Welcome Students in November 2019.
Greetings high schoolers and the adult teachers as well. This month some will put on the weight their bodies burned off as fuel all summer long.
This may be family and friends time for many of you. Sleepy time you say?
Well, Daylight saving time in the North America continent ends on November 3, 2019. What does this mean?

Follow these instructions for your clock:
At 2am go to your time piece or clock
Turn the dial or watch hands back to 1 am.

You most likely will not have to do anything for your phone devices. They should update automatically.

Also, you don’t really have to stay or get up at 2am to do this. What makes me chuckle is that quite a number of you teenagers will be up anyway.

Just be aware you will gain an hour of sleep. Do you have to wake up early on Sunday, November 3, 2019? Then you may go to bed an hour later or just enjoy an extra hour of sleep.

One more thought. How are your grades doing? I truly hope you are being successful with the majority of your exams. Who knows, maybe all your grades are 100! Kudos to you. It means you are seriously working on your foundation — a foundation for the future.
It is a wonderful thing to have our minds get the basic fundamentals down so we can solve many equations given enough time.
In closing out this welcome students in November letter, here at the Product of Culture website, we wish you a safe and fun month. Thanks for visiting me here and sharing what you like.

Kind regards, pocbooks.com

Sage In A Matrix

What? The world doesn’t work like that!
Have you ever been told, maybe by a person showing some frustration, the statement above?

Do you remember the thought or action you took in order for the friend or acquaintance to comment through his mind’s eye on the perceived inexperienced on your part?

You are not alone. Childhood is a time where we do a lot of learning along with commendation when we do right; and correction when we do wrong. Thus, by the time we grow into our young adult phase, we have seen the benefit of listening to our parent(s) experience in a large array of matters.

Then, months or years later, depending on your background and culture, you are told something that you’ve seen works, “does not work here”. It can be disconcerting to say the least.

It worked for your parents. Why is there a problem now?
You see, the above experience could possibly be one of those times when you have to take the contradictory statement with a “grain of salt.”

“But how will I know?”

That is such an important question you ask.

The purpose of this series is to answer such questions about professionalism and some business matters. This series is titled SAGE in a Matrix for the following reasons:

A sage is as a wise person. A philosopher loves knowledge but may still not know how to apply the general knowledge on one, or a host of subjects. Some sure love to talk about these topics though with a smile; as they soak in the knowledge of Einstein.- James PoeArtistry

For example, your parents will have taught you tried and proven application of specific topics in your environment with a sage’s skill. Yes, a skill you learned, no; made a part of you in honor and trust. You saw it works.

Now the person who just referenced your experience as naive can cause you to make a self assessment.

Does this person know what they are talking about or are they philosophizing?

There are times your professional career will hinge on being able to tell the difference.

This brings us to the term “A MATRIX“

“A” meaning there is more than one “matrix,” or containment of backgrounds and cultures. You will find communication and professionalism exhibited in different ways with honor and trust. Though it requires extra effort, the key to success could be someone possessing sage like experience.

This series will talk about the fundamentals of contracts, standard operating procedures, and the ethics involved in the decision-making process. At times, you will hear me reference a spiritual Bible quote. Why? Because it is, as we say, part of me. And it is with such knowledge that has stimulated my thinking and reasoning over the years to maneuver through this world’s matrix.

In my experience, I have found most people are spiritual, spiritualistic, or both.

“Huh?”

Well more on that subject in later chapters. Just how does it affect us in professional interactions? Or does it not affect us at all?

I will not be using any “blue language” as old timers used to say in this series; all the same, you will at times laugh at my wonderful, well-timed, witty, over the top, humor! While at other times, you may give me that look, “Oh, no he didn’t!” And my reply, “Yes, I did.”
But at the end of the day, you will be just fine. Just take an aspirin and call mother or a friend in the morning.

Keep this in mind. I’m not claiming to be a perfect sage (Adjectives: wise, sapient, judicious, prudent, sensible, sane mean having or showing sound judgment.), but I assure you I have known and worked with some of them in my life. In the next chapter, I will share some of my applicable skills and experience for a point of reference.

