Ted Tocks Covers is on record as being notoriously late for many a party. Another great thing about music, is we all have the ability to sift through the archives and discover quality on our own time, and in our own space. Admittedly, Duran Duran was not in my wheelhouse of listening options between 1982 and the time of this release 30 years ago. Sometimes the artists who manage to redefine themselves become the ones most worthy of respect. Those of us who grew up in the ‘80s know that Duran Duran was among entertainment’s biggest acts for several years, but by the early ‘90s their star had faded. Music has the capacity to make the world a better place.Īs I have teased in the introduction, today’s feature is an evocative song by Simon LeBon and Duran Duran called ‘Ordinary World’. Together, those who are paying attention can witness this miracle unfold in real time. In an ‘Ordinary World’ music becomes the true embodiment of the butterfly effect. The meek become emboldened and the simplest of observations becomes an opportunity to change the world forever one note and one song at a time.

When we symbolically join hands and truly listen, the world becomes a better place. It helps to make sense of things as we make our way through this ‘Ordinary World’. Through the magic of music, we have all been connected. Out of this discovery, I was surprised to learn that as I shared, the words and music of artists who have touched me in many ways, the songs and lyrics Ted Tocks featured had a similar impact on many others. One thing I discovered is the more I wrote, the more I recognized I need to write. There is no way I could have known when I first sat down at my computer in advance of Januthat five years later, I would be looking back, knowing that more than half of the time I have been writing, the world would have been living under the cloud of COVID-19 and the many challenges that leaked out of this plague. Quite literally, since Ted Tocks Covers began as ‘Cover Your Face’ (my marketing team suggested a name change early on) in 2018, the words and music has literally been shared worldwide. I say modest, because it is nothing Earth shattering, but it does give me a sense of pride knowing that the music that defines me in many ways, does resonate with an audience that goes beyond my immediate circle. When I moved it to Word Press and began sharing it on multiple platforms as an actual blog, the readership expanded to a modest level. It all began as a way to share my love of music with friends on Facebook. The little hobby that has turned into a passion, or is it the other way around?

There is a significance to this because it also represents a full five years of blogging under this concept. This will be Ted Tocks Covers’ final post for 2022.
