Unique Times

Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

My brilliant song writer friend Rhonda Gessow, who you have heard me talk about a few times before here, sent me this lovely email right after my last post “Morning Altars” came out on Monday. In case you missed it, the video is up and running now and you can see it here.

Getting her email was an affirmation that our word in print matters and that in letting go…. we open ourself up to healing and next endeavors. You may remember the song I posted that Rhonda shared called You Are The Star in honor of the Military wives and their children. Her son, our friend, has served in the military for longer than we like and her daughter in law and granddaughter are the stars of that song.

Rhonda understands the time that goes into writing. She just completed a 2 1/2 year songwriting course, practicing and studying 12 hours plus each week, with songwriter teacher, Jai Josefs. Rhonda is a dear friend from my home town and reads everyone of my posts and comments (I’m in awwww).

This new song, “Ship Has Sailed” that she co-wrote with Eduardo Alvarez (Ed Varez) is going to knock your socks off. It did mine, and they have had over 6,000 views in the last 8 days, which speaks for itself. I’ve been singing the tune everywhere I go and it definitely puts the Yay in my day and it’s only Tuesday!!! ❣️I will be posting the official music video in a few weeks but I wanted to share this now, hot off the press.


In here own words:

Hi Cindy,

I saw your post today about letting things go. I was going to wait to send the song “Ship Has Sailed”, that I wrote with Eduardo Alvarez, (who also sings, produces, plays multiple instruments) until I had the official video, but it seems timely to your post.

The song is about finally realizing it is time to give up on a relationship when you have given it everything you have, yet, you continually get hurt by the person over and over again.Ship Has Sailed” is when you can finally say to yourself, yes, I could try again, but I’m pretty sure the same thing will happen. I’m ready to say “it’s over” and “that ship has sailed”. It’s never too late to move on from the past, and find something new, even if that means being alone for awhile.

For those poets in your group, it also shows that songwriting, like poetry, uses different rhyme schemes, metaphors, sensory writing, and imagery.I attached the lyric video link above, if you decide to post it. If not, I’ll send you the official video in a few weeks.
Keep writing! I’m always so impressed with all of your works!!!

Rhonda xoxo

LOVE THIS: Ship Has Sailed Rhonda Gessow Song Writer and Eduardo Varez Singer, instrumental and acoustics

Of course I’m grinning ear to ear, and I’ve been listening to this amazing song “staying stone cold sober” as that Ship Has Sailed which reminded me of my last post Winter Wonderland Love on MasticadoeresUsa There are no accidents. More fun to share on Fri-Yay Funday!

Have a blessed day and remember ships come in and sail, when the time is right. Let Go of the ship in the night that sailed past you and wait for the next one that lands in your harbor.

Blessings to you as you turn up the volume when you play the song. Please give it a like if you would be so kind. Thanks for listening and thank you Rhonda from the bottom of my heart, for your kind words and for sharing this song with us,

❤️

Cindy

Great post, Cindy. Yes, words are amazing with their power to hurt, heal, or make others feel all sorts of emotions. I can see why you were touched by her letter and thoughts as Rhonda was yours.

Kudos on the song! Sometimes we have to listen to a song several times before it grows on us, and then there are tunes like this that we instantly like. Those are the ones with staying power.

Thank you to everyone who listened to “Ship Has Sailed”. I think we have all been hurt at some point in our lives, and it is good to know when to hang on to a relationship, and when to let go. Cindy, you were very nice to post the song on your widely read blog which I so enjoy. When I read your post “Morning Altars”, I knew we were sending the same message, using different words. You said, “Write down everything you want to release and let go of…Burn baby burn…Yep burn it up and let it go!”
Another thing I learned from this project which many of you do all the time, is that collaboration is fun, and you learn so much from the talents and gifts of others. So I thank Ed very much for working with me as well.
Cindy, you have a terrific community of writers, collaborators, and readers. You give so much of yourself to others, and you are very appreciated!

Oh, My Cindy, Loved your post – especially the truth and bittersweet of – “and that in letting go…. we open ourself up to healing and next endeavors.” I love the way your writing is growing and so much more emotional!! I guess the proof in all the published works you are racking up!! Yeah!!!

I really loved Rhonda’s and Eduardo’s song “Ship Has Sailed” Great title, Great lyrics and melody too!! I love it if you might be willing to pass this along to Rhonda – “for me, the lyrics are amazing!!! The song is great too. For me, however the lyrics and music seem to be calling out to be a Jazzy torch song and not one that runs by at the fast tempo that Eduardo recorded it at. For me, it feels that at the faster pace the emotions, message and feelings in the lyrics get passed by too fast. Rhonda’s words need a slower pace to be absorbed and felt.
See if you can get her to have Eduardo record it at a slower speed. So in the verses it feels like more of a bittersweet love song – more like a torchy jazz song as I mentioned! As is it has the feel of a fast latin song instead of a romantic – slow dance – good-bye!!” Pitch it to her like that – the song should have more of a slowish, dance feel. Ask her to have him dance with her and sing it slower to her face as a last good-bye. I think they will both get it.

When I listened to it I loved it, but the meanings and emotions of the words didn’t have a chance to sink in because of the speed of the music. Just me, Dear! Don’t be shy about asking! I only offer this because I absolutely adored her lyrics (and I care) and can imagine two lovers letting go with this as their last song ever. Let me know if they are willing to give that a try!
Chuck

Ha, better to let the ship sail than to have to jump off the boat. Swimming ashore may not be an option. A lively, catchy tune with some words of wisdom, Cindy. 🙂

I love the musicality of the song…the beat has a feel good vibe despite the intention to move on and let go.

I also above all love how the chorus was written. It has a solid hook.

Thank you Cindy for sharing.
