Not sure if you knew this but before I started getting serious about right, recording and performing my own music I started a music podcast and review site called Musicgoat.com. Ya see I love sharing music almost as much as I like writing and playing it. In fact there was a time in my life where I wanted to be a radio DJ.

So why am i telling you this? Well I just wanted to share my latest music podcast with you.

I call the show the Melting Pot since I like a variety of different music. I usually post the show over on Musicgoat.com but I am gonna start putting it up on my PlanetCorey site so you can listen in too.

I call the latest episode “Acoustic Soul And Folk Maintain. I found some great artists that I am sure you will like. The music on this one can be described as mellow, insightful, upbeat, soulful, motivational and would be great to grab a drink and kick back too.

Some artist are local to me – I live in Winona, MN – and others are from as far away as Maine and Portland, OR.

Listen now and share with everyone you know (they will love you for it).

I heard that it was a good idea to explain the meanings behind your songs to help people connect better with both the artist and the song, so I figured I would try it out. Today, i would like to tell you about the inspiration behind my song “How To Change The World”. Also, it gives me a chance to share a sketch about the song which was done by a fantasy football blogger freind of mine, Tom Van Wyhe.

Change The World Sketch by Tom Van Wyhe

Frustration

The theme of this song comes from my frustration with and my desire to reach out to two types of people;

1) People who complain…

…about everything going on around them and not doing anything about it. I know these types of people very well because I was one for a long time and still have to remind myself to this day.

2) People that simply choose to vote for one team…

…or the other as if there are only two – when neither team has done squat for years and years – and then expect things to change. Again, for years I was one of these people.

My Humble Advice

My humble advice (in the chorus) and fictional example of someone making a difference (last verse) both come from personal observation, many years of reading, and advice from people who know. I truly believe that we can all change things for the better but we have to start with ourselves and work outward. Like Ghandi said “You must be the change you wish to see in this world”.

So I guess when it is all said and done, my belief is that the answer to “Change The World” is to start with changing your world.
