Matt-Q: Music,Humanities and Language Educator, Vocalist, Songwriter, Executive Film Producer, Vocal Pedagogy Specialist and Special Educational Needs (SEN) Champion
"I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE" BY MATT-Q (History through Music) https://lnkd.in/g9VakNFe "I Could Not Ask for More" is a song written by Diane Warren, a highly acclaimed songwriter known for her numerous hits across multiple genres. The song was featured in the soundtrack of the 1999 movie "Message in a Bottle," which starred Kevin Costner, Robin Wright, and Paul Newman. The film's romantic theme resonated with the song's lyrics, helping to boost its popularity. The late 1990s were a time of economic prosperity in the United States, with the dot-com boom leading to increased wealth and consumer spending. However, this period also saw growing concerns about issues such as globalization and the digital divide. Socially, the era was marked by a sense of optimism and stability, which is often reflected in the music of the time. Although "I Could Not Ask for More" was released before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the song's themes of love and appreciation gained new significance in the aftermath of the tragedy. In the years following 9/11, there was a heightened emphasis on personal relationships and emotional connections, as people sought comfort and stability in uncertain times. On a personal note, this song resonates with me, especially I observe that we live in times where there is growing disenchantment and lack of meaningful satisfaction as both young and old grapple with confusion of identities and who or what they are really meant to live for. We swing like a pendulum from one supposed identity to another and yet, we find that we are never satisfied and still 'ask for more'. #diannewarren #Icouldnotaskformore #americanidol #clayaiken #matthewqueksingapore #ballads #historymatters

Advertising Creative MisChief. Art Director/Photographer/Copywriter/AI Explorer. In search of better questions.
Regarding last night's #PresidentialDebate2024, I believe this is an ideal moment to share one of my favourite videos - #LaurieAnderson's 2010 "Another Day in America." Anderson, a pioneer in experimenting with technology, used a vocoder to make her spoken or sung words sound as if they are also being sung by an instrument, creating an eerie 'voice of authority'. The closing question in the clip, "How do we begin again?" resonates with prescience and foreboding, suggesting that the American Dream is swiftly fading for many. It's truly worth a listen. Anderson's #creative work, often described as #avantgarde, represents cerebral rock at its finest. A human kaleidoscope of thought-provoking ideas and concepts. The world desperately needs more artists like Anderson. My favourite quote from her is: Art is about paying attention. And we need to pay extra special attention to events in the months and years ahead. #art #music #usa #concepts #creativity #prescience

Executive Director, Boulder Crest Arizona | Supporting Veterans, Military Families, and First Responders Through Posttraumatic Growth Training | US Army Veteran
Everybody struggles. We're all human, so it's normal that some days are going to be harder than others for one reason or another. Today, a combination of things left me feeling a little "off" from my norm. It was the normal emotional letdown after the successful conclusion of some significant work events and programs, some memories and feelings that were accessed after attending a memorial ceremony earlier this week for federal law enforcement agents here in southern Arizona, and the challenges of some personal relationships that aren't in a place where I'd like them to be right now. Fortunately, thanks to everything I learned about Posttraumatic Growth and how to struggle well courtesy of the Warrior PATHH program at the Boulder Crest Foundation, I was able to take this day where I felt some challenges and turn it into something positive so I am headed into my weekend in a better place. I did some self-regulation, engaged in some wellness practices, and worked through that struggle effectively. What worked for me today? A little smattering of: -Music---on my commute to work this morning, I totally jammed along with one of my favorite playlists and sang along to my heart's content, -Physical activity and nature---we needed firewood, so I did some old-fashioned log splitting with an axe to get out of my head and enable a deeper understanding of those emotions and feelings, -Old friends---you can't make old friends, so those that have been around a long time are invaluable. Just having them around and being present makes a positive impact. It's ok to struggle and it's ok to have hard days. The key is knowing what to do with those struggles so you can turn them into strength and growth. I'm choosing to thrive and use these experiences to make me the best version of myself. What are you doing with your struggles? #PosttraumaticGrowth #ptg #StruggleWell #ShiftHappens #WarriorPATHH #VeteransHelpingVeterans #Veterans #FirstResponders #BoulderCrestFoundation In the spirit of not being able to make old friends and cherishing those who have stuck with you for a long time and my love for music, here's a little something extra special for your Friday afternoon: https://lnkd.in/gS4hXCvG

Parktown Boys Band’s Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us" perfectly embodies Kendrick Lamar's wisdom: "You do it for the entertainment, I do it for the culture." In an era where politics often feels like a spectacle, his quote hits differently. While many chase likes & views, true artists & leaders focus on cultural impact and meaningful change. It's a reminder that our government should be working for all our diverse cultures, not just putting on a show. We need substance over style, unity over division, love over fear, & active progress over empty promises. Cheers to those who use their platform to elevate culture, spark important conversations, & bring people together. That's the kind of energy we need - in music, in politics, & in our communities.