This way when I state something that makes you say “no he didn’t”, you can have confidence that I am able to offer context proof of why it is so. I do my utmost best not to be philosophizing over serious matters that will be life changing to you. I’m just sharing techniques and experience that can help you Perceptive Readers at least in one way, if not more. Ask some of the past highschool students who graduated with 4.0 GPA as readers of this website. Of course, they made those grades on their own.

I’m just sharing you are in cerebral (thinking) company as we say.

As it is, though, the choice is always yours to make in a matrix.

Welcome to Shirley Setia Exciting Articles.
Over the years, this writer’s experience dealt in the relating of facts in real life scenarios and technology. When I placed the Product of Culture Brand aka POCBOOKS.com online back in 2010, it fulfilled my desire to share “Fictional Books of Another Kind.” Which allowed me to share the fun stories to the public that required you to think all the same.

In addition to the above, there are musicians I followed on social media at one time or another; in the process, I wrote articles and events about their music. It not only honed my skills as a writer but also as a podcaster. Still, the top reason is because I appreciate their God given talents. You will appreciate why Shirley Setia’s singing voice is appreciated by… can we say hundreds of thousands by now?

Tu Hi Tha The Official Female Version Song By Shirley Setia!

Shirley Setia continues to portray emotional complexity in her music in ways that must never be lost in any culture or society. Shirley is musically and wonderfully translating a heart-wrenching situation faced by a man and woman-in-love in more languages than Hindi. Shirley, with her singing background uses music to translate the heart’s desire. Yes, the heartbreak in this movie is identified, and the songstress Shirley Setia is telling us all about it which touches us. Even hoping for couples ever facing this to try and reconcile— somehow. Is there a way?

The Talented Shirley Setia in Jab Koi Baat

The Talented Shirley Setia in Jab Koi Baat

Before we view the most significant romantic single of the year ‘Jab Koi Baat’ with Shirley Setia & Atif Aslam prominently featured, let us dive into several others who made such a grand music production as this; shall we?

The Talents in and around the Scenes

Music: DJ Chetas
Lyrics: Indeevar
Director: David Zennie
Produced by: Champak Jain & Girish Jain
Executive Producer: Chetas Shah, Gaurav Chawla (On Stage Talents)
Mix & Master: Lijo George
Styled by: Saachi Ramchandani
Production Agency: Disruptive Media
Promotions: Aayushman Sinha (On Stage Talents)
Special Thanks: Vicky Tulsyan Mourjo Chatterjee

On Stage Talents

Aayushman Sinha, On Stage Talents, is a manager I’ve observed over the past year or so for several reasons. Most assuredly, it is one of his signed talented artists, Shirley Setia, that caught my ears attention (Special Shout out to KHS Kurt Hugo Schneider for the May 2016 collaboration with Shirley).

You see, Aayushman Sinha has a motto that motivates him in everything he does for his business and artists.

“Our motto is to take our artists from their current position and work towards developing and nurturing their talent along with effective marketing and business management of the artists. Our artist management services include – Bookings, Talent Development, Endorsements, PR & Marketing, Co-Creating IP’s, Curation and Programming, Production, Music Management and Tour Management.”

With the above motto/mission statement; Aayushman Sinha allows his signed artists freedom to express their ideas and talents in more than just singing and music production. Artists are often wired (if you will) in a certain way that is not conducive to micro-managing style, but they need the freedom to think (even though their meditation periods take longer than others), to express, and experiment. Aayushman Sinha, over the past two years, shows he not only understands this aspect of musically inclined personality types, he whole heartily supports it. In return, artists signed with him possess a genuineness in their music and expressions because it continues to be nurtured by Aayushman Sinha. SEE TEDx Talks Not Just Another Number In The Roll Call.

The Talented Shirley Setia

There have been quite a number of reports on Shirley Setia here at the Product of Culture website.
But you know, there is one quote that I think and feel needs to be shared annually, if not more often, about Shirley’s music. What is it?

