Soundtrack Of My Life February 19, 2020 because I have had a 12 hour work day and I am tired, I am going to pick something easy. I'm an eighties kids and I am going with another song I like. Fame Theme for the TV show Fame. I loved this show. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 18 I like o write with a group of friends at a Cafe in Waterloo on Monday nights. The cafe plays a lot of 80s music which is right up my alley. Of the many wonderful hits I listened to.... and often sang along with was one done by the band Chilliwack. A Canadian band out of Chilliwack BC. A quaint little town in the interior of British Columbia. I got to visit there with my mother and her boyfriend when I was 16 or so. I'm not sure how many hits this band had, but I particularly loved this song. It has a great, catchy beat. Watcha gonna do when I'm gone? Here's to an 80's childhood. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 17, 2020 Hell of a Girl by Grace. This is the same singer who did the newer version of You Don't Own Me. I love this young woman's voice. I also like the idea of what goes around comes around. This idiot broke her heart and messed around on her... and now he has to deal with his new girl doing the same to him. Karma is a sweet bitch. She's a hell of a girl! Love the personification of Karma. Makes me smile. Chorus lyrics: You messed up, you messed up Bet you feel so stupid that you played with my heart I don't care to see you, I don't care where you are I know you didn't think it comes back around, oh Karma, karma, karma, she's a hell of a girl, oh |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 16 It is Sunday. My spiritual center. I am a seeker. One who seeks outside the box. I am not locked into organized religion, per se. I was raised Christian and I believe in one God. Love is the foundation of my spiritual journey.... one that incorporates my God. I seek to find my inner peace through meditation and trying to strengthen my relationship with God. I am not locked into the dogma of religion, but I do appreciate the liturgy in both the Lutheran and Protestant churches that I have attended. The Golden Rule guides me - doing unto others as I would have others do unto me.... in other words I try to practice Love and Kindness. The world can always use a little more of those things. One of the things I do love is listening to Contemporary Christian music. Francesca Battistelli is one of my favourite artists. So today I want to do a Francesca Battistelli song, but I can't find the one I want. So I am going to go with this one - The Breakup Song... it's probably not what you think. Fear.... you will never be welcome here! Have a blessed day! |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 15 Irene Cara from the Flashdance movie... Flashdance What A Feeling. I never saw the movie, but I love the music. I'm an eighties kids so this is more from my time. One line that makes me laugh is "Take your passion...and make it happen." - that line in the song sounds like 'take your pants down... and make make it happen." Gets me snickering every time. Still the actual lyrics are important to me. We all need to take our passion and make it happen. I find it interesting that most of the music that is coming up this month is associate one way or another with movies. Lyrics: Flashdance, What a Feeling Irene Cara First when there's nothing But a slow glowing dream That your fear seems to hide Deep inside your mind All alone I have cried Silent tears full of pride In a world made of steel Made of stone Well, I hear the music Close my eyes, feel the rhythm Wrap around Take a hold of my heart What a feeling Bein's believin' I can have it all Now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion And make it happen Pictures come alive You can dance right through your life Now I hear the music Close my eyes, I am rhythm In a flash It takes hold of my heart What a feeling Bein's believin' I can have it all Now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion And make it happen Pictures come alive You can dance right through your life What a feeling What a feeling (I am music now) Bein's believin' (I am… |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 14, 2020 Today is Valentine's Day. I was thinking I should do some kind of lovely dovey song, but truth be told I am not a big fan of Valentine's Day these days. So I think I will stick with the song I had picked ahead of time: You Don't Own Me. A feminist kicker. I have also got the original version with Lesly Gore (1963) and I found a more recent version I quite like by Grace. The original is older than I am. You Don't Own Me - Lesley Gore 1963 A newer version by Grace. Lyrics of the Leslie Gore version: You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display Because you don't know me, don't try to shame me in any way You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I never stay And don't tell me what to say, don't tell me what to do Just let me be myself, that's all I ask from you I'm young and I like to be young I'm free and I like to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display I'm young and I like to be young I'm free and I like to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please Songwriters: Cindy Walker, Eddy Arnold |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 13, 2020 These boots are made for walking.... Nancy Sinatra (1966 Original) versus Jessica Simpson's version from the Dukes of Hazard movie. I love the song, hate the videos. Both videos are over the top for me as far as short, skimpy outfits. I do like the part where Jessica punches the loser that smacks her bottom. The car washing scene is excessive as far as I'm concerned. Nancy Sinatra version: Jessica Simpson version: These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ Nancy Sinatra You keep a sayin' you got something for me something you call love but confess yes You've been a messin' where you shouldn't been a messin' And now someone else is a gettin' all your best These boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep lyin' when you ought to be true then And you keep loosin' when you ought enough bad You keep a samin' when you oughta be a changin' The what's right is right and you ain't been right yet These boots are made for walkin' You keep a playin' where you shouldn't be playin' And you keep a thinkin' that you'll never get burned I've just found me a brand new box of matches yeah And what he knows you ain't that time to learn These boots are made for walkin' Come on boots let's walk all over Songwriters: LEE HAZLEWOOD © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 12, 2020 So what song for today..... Maybe something that represents my interest in yoga and meditation... most of those are rather long and I already included something like that the first Sunday of the month. What about motivation.... yeah, let's go with that. Looking over the list in one article I decided on a favourite: Ain't No Mountain High Enough. I copied this from the article: “Don’t you know that there ain’t no mountain high enough. Ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough. To keep me from getting to you, baby”. Whatever your baby may be, it’s your goal. There may be obstacles on the way, but you can overcome them to reach that goal." https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/30-inspirational-songs-that-keep-you... I like the fact that 'your baby' can be any goal you set your mind to. It gives the song a whole new level - one that does not have to be relationship based. That suits me just fine. Keep striving for your goals, baby! |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 11, 2020 Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody. I love this song. I often find myself singing the words to the song. There is something about this song and this group that I love. Some interesting tidbits about the song. It's meaning was something people speculated about... I just the lyrics and the story it tells. It's deeper meaning does not really concern me. Check it out: https://www.songmeaningsandfacts.com/meaning-of-bohemian-rhapsody-by-queen/ The lyrics: Bohemian Rhapsody Queen, Geoffrey Simon Is this the real life, is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide no escape from reality Open your eyes look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go A little high, little low Anyway the wind blows Doesn't really matter to me, to me Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, ooh Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody, I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all I see a little silhouette of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro magnifico But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come easy go will you let me go Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go Will not let you go, let me go (never) Never let you go, let me go Never let me go, ooh No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me For me, for me So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh baby, can't do this to me baby Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here Ooh yeah, ooh yeah nothing really matters Anyone can see nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me Anyway the wind blows Songwriters: Freddie Mercury © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 10, 2020 One of my favourite shows as a kid was Mary Tyler Moore. I watched a lot of TV as a kid. I have included the theme song version and the original country version by Sonny Curtis. I prefer the Mary Tyler Moore lyrics better... more forward thinking than the country tune, but I included them both. The lyrics for the theme song are much more forward thinking for a young woman making it on her own... and I am gonna make it! Mary Tyler Moore Show Theme Lyrics / Love is All Around Lyrics by Sonny Curtis Full song by Sonny Curtis: Lyrics: Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's you girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all! Full Version Continues: How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone But it's time you started living It's time you let someone else do some giving Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all Season 1 Version: How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone But it's time you started living It's time you let someone else do some giving Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You might just make it after all You might just make it after all! source: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/marytylermooreshowlyrics.html |
