson put his vocal on "Save The Planet, my environmental song. I am not afraid to expose my material, and that has helped me get independent cuts. 1963-1972 - Early Years I have written 1500 songs counting the lyrics 2013-16. It started as I was turning 18. I began hearing songs that did not exist, and that made me a songwriter. There was an old, beat-up guitar at my grandmother's house. Chords were easy to make, and I quickly learned to fit them into patterns. I could transpose from one key to another. The problem was, I had no rhythm. That came later! The neck on that old guitar was awful, and its strings dug into my fingertips. The pain in my fingers woke me in the night. Calluses formed! My first songs were about my girl friend and I drifting apart. That is true for most writers. Self-pity is a factor. Most songwriters are introverts, and schizophrenia and the creative process seem related. Creating music which no one else identifies with isolates a person. He finds himself cut off from society, misunderstanding and misunderstood. That is how it was. My mother bought me an electric guitar, a Gibson. I was no guitarist! I banged out chords and screamed, sweat pouring from me on hot summer days. My first songs were imitations of what I heard on radio. Coherent efforts were "Welcome Mat" and "Long Live Rock n' Roll." The culmination of my first period was the gospel songs I wrote after coming out of the army. My religious phase was tumultuous! As America rejected the Vietnam War, I began reading books of a spiritual nature. I delved into the writings of Aldous Huxley and hung out with "Jesus freaks." We went to a Pentecostal church, where the congregation danced in the aisles. We spoke in tongues! I threw away all my possessions except for my clothes, Bible and guitar. I went off the deep end and was admitted to the mental ward of the Veterans Hospital in Louisville. I was given 10 shock treatments. My gospel songs grew from the turmoil, "Jesus Paid My Debt" being the best. I recorded it with Kymberly Bryson 36 years after it was written. No problem because it sounded like it was a hundred years old when I wrote it! It reeked of old time religion! 1973-1985 - Comeback I rose from the ashes! I began going to the Dipperwell, the restaurant where my mother worked. The Dipperwell was run by my mother's cousin, Thelma Lee, and she introduced me to a drummer in a local band. He helped me record "Long Live Rock n' Roll" in a Louisville studio. I did the vocal. We took it to Nashville and pressed 1000 45s. I mailed them to radio stations, publishers and record companies around the country. Doing a record was like a resurrection! Decent songs followed, the strongest of which was "Phoenix," based on the bird of Greek mythology. I was that bird, and I soon found myself in Nashville recording in a makeshift studio in a friend's back yard. I had a 4-channel Teac, and he had a Dokorder. We put the decks together, and our collaboration led to an album with students at Castle Heights Military Academy, where I worked. We called it "Rising from the Ashes." My renditions of "Belle Meade Blues" and "Leaving" were on it. They were comeback songs! Tim Morrison sang "Too Late For Love," and Lori Powell did "Losing Makes You Stronger." Naturally, it was a misadventure! Recording with Amy Plummer that summer, "Sailing Out" came out nice. Those first female songs were really male. I simply changed the pronouns. As things played out, I pressed the final cuts for Jim Colyer Records. My son's mother did "Somebody To Love," and I backed it with "I Am The Greatest" Silence! I realized the futility of making my own records. Years passed before I recorded again. 1989-1996 - Rewrite After becoming a parent, I questioned music and my involvement in it. I had a son to take care of and had squandered my resources. My songs were second generation imitations of what I heard on radio. Few held up, and even those were mediocre. They reflected my life at a particular level. Entering middle age with a kid gave me a different perspective. I retreated to my parents' basement following a divorce. Nothing sounded good, and I spent my time writing a book about Sweden's ABBA. The rewrite began unconsciously. I wrote the lyrics for "Agnetha" and "Stockholm Lady" over old melodies. "When I Was A Boy" evolved lyrics relevant to my own boyhood. I wrote a jukebox musical called "Phoenix Rising," 30 songs pieced together with a story around them with characters and dialog. It dealt with an American soldier named Frank Logan who had a daughter in Sweden he had never seen. Frank was about to father a second child with a young British singer. The plot reflected my infatuation with younger women. I discarded "Phoenix Rising," knowing it was unstageable. The rewrite continued as fragments sprouted verses and bridges. 