    Listen, Soak Up and Enjoy...Behind the Music is a Living Whole Online podcast series that spotlights the stories of musician composers. The more we deepen our understanding and appreciation of the creative process from which music, art, writing, photography, filmmaking, energy practices and family connections emerge, the more we can embrace those creative energies within our own lives, and enhance our health, healing and relationships with ourselves and others.


    Listen to this lovely conversation between Kathryn Hayward, MD and award-winning composer and musician, Bill Shontz,. Bill is now performing on his own, having been one half of RosenShontz, the music duo that brought children’s music into genres including rock n’ roll, rap, blues, country and jazz. Bill and Gary Rosen composed and performed songs that both children and adults love.


    This Behind the Music podcast comes from his solo album, Where Did My Money Go?, and features Go For It, a song that will get you moving while you listen and keep you motivated long afterward. 


    I have a sign on my desk that says, “Always make new mistakes.” 

    Bill Shontz



    Lyrics

    Go For It, don’t hold back.

    You’ve got to Go For It, 

    You’re on the right track.

    Go For It, win or lose,
    G-O-F-O-R-I-T!

    The race isn’t over ‘til you cross the line,
    And if you didn’t win, you did your best time.
    You gave it a shot, you went all out,
    Now that’s the way to go, 
    Let’s hear you shout! 

    Be cool in school, always do your best,
    Make the grade on your next test.
    Hit the books—you’re not gonna die,
    I know you can do it—give it a try! 

    Oh, you wanna save the word from human pollution,
    Well, get off your duff and find a solution.
    You’re much better ‘cause you know what’s right,
    I know you can do it—join in the fight!