“Shirley Setia continues to portray emotional complexity in her music in ways that must never be lost in any culture or society.”

Do you have a favorite quote of your own about Shirley Setia’s singing style?

The Highlight of The Evening!

It is a pleasure to now feature this film and music production of a Bollywood Love Song.

T-Series Mixtape – Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiya

Published on July 1, 2017

T-Series Mixtape – Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiya

The T-Series Mixtape will move your lips to express “BRAVO” when viewing “Kings Goa presents T-Series Mixtape powered by Saavn. Saavn brings to you the fourth mix from the series is between Tu Jo Mila and Raabta in the voice of Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiya”

Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiyal may have you asking What is the name of their band? Long time fans of Shirley and Jubin will inform you that they are not together in a band. When talented singers like these two perform together the smooth chemistry of music they create then compels new music listeners to exclaim, What? They are not in a band; then maybe they should be?

The above weighing of reasons highlight what makes T-Series Mixtape the place for your ears and eyes to be. Yes, T-Series is in the days of Summer, can YOU say HOT?; mode by bringing India’s (Indo-Kiwi; Hindi musician vocals) finest artists together.
T-Series Mixtape – Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiya
Shirley Setia & Jubin Nautiyal

Appreciating the Experience of Shirley Setia & Jubin Nautiyal

We do not need to know the singer’s intimate background to enjoy their music. However, when you become aware of a musician’s biographic, history of struggles included, and present personality makeup, it enhances the appreciation for his and hers music that much more.

Justin Bieber said more than once, something to this effect: ” It is about the music.” This public statement came after a time when he had given considerable thought about perception; namely, his experiences with all sorts of people.

Justin Bieber Mashup – KHS (The Producer) Features Shirley Setia

What I gathered from watching his interviews and movie Never Say Never, ( Have you ever read the article 10 Things Teenagers Should Know About Justin Bieber? –POCBOOKS ) is that Justin earnestly requested others to place whatever each of us may feel about his personal, though not private, growing pains and mistakes, could we just put that aside and enjoy the music.

Why do I reference what this has to do with musicians and performers like Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiyal?

When a person who sincerely attempts to bring joy to the populace through the profession of making music, the spotlight is not only on their music but also the personality that produces the music. The core individual of who this person is shines to others through the music they create. The agony, triumphs, and love (seen and unseen) they share with others.

Shirey Setia possesses this gift. A comment on Tu Hi Tha Official Female Version Sang By Shirley Setia at this website states this: “Shirley Setia continues to portray emotional complexity in her music in ways that must never be lost in any culture or society. Shirley is musically and wonderfully translating a heart-wrenching situation faced by a man and woman-in-love in more languages than Hindi. Shirley, with her singing background, uses music to translate the heart’s desire.”

Let’s place impetus on ’emotional complexity.’

What music has done, and continues to do for listeners is to provide a deeply moving experience of emotions and thoughts in their hearts that bridge a connection between hearts and minds of the Creator. Music, in the hands (voice) of experienced musicians like Shirley Setia & Jubin Nautiyal, becomes something special to listening audiences. Their diverse background comes together and forms an outstanding tapestry of music! Where our hearts outburst Bravo! Bravo! We experienced this beautiful music on T-Series Mixtape first; where we can clap a little longer for them featuring Shirley and Jubin; Bravo T-Series Mixtape! Bravo!

Spiceworks Relevant Advisers of Information Technology

The year was 2006. A company named Spiceworks held up its creation to the public. This was an answer to many IT Advisers professionals’ dreams. The company designed and created a free network-monitoring tool. Did I mention this tool is free?

This company not only created a valuable software package for small to medium size businesses, moreover, they instituted an online community structure for support.

Even though the ever-increasing capabilities of this network management software could be expounded upon, the scope of this article provides information about the Spiceworks online community.

The majority of the users in the “Spiceworks Community” share a common background of knowledge and application in the information technology field. These bright administrators range from introductory to experts. Why is such an online community helpful? Contrary to popular beliefs, your information technology professional does not know everything. (Coffee cups have just dropped around the world.)

