Special Guest: David Young
In today Healing From Within, your host Sheryl Glick an intuitive healer medium and author of The Living Spirit, welcomes David Young , author of Channeling Harrison, who provides the Most Heavenly Music on Earth as he shares how synchronicity faith and destiny propelled him forward to live a life of sharing the magic of life through his music and books.
David will share his musical journey and spiritual awakening process and as I feel all great art is inspired by a powerful higher Universal Energy we may come to see how synchronicity talent hard work and faith led to David Young, musician, producer, artist to become one of the most successful independent artists of his time.
David’s musical experience began in California after getting several jaywalking tickets, a speeding ticket and needing money to pay the fines and with 100 dollars left to his name, David moved out of his apartment and into a friend’s place and was desperate. Earlier that month, he met a girl who played the harp at Venice Beach and invited David to play with her. Soon there was a huge crowd and money was raining down into our basket…..They both recorded a tape and called our music Celestial Winds and sold them at the beach. Later they were sold at festivals all over the country.
Sheryl wonders how being a middle child may have influenced why he began to play two flutes at once. David says, “People were saying, ‘Oh look at that beautiful girl playing the harp’ and he felt invisible which drove him nuts…David was always the lead singer and lead guitarist of his bands and had always been at the center of attention and ALSO was a middle child often who look either for attention or are overachievers. After a couple of months of playing the same 8 or 9 songs about 30 times a day she was still getting all the attention so David began to play the 2 flutes at once and then got ALL the attention.”
David started playing the recorder in the 3rd or 4th grade..Sheryl says she began in College as it was required for a major in education and for becoming a teacher.. Sheryl says, “I was awful at it too. Even though I love music, singing off key and dancing in my own way.” You say by the second year you figured out how to play by ear while listening to the radio….Sheryl Says I am always amazed that people who don’t read music like my grandmother but played the piano beautifully.
David describes his music sounding like elements of Cat Stevens, John Mellencamp and Jethro Tull. Great Music is timeless. Cat Stevens makes you feel and think about life. John Mellencamp writes about our culture and it makes you want to move and have fun. Jethro Tull is instantly recognizable because he plays the flute and there’s not many flute players in rock and roll. David says he doesn’t actually play the flute, it’s a renaissance flute called a recorder.
David wrote a song that Sheryl believes speaks for all of us and our search for Truth…The song is I’m still Missing You.
I wish I really knew what life was all about
Why some people have so much and others live without
I wish I had a dream that really did come true
But I really wish I knew why I’m still missing you
I wish I really knew why this world has so much pain.
Why we live and why we die and then do it all again.
And if I ever understand all the struggles I’ve been through,
Then maybe I’ll understand why I’m still missing you
I wish I really knew why so many people cry,
Oh I wish that I could sing the world a lullaby,
If we helped one person, the good that we could do
And then maybe I’d find a way to stop missing you.
Sheryl says, “For me, that song expresses my journey and search for knowing who we are and discovering that as souls we are spiritual beings having a physical life so we may come to know that the main purpose for living is loving and refining our soul essence to a higher consciousness or awareness.
