YouTube musicians check out @MetalHeadHippie
@TempleOfTheMartyrs did a cool and flattering cover version of this tune. You could check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=vV5piG2tITU
More back story than you want to know:
A colleague of mine was talking with her six-year-old niece. The girl says āAunt Ashley, Iāve already had three treats today! I saw the sunrise; that was the first treat.ā Obviously this is totally adorable, but also cool advice. Following this, Ashley and I would share our ātreats of the day.ā Small, random things that occur as we go through life that make one smile or lifts oneās spirit. I think this is a powerful meditation. You donāt need to keep a spreadsheet or anythingā¦ just notice the small joysā¦ the ātreat of the day.ā
I didnāt think treat of the day was a particularly musical phrase so I messed around with it a little bit.
The verses were written by famous depressed guy, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, over some minor chords. Then one āopens their heartāā for the chorus.
Lyrics:
V1: The heart-ache and the natural shocks that mortal flesh is heir
The slings and arrows outrageous fortune loosed through the air
Donāt lose all your mirth and be left not knowing where
Under this excellent canopy there is beauty every where
V2: Waiting on too solid flesh to waste into a dew
When weary, stale and flat seem the worldās uses to you
In the unweeded garden where all has gone to seed
There may be random beauty if ya open eyes to see.
Ch: Open my eyes
To rare and subtle sights
Expose my heart
Petite and random delights
Open my soul
Alleviate the night
Open my heart
We will explore the light