Here is where the beauty of this online community comes in. The beginners can learn from the seasoned users of the network monitoring software. If you add the years of experience for the IT professionals in the Spiceworks Community, the years would number into the millions. How can this be? Here is the answer. The noteworthy achievement of having more than a million professionals to use the software was accomplished in the second quarter of the year 2010. Large quantities of these users/ advisers have over a decade of experience; hence, you can do the math.

The Spiceworks Community is not limited to giving advice just for its product. This online community is subdivided into groups the user can join. These groups help you to narrow down subjects that are of high concern to you and your job. You are able to subscribe, create discussions, and receive e-mail notifications when someone posts in the groups.

Notice just a few of the interesting subjects mentioned in the forums:
Do you have questions about Windows operating systems? Then the “Windows” IT category would be the one for you. See list of today’s popular IT categories:

SECURITY- There are professional advisers in here that will help you to understand the layering principles of security.

SOFTWARE- What’s out there. How you implement and troubleshoot your choices.

STORAGE AND BACKUPS- This is the first thing everyone needs to have in places but there are many choices. Peruse the many suggestions here.

VIRTUALIZATION- No longer for enterprise level businesses only, understand what virtualization is and why it is an important solution for small business too.

CLOUD- People realize everything is stored on servers throughout the world’s Internet. Understand the different components and services people are using to be a part of the all encompassing Internet named “Cloud”.

Ratings and Reviews

Do you need research and ratings on hardware, software, or other information technology services? Then you will want to search through the “Ratings and Reviews” section of the community.

Hey, as an IT guru, do you just want to share how you have solved the complexities of the universe? The “Water Cooler” group would be the one for you. This group’s topics alone continue to grow exponentially. Good thing the universe is infinite!
SpiceWorld and SpiceCorps

This online community has implemented other avenues for the IT professionals to meet in one or two ways.

First, there are the “SpiceWorld” events they have each year. All in this online community are encouraged to attend. An article could be written alone about this event. The workshops, breakout sessions, and vision of the company are shared in a spirit of comradely. Such a setting is conducive to learning.

Additionally, there are localized area groups called “SpiceCorps.” They discuss general issues related to information technology in a relaxed atmosphere.

This online community has evolved in such a way that it is not viewed as a byproduct of the Spiceworks network management software, but an intricate part of a valuable service.

In closing, the Spiceworks online community is designed to help anyone to become knowledgeable and efficient in their jobs

Havasi Music Interpretation
Spring Wind A Havasi Music Interpretation

This article was restored along with the rebuild of the Product of Culture website that happened on May 7, 2019. May 28, 2019 is the date of the Spring Wind – Song Interpretation by Havasi restore. Thank you for the patience to all the ones that have been missing this article. I apologize for the delay. Have a beautiful day! – James (author/writer)

Spring Wind – Folk Song

In Havasi’s interpretation of Spring Wind, you receive a clearer understanding why stories of old, in this case, folk songs, continue to live on anew for each generation. Lifetime, after lifetime, the parents pass on these stories/songs to their children.

What are Folk Songs?
Spring Wind – Song Interpretation by Havasi – Folk Songs

Folk songs are characterized as being oral traditions among people in a common area. It involves speech, idioms, spirituality, and culture. Some families also possess their coat of arms, in a manner of speaking, traditions and experience. These oral traditions, poetry, and stories have been passed along to help children to understand the life around them, work, and very importantly, love. Not just a passing statement humans make at times, “Hey, you know I love you.” All the more so, these stories when told from the point of “I really, really, want you to understand what I am saying here about this view; my outlook, and my feelings,” then the words take on a larger meaning. Yes, UNDERSTANDING and LOVE become a flowing river that regularly refreshes the minds and hearts of a new generation to history and ideas that could have been or be lost otherwise.
THE STORY IS NEVER FORGOTTEN

The reason these folk stories are never forgotten is that they do involve the mind and heart. It is the mother, father, or both who routinely spends time with their children to tell/teach them these stories and songs.