1997-2004 - Explosion I thought "Save The Planet" could be an international hit and advertised in a Louisville music paper for a vocalist. It triggered a chain of events I could not have foreseen. A lady in Indiana recorded it, but it was no good. Shortly thereafter, a clerk in a video store told me about her cousin wanting to be a country singer. I gave out my phone number, and Ron Coogle called looking for songs for his daughter Rachel. I went to their house with one called "Satisfied." We took it to Doc Dockery's studio in Indiana and did a demo. Rachel performed the song on a TV show for songwriters. Doc then introduced me to Pam Ingold. Pam and I recorded 8 songs, including "Things Aren't Good At Home". Suddenly, I was back in Nashville writing songs on Music Row. I bought Doc's Takamine as songs poured from me. Many were female. I wrote "Always The First Time" for Donna Carter and "Songs About Angels" for the Gentry Cousins. My best work was coming in my 50s during the Shania Twain era. These girl songs were different from the early ones. There was female psychology in them. I was writing as if I were a woman! By now, women sang the way men used to. They were strong and independent, and they liked my tough girl lyrics and rockin' beat. I recorded with Kenny Royster at Direct Image in Nashville. I did "I Promise" with Veda, sub-titling it "Wedding Song", and I began to think it wise to identify my lyrics with entrenched institutions. "Feel So Country" was filled with patriotism and flag-waving! I wrote the lyrics for "Merry Christmas" over the track and promoted it in December. Good Christmas songs are hard to write as the best ones preceded the rock era. I played my songs for ascap writer reps and published them on the Internet. I started jimcolyer.com. Writing female I have recorded with 35 women going back to Lori in 1978. Originally, I was singing everything myself. Finally, I started working with real singers, male and female. I did not care for the females of the Elvis and Beatles eras. It was in the 1970s after women became more assertive that I began paying attention. ABBA did it! I may have listened to Agnetha and Frida as much as any person alive. When Shania Twain appeared in the 1990s, my writing had reached a point where I wrote female without thinking about it. That would have bothered me had I been younger. By now, I thought it cool to write from the female point of view. I enjoyed talking to women about music and going into the studio with them. I cannot recall the girl's name who sang "How Did You Do That", but it has garnered praise from other writers. Writing needs to flow naturally. It should not be based on artificial hooks or ideas someone carries around in a notebook. The best philosophy is to write only when you feel like it. Do not write for publishers, and do not write something you think people are going to buy. Write from yourself. Those songs will last. Having written 1500 songs in 50-plus years, it behooves me to critique my catalog. I am 70. From this point, I am content to reject self-pity songs for those that communicate positive emotions. I want to be identified with songs that inspire people, especially young people. My Christmas song does that. So do the Shania-type songs that tend to encourage young women. There was a time when all I wanted was to get songs out. Now, I am sensitive to the effect lyrics have on listeners. We are affected by the movies we see, the books we read and the music we hear. 2016-2025 - Making It The time came to quit losing money because of music. My catalog must generate income. Music is a luxury, not a necessity. It is egocentric, the songwriter's favorite word being "I." John Lennon could stretch the word "I" over several seconds. From my own list of 200 titles, 70 began with the word "I." Music people care about themselves and their families. They want money, and when they get it, they are gone. Each generation produces its music and rarely relates to that of previous generations. It is like language, tied to the sexual mores of the people making it. Everybody writes, and writers tout their own songs. It is money and self! Radio hits are recorded using state-of-the-art technology, and production cannot be overestimated. Listeners respond first and foremost to sound. Songs are intellectual things. A bad song with a good production can be a hit. A good song with a bad production cannot. The ideal situation is to have both a good song and a good production. I publish on the web! If people like my tunes, they can use their own resources to record them. I am conscientious about what I pitch, being interested in songs with positive messages. Colt Records J.K Coltrain owned Colt Records. One Night