Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

♫Remembering David Bowie♫

One of the most influential writers of pop music left a final tribute for all his fans. In fact, David Bowie's last release, Lazarus, was 'parting gift' for fans in carefully planned finale.
Lazarus, released on the Bowie's 69th birthday just two days before his death, opens with the lyrics: "Look up here, I'm in Heaven!"
David Bowie was an English rock star known for dramatic musical transformations, including his character Ziggy Stardust. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. David Bowie Biography

the bonds of the world to journey beyond the stars.

 The lyrics to "Changes" are often seen as a manifesto for David Bowie's chameleonic personality, the frequent change of the world today, and frequent reinventions of his musical style throughout the 1970s