Some can remember falling asleep at night to these bedtime stories. Others with an extended remembrance of being in their mother’s bosom still can relate that feeling of safety as she hummed a soft melody or told a story that comforted them to sleep. Such experiences stay with you forever.

Havasi The Musician

Spring Wind – Song Interpretation by Havasi – The Musician

Havasi is a skilled musician and composer that places him in the imaginative rhythms of virtuosity. You see, there is an ability for such a person to produce music that touches every single complexity of emotion humans experience. This is an excellent gift. The potential for such a musician is one for all to contemplate impartially.

Spring Wind – Song Interpretation by Havasi

Havasi creates an atmosphere for the story he wants to tell with music. His Spring Wind interpretation of this loved folk song becomes personal for us. You may have never known anything about the land of Hungary, but you do now.
You may not have experienced the culture of these people, but you have now.
You may have never thought about the beautiful way in which Havasi interprets this folk song language, and yet now, you may relate, this is how I also perceptively connect with it in the languages of my mind’s eyes and humming heart’s rhythm.
Such experiences stay with you forever.

Enjoy now Havasi’s interpretation of Hungary’s most loved folk song performed live at the Budapest Arena.

A COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

Have you listened to the Jasmine Thompson Colour album? What about the music videos accompanying this album? Here on the Product of Culture website we will talk about all of it. First, I want to mention a Billboard Exclusive for you.
The Colour EP came out on April 5, 2019.
This Article was repaired or refurbished. It was originally posted on July 10, 2019 Check the site archive.today for verification of pocbooks.com online presence.

Billboard mentions all the instruments that makes this such a wonderful album! And it makes supporters of Jasmine feel proud of her writing skills in collaboration with the producer Eg White.
Adele and Sam Smith are additional notable names where he used his talents in album production.
Billboard gives us this bit of news about the song “Loyal,” How it is so heartfelt.In this song we hear horns, percussion, and piano instruments.
As I have stated in the onset, and before in conversation, use of such instruments on the Colour EP gives a 1920s sound to it. I originally stated it sounds like the mid 1900s to present day.
In the next section I will talk on the subject of what this album will mean for some readers here including myself. This means I will be including statements from Billboard’s exclusive with Jasmine Thompson. What these songs mean for her as a singer and songwriter.
It will be made clear when I quote her interview and when I am in my assessment or commentary mode.
It is my hope you will enjoy the full production music and lyrics videos placed in this article. At the conclusion of this reading, you will also have links to Jasmine’s channels like Spotify, Official website, and stores.
There is also the professional manager of the Official Jasmine Thompson Fan Site. His name is Stefan. The links to all these social accounts will be in a well put together section near the end of this article.
Thank you for visiting and sharing the Product of Culture website with your friends and family! Shall we begin with The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson Commentary?

“Loyal” The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

Billboard Exclusive | Jasmine states:

Loyal was written in two parts. I was in a relationship that was great, so I decided to write a couple of verses about our story. Eg came up with the first round of chords and I said to him, “It would be incredible if we could get a sort of brassy sound for the song.” Eg, being Eg, pulled out a saxophone that I had never seen, and began to play the main line and put it through a vocoder…After 6 months, we got back in to finish the song. I had gotten out of the relationship and thought that we should add more to the end. Eg had added this beautiful piano breakdown to the song and I was so excited. I think it really reflected the change in perspective about my relationship. This song definitely opened doors for how we approached the production of the rest of the EP.

Perceptive Readers & Music Lovers Thoughts

People love people and people love animals. These are the sentient or conscious living creatures that need each other’s loyalty. Without it, where would we be? You see, being loyal causes us to stick with another through hard times even when they are:

“ Treating me like dirt!”

Have you ever heard some one say that about another person?

Then maybe you were the one who replied,

“Loyal like a dog.”

