Multiple studies have shown that this distancing has led to many health issues including anxiety and a rising number of panic attacks. Modern technology has made it possible for us to distance ourselves from each other. However, the same research shows a large percentage of these same people say they would have no one to turn to if they needed money for a catastrophic emergency. More people believe they have more friends than ever. The research has also revealed that Social Media plays a role in this. Researchers also found that nearly 60% of Americans say that nobody really knows them. This according to a study from researchers at the University of California, San Diego in December of 2018. And in Genesis 2:18 the Bible tells us that "God said it is not good for us to be alone." And yet, three out of ever four Americans say they are lonely. From birth we cannot survive without human relationship. And I began to be so thankful for the Church itself and the Church's impact in my life and how they had disciples me and grown me up." - Michael Cochren. I found myself super thankful to have a community of believers where you could have that happen, where there could be something go on between 2 people, but by the Spirit and the Word you could still live in harmony with each other. It was a Thursday afternoon and after some of that had gone done, people had been reconciled to each other. "We had had some drama go down at our church. Oh, I want to go, want to go, I want to go Now I’m making my way to the foot of the cross Tried to walk on my own but I wound up lost I was blind to the truth, didn’t know what I had Engineer Jack Tansin.There was a time that I swore I would never go back Music produced & arranged by Joe Tansin, Directed by Joe Tansin – Director of photography Chris Hume, Dean Ford – Vocals, Joe Tansin – Guitar, Banjo, Keyboard, percussion & backing vocals, Jon Gold – Organ, Jen Kuhn – Cello, Rick Sailon – Fiddle. In 2014 Dean recorded this stunning new version and video for ‘Reflections Of My Life” which rivals the tear-jerking original. Dean never mentioned his days as a musician to any of them.ĭean Ford passed away in December 2018 from complications of Parkinson’s disease. where his many celebrity passengers included Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan. Moving to Los Angeles, he then battled alcohol addiction in 1979. Original singer Dean Ford left the band in 1974 and released a solo album in 1975. in January 1969.Īlso see my story about The Beatles 1968 album: White on Whiteįurther iterations of Marmalade ensued through the decades (still touring today) with numerous revolving members. Marmalade’s single of Beatles’ cover versions reached No. Although the Beatles never released a single from their epic self-titled 1968 double masterpiece (known as the white album). The single hit No.1 in Australia, Switzerland and Japan. Speaking of the Beatles, Marmalade released a single covering their songs ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’ with the B-side ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’. The song was written by singer Dean Ford and guitarist Junior Campbell who played a strange backwards guitar solo using a back-masking recording technique pioneered by the Beatles on their 1966 album Revolver. The most successful was ‘Reflections of my Life’ which made the top 10 in the USA and reached No. They had ten songs on the UK singles chart from 1968-1972. The Scottish pop group The Marmalade (later, simply Marmalade) from Glasgow formed in 1961 as the Gaylords. The song’s first line immediately takes us from light into darkness… We rarely saw the faces behind the voices emitting from our AM radios, and I wondered who was singing this beautifully sad, yet hopeful song of longing. Trumpets and sweeping strings add grandeur, giving the song a timeless quality. Although the lyrics are despondent, the song is in a major key rather than in melancholy minor. ‘Reflections Of My Life’ evokes feelings of joy and sadness at once. Although I was only a pre-teen, I knew that one day I would miss my home and had fears about the unknown future. ‘Reflections Of My Life’ by Marmalade was constantly on the radio in 1969. Looking ahead, he knows that the world is “a bad place, a terrible place to live” buthe vows to make changes and has a strong will to survive. The singer yearns to go back home – as we all do. One of my favorite songs of all time speaks of nostalgia. We all know that a song can bring us back to a place in time – feeling with all of our senses as if we are transported and in the midst of a super realistic dream.
