For #tuesdaytunes, this is my song history from Amazon music. Two songs I listened to recently that I never heard before were: Mine by Sleep Token and Changes by Black Sabbath. I liked Mine and I liked Changes. I heard Yungblud sing Changes for the Ozzy Osbourne tribute at the MTV VMAs recently and I didn‘t care for his version so I decided to play the original version because I‘ve never heard it before. Sleep Token is a new artist to me.
It‘s me with music again. If you have been following me, you already know.

I think in lyrics all the time. When I saw the prompt for the day, this song came to mind for some unknown reason. It came out sometime in my late childhood, I think. It‘s a sweet song so I‘ll share it in case you might want to listen to it.

#Falling
For #tuesdaytunes, I‘m sharing this music news that I saw on my Facebook newsfeed recently. I‘m not a Beatles fan. I was born in 1990 so I wasn‘t born yet when they were popular. My mom was born in 1961. They were around during my mom‘s time but she never got into The Beatles. She‘s a KISS fan. I don‘t think this is something my mom and I would be interested in watching together. They have some good songs but we‘re not Beatles fans.
pickI enjoyed the insights & found this book relatable as my mom suffered a brain tumor in 2015 & recently an aneurysm with a small stroke. It is very scary knowing someone you love could never be the same while they keep on being there physically. This is explored from the first person & scientific perspective. As a director at the NIMH, studying mental health, the author did not recognize symptoms or feel anything unusual while losing her own mind.
The poem “Brain Radiation” composed by Barbara Lipska while in treatment.
I‘m about 75% through this book and doing some googling about the book & author, I came across the linked NYT article by the author‘s son-in-law. Sad update to her condition, but our own decline is a part of everyone‘s life. We can only try to do our best to stay healthy. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/opinion/cancer-mental-health-wisdom.html?smid...
pickA fun, smart dive into the science of identity and personality. Blends neuroscience, psychology, and humor in a way that‘s both curious and personal. Quirky and thought-provoking.
pickThe author tells his journey of being a reporter and becoming the champion of the US memory competition, through a fluke of chance encounters during research for an article. He tells about the techniques he learned from European competitors and how after one year of training, beat the past US champions and other favorites.