Present and past owners have experienced on days they were not feeling their best and could not walk their family pet, he/she would bring you the leash/collar and give a light bark to remind you it was time for that one mile walk or jog.
When you stayed in the bed your faithful companion licked you to see if that would work. Now, for some of your animal family connections, tell the rest of us if you experienced this:“Angel, I’m really not feeling well today,” or “I’m sick.” The response to your feeling ill, a “Woof, with a whine”
Then, if you allowed it, your faithful companion jumped up on the bed to protect and comfort you all day. The missed walk forgotten and forgiveness granted all in less than one billionth of a second; if not that long.
Your inability to fulfill your responsibility to your family pet, did not stop he or she from fulfilling their loving role to you.
Jasmine Thompson is a sensitive soul. Just take a look at her real life thoughts on matters. In the song “loyal,” you know for sure that even though her relationship took the turn for the worst she would honor the “light” or all that was special about it. Indeed, precious about it.

In times past, this one writer, who sometimes talked with people having marital difficulties would say to each joined couple:

“What is it that made you fall in love with this person in the first place?” Sometimes it took more than a few minutes to receive the answer from both. But after some tears, well the ladies would cry, and the men just had dust in their eyes. Even though, we were in a class 1 clean area environment living room. Somehow the atom size particle in the room found its way into the men eyes.After heartfelt reflection by the both, it served as a motivator for them to honor that period of light where they were “head over heels” for one another as a cultural idiom goes. Yes, “bent over backwards” to take care of one another with understanding.

“Loyal” Official Music Video

“More” The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

Before the EP went to mix, we were a little bit unsure of how to finish this song and resolve it properly. When I was 16, I wrote a song that had a very similar concept, but I never did anything with it. It was just hidden in my voice memos for two to three years. I’ve always wanted to have a secret track, where you have to wait a while after the end of a song and then a whole new little song appears. We dropped the voice note at the end of the song and I crossed it off my bucket list.

Perceptive Readers & Music Lovers Thoughts

“More” is a song that sings about a range of adult feelings. Jasmine is at that age between 18 and 21 when they are doing more than thinking about the romance of life as a fairy tale, but how it requires hard work at times to learn the give and take of it all. How willing are each of us to approach a special personality in our life with all humility and say what is needed to help that person with whatever it is they sincerely need in life?In this age we live in, often people have to talk so much about being tough in this “cruel world” that we lose a sensitivity to others needs and the humility to even give it.

How do you Perceptive Readers feel about this?As teenagers grow up, there is still an importance to maintain a childlike attitude; not naivety, but maintain the humility to ask and be willing to do what will help your significant other. This helps in all relationships, but especially when two people already have quite a bit in common.How much More will you give for what is needed?

“Some People” The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

This song took us a really long time to finish production. It started off as a very chilled song, which is based on trying to make sure a friend knows that they are loved. Eg and I didn’t feel like we could nail the production on our own, so we started to look at bringing another producer in. [U.K. producers] MEZZ really helped us see the song in a different light.

Perceptive Readers & Music Lovers Thoughts

Just like what you have read in the ‘More’ section, Jasmine talks about trying to make sure a friend knows they are loved.
I love this song, I more than identify with what Jasmine shows us in this moving music video production of this song. Yes, it is making a powerful statement; yet with Jasmine’s voice, you hear a yearning and sincere desire to help.
Something to keep in mind when someone you meet has been betrayed; saying and trying to force them to trust you just because you smile or are now running in the same circle together is not going to cut it for everyone. It depends on how often they’ve been betrayed in life and the scar extent of the damage. A lot of people in positions of trust know this to be true. Positions of trust, meaning professional caregivers, in fields from the medical to the spiritual responsibilities.
It does not mean you have to be a professional in a position of trust to know or learn this as a friend. It means you do have a reference point of experience to call upon if it does not come naturally to you.
Jasmine said MEZZ really helped them to see the “Some People” song in a different light, and we certainly appreciate the insight MEZZ brought to the table. From group gatherings, to intimate conversations, that you and your friend both need. There is a time for everything. A time to be sociable in large crowds and a time for private conversation.For the friend that has more of a quiet or introverted personality, he or she will often gain so much more a happy feeling of value from one true friend, then a hundred acquaintances. This too, sage (experienced) like persons in positions of trust know and understand this to be the case as well. Inasmuch, make application in the manner with a cause no further harm desire.Remember there is a time for everything. As you find the balance, more than one friend will find your presence a blessing, as the cultural expressions goes which is based in principle.

