'Always You' is a true story about the dreams and love a Black man has for his wife through the music in his lifetime. As a child of the sixties and seventies, I grew up under the influence of the 'make love not war' era. It was generational music that transformed America. It played a major role in stopping wars, putting a face on racism, unmasking sexism, and creating an awareness of caring about mother nature. The genre of music, tempo, or beat, didn't matter because the message was always the same. Stories about love, heartbreak, peace, and happiness. These heart-felt stories manifested inside my childhood dreams and transformed me. They became my reality. Over the years, this music began to constantly play in my head, guiding me through difficult times. Life and death decisions were made with a song playing in my mind. Each song correlating with all my life adventures. It somehow created an immune system within me to stave off dolefulness, fear, and uncertainty. This allowed judicious decisions to be made. I believe God spoke to me through this music ... guiding me, leading me, and loving me. At 67 years of age, maybe it was time to take complete personal ownership of my life. Maybe it was time to grow up and stop living in a world of endless dreams. Maybe it was time to turn the music off.
