Sting - Nothing Like The Sun


We bought this CD in 1987 when we bought a brand new stereo system, yes..I said stereo system. I have no idea what they call them these days. Everyone seems to walk around with wires in their ears. In any case..it was played many many times during the year before our daughter was born.

Our daughter was born in August of 1988 and when I finally came home from the hospital 5 days later (they don't seem to do that any longer either) I came into my home filled with pink and white helium balloons throughout the house, There must have been 100 balloons floating around with white ribbons hanging down. As I entered the house with our new bundle of joy, my husband had qued up one of my favorite songs from this album on our new stereo:

"We'll Be Together"

I see me with you and all the things you do
Keep turning round and round in my mind
Forget the weather we should always be together
And any other thought is unkind

To have you with me I would swim the sevens seas
Is dancing here with you in my arms
Forget the weather we should always be together
I'll always be a slave to your charms

To have you with me I would swim the seven seas
To have you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together

Call me baby. You can call me anything you want
Call me baby Call me Just call me
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah

I see you with me and baby makes three
I see me with you and all the things we do
Forget the weather we should always be together
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together tonight
That was almost 18 years ago and our bundle of joy is about to graduate high school and embark on a new chapter in her life. I have a pretty good feeling that we too are about to embark on a new chapter in OUR lives as well. My only question is...WHERE DID THE TIME GO?? I hear the song and it feels like only yesterday..

1975..I was a senior in High School...listened to this album 1000 times...I mean what can be better.. David Bowie, David Sanborn on sax..John Lennon is even on it..

It totally rocks, it totally grooves and of course we all knew every word of The title track..

Good God it doesn't get much better..I'm diggin' it.

The Beatles Rubber Soul


The Beatles Rubber Soul 1965. Let's see I was 7 when this album was released. I suppose I learned most of these songs when I got older.. In My Life is one of the songs I would include in the soundtrack of my life (If I were ever to put one together) Of course Michele is beautiful and I do remember when that was on the radio as a child.

I appreciate the folk-rock songs like Think For Yourself and The Word definitely has unmistakable LOVE theme of the 60's. I think perhaps we should bring that back. What the world DOES need now is love.

Peace

The Legend Of Johnny Cash




The Legend of Johnny Cash

Tonight I shared KP with my daughter. She enjoyed Johnny and June. However she rolled her eyes pretty good whan A Boy Named Sue came on...cuz..I knew all the words! Explained to her that his last song HURT is a Nine Inch Nails song. Yes I constantly impress her with my vast knowledge of pop culture....NOT. :-)

C'mon sing along:

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew........


One of these days I go ahead and put an entire song on here..