“Take Care” The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

Normally, verse melodies start lower, so you don’t give away the lift of the chorus. But on this day, I really wanted to try something new and use my falsetto more. The original demo was a lot higher, so it all sounded very petite and floaty. This song was very close to not being on the EP…We finished this song on the night before going to mix. It was so nerve wracking, I have never been so excited and stressed at the same time while trying to finish this song before the deadline. It felt so good, going home at 2:00 a.m. after spending the whole day trying to solve the puzzle.

I found it interesting that “Take Care” almost did not make it on the EP. Do you hear the anguish is Jasmine’s voice singing this song? Let me tell you, with one more cultural expression, “We need to wrap that up” tone and singing style “and sell it in a bottle” so everyone can sing like that. You can be sure I am chuckling while saying this to others.I one time, oh I mean my friend, tried to hit a note like Jasmine, and let me tell you, even the lions at the zoo ran into their cages.
The song, Take Care, shows the depth of a woman’s love. Make no mistake about it, over the years, you heard stated here about the marvelous ways we are created. Women have been bestowed with talents and insights that deepen the more they love you. Not that men don’t possess these qualities, because they most certainly do. However, from an early age you will see the female gender have or develop these sensitive and loyal qualities at a faster pace.
It is the nurturing mindset. This is why when you hear Jasmine sing:
Take care please remember There’s an always open door Come back to me Come back to me Take care go and be that That stupid man I know Give your love away Then come back for me
A lot of men, have heard similar sentiments. That is; the mental challenge part Jasmine is referencing.Yes, some men find out the first year of marriage what a mental challenge it is by their mature wife! Though I am making light-hearted statements about the first year of couples, there are hurtful situations that happen in some relationships where the anguish that Jasmine is able to place in this song is heard from either one or both mates.
Here is the point. A lot of women inner desire is to still reconcile if the man’s desire is there as well. Yet, as one family member may say, “But you better straighten up and fly right.”

“Amen” The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

This song is probably two years old, or more. We wrote this song with so much passion and it was a very emotional day. [The] original demo was a lot more aggressive and it kind of blew your ears off, so when we had the week to finish of production, we tried to see how else we could decorate the song. It had always been a very negative and melancholic song, but that week, something new had clicked into place. I could suddenly hear a happier, more jumpy version. We started experimenting with table harps and different melody lines and it all fell into place.

You know what? I love Jasmine’s new album; however, I love, love, this song. Really, then, I want to know how can I buy the rights to this song, like the way I purchased the COLOUR EP on the Apple store.Okay, this may be a little too much. Still, I used a form of hyperbole to express just how much I like this song. One day, I may be able to hit the Amen note, I sure say it enough.

And those horns!

Amen, so be it, let it be written and let it be done. It is my whole mind’s agreement with heart strings pulled, this song and the whole EP shows us that Jasmine’s voice has a special quality of sound. Her writing utilizes her ability to share her story to us in ways we most certainly can relate, no matter what the year we were born in that makes us an adult with a childlike innocence (without naivety) in age.

Concluding Thoughts- The COLOUR of Jasmine Thompson

In conclusion, I just want to share this is the second EP I have purchased of Jasmine’s craft. Even though she is a singer, in my mind, I know she can out marvelous feats with her voice. It is a beautiful thing to sooth someone with healing words and cause people to feel happy with the tongue period.Another one of life’s gifts.
I want to once again thank the Jasmine Official Fanpage for the use of the images on the Product of Culture website over the past couple of years.
The same goes for her managers, mother(father) and of course Jasmine.
Always wishing the best for them, and you Perceptive Readers, and music lovers. Kind regards