Stand was on the label and put "I Looked Twice!" on their CD. There was a release party at the Nashville Palace, March 28, 2009, and Michael went with me. Donna Ray was on Colt Records and recorded "Old Time Country Song". It was very traditional and went to #3 on the SoundClick Country and Western chart. LaDonna Kay in Kentucky did "Feel So Country" for myspace. Katrina Lynn from Pennsylvania recorded "Feel So Country" with David Walker in Lavergne, Tennessee, and put it on youtube. I did a CD called "God Given Talent" with Kymberly Bryson. We recorded at Direct Image and got airplay across northern Europe. Victoria Eman in The Netherlands put "Love Me Just A Little" on her album. Josh Oldaker in West Virginia put "Jesus Paid My Debt" on youtube and on his gospel CD. Josh has pressed 4000 copies and paid me 9.1 cents per copy as required by federal law. It is my strongest demos that are getting the attention of independent artists. Annie Bushmeyer Annie Bushmeyer is from Quincy, Illinois. She said she did not know a soul in Nashville and sat in her apartment the first night thinking, "What have I done?" She soon found a waitress job and started meeting people. I met Annie in a karaoke bar in Nashville the night of April 1, 2014, and was immediately drawn to her! Really, I was looking for a girl to sing over pre-recorded tracks so I could get on youtube. One thing led to another, and I showed Annie "Born To Sing," re-writing the first two lines to suit her. I showed her "Hard Earned Love," and we went in the demo studio at ascap, finally doing 6 vocals. "I Looked Twice!" was number 6. Then, came the crossroads. It was either quit or take Annie to Direct Image and Kenny Royster. I opted for the latter. We laid 3 tracks on September, 30, 2014. It was a rough ride! Kenny had raised his rates, and the approaching winter was to be a hard one. A redeeming factor was that Kenny's musicians had shed all pretense of "old" country. They offered a mix of country, rock and blues with Annie's vocals topping it off! By February, 2015, we had completed 6 songs: "Live My Dreams," "I Looked Twice!," "Born To Sing," "Hard Earned Love," "All Roads Lead To You," & "Love Me Just A Little." We were headed in the direction of an EP. I was sending songs to Internet Radio, and Annie and Johnny Thompson planned a showcase. Annie performed "Live My Dreams" with a band at the Vanderbilt student center. I got the idea of starting an ascap publishing company called "Colyer Bushmeyer Music," and that is what I did. I met with Ryan O'Grady in Membership Services on February 20, 2015, and founded the company. The 6 Annie and I recorded at Direct Image are the best I have done. They were played worldwide on Internet Radio. I have a list of stations I submitted them to. Georgetown Masters on Music Row did the mastering, and Annie and Johnny pressed 1000 EPs at Disc Makers. Annie did the Get It Girl showcase with Drew Haley @ SOUTH, 524 Demonbreun St., June 3, 2015. She performed "Live My Dreams," "Born To Sing" & "Love Me Just A Little." Annie Bushmeyer on The Stars of Tomorrow, July 2, 2015 She did a TV show at KMA Studios in Nashville. After an interview with J.K. Coltrain, she performed "Live My Dreams" & "I Looked Twice!" Annie Bushmeyer on NECAT television, Aug 26, 2015 I set it up for Annie to be on public access TV in Nashville. Jesse Goldberg, whom I knew from the Songwriters Guild, had a show, and Annie performed 3 songs from our EP. Her performance is on youtube. My goal is for my songs to be on major labels with world-class publishing companies like Sony/ATV and Warner-Chappell Music. Revised 2016 Jim Colyer

  43. Heaven or Hell, need to pick ur role, energy feed, to draw ur soul, its all in the choice, so listen to his voice... as these boisterous daemons voices, screaming venomous beaming noises, poison us scheming with lust,/ this matrix so anxious, it seems to torture us, beneath the flux, never stuck in place, nor ever muck the pace, knuckles down with a busted face, buckles the clown in last place, no need to frown, turn it upside down, no longer allow, in, the negative min., that's the beginning, of sinnin... Heaven or Hell, need to pick your role, energy feed, to draw your soul, it's all in the choice, so listen to his voice... and enter his kingdom, his words of wisdom, read em, his people, need em, lead them, reminisin and wishin to envision the mission with in him, its in us all, try never again to fall, by learning to bend the law, why not avoid the flaw, make ties, mend with ya'll, just blessed the call, its all just right, remember always ur in his sight to feel his might, thats the blessing within, ... Heaven or Hell, need to pick ur role, energy feed, to draw ur soul, its all in the choice, so listen to his voice...
