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 |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 9, 2020 The radio station I listen to had a question on Friday that I thought was intriguing: what song did you know all the words to as a child? I have two. Both I heard over at my babysitter's place. She had 5 children, all older than me and many of them teenagers by the time I was 5. I loved these songs. Many we're played on their stereo system, but some from the radio. The first was Benny and the Jets. It was my first Elton John song and I have loved his songs ever since. It's from the album Yellow Brick Road which is a classic. And for fun.... mixing up the lyrics in 27 Dresses. I love this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNZpnWTVLOA The second song seems weird for a 5 year old to be singing, but I loved the story within the song. The 70's had a lot of songs with a story in them. Interesting even at that age the song's message resonated with me. I was not going to be one of those petty, materialistic villagers. Love and harmony were my thing. I hadn't realized it was originally written and sung by a Canadian group - The Original Caste. The video is cool too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Original_Caste One Tin Soldier The lyrics: https://www.bing.com/search?q=one+tin+soldier+rides+away+lyrics&form=EDGTCT&qs=A... |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 8, 2020 Since Lauren Daigle sounds a lot like Adele, I thought I would include one of Adele's songs I like and you can see if you think the same or not. Adele - Someone Like You Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead.... I love this line because it is so true. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 7, 2020 Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all have had a wonderful week. I decided to go with one more Lauren Daigle song as I really like her. This is the first song of hers that I heard and it is a definite favourite of mine. I chose this song because some days I can feel kind of down on myself. This song reminds me that I am worthy because You love me. God loves me and believes in me. He did not make crap. He created me and I will do my best to love and serve Him with all the gifts and talents He has bestowed. I am but a humble servant who aspires to shine a little light in my part of the world. God Bless and enjoy. Lauren Daigle's You Say. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 6, 2020 Today I needed that reminder that God is in my corner. I love this artist. Lauren Daigle is a Christian artist that sounds much like Adele, who I also enjoy. Lauren Daigle's words are a balm in a world that can sometimes be chaotic. I am very thankful for her reminder and God's love. I am also putting up some of the lyrics here from the song... Rescue by Lauren Daigle You are not hidden There's never been a moment You were forgotten You are not hopeless Though you have been broken Your innocence stolen I hear you whisper underneath your breath I hear your SOS, your SOS I will send out an army to find you In the middle of the darkest night It's true, I will rescue you There is no distance That cannot be covered Over and over You're not defenseless I'll be your shelter I'll be your armor |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 5, 2020 My mother has left on a 10 day cruise to the Caribbean. Sun and fun for here. I know she will have a wonderful time. I am home alone with the two cats. It has been a good long while since I have been on my own. I am excited, but also a little anxious. This song comes to mind.... Eric Carmen first released this song in 1976 (I was 10). Interesting this is done by a guy. I think the best versions are done with women.... just saying.... I'm putting it here, but not embedding it because I think it rather bland compared to the other versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbn6o5tiPds Celine Dion's version.... I prefer this version. And for fun: a little Bridget Jones's Diary This is the fuller version of the Bridget Jones's Diary one... just for my reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxLM5KHLFsQ |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 4, 2020 I am humming this song right now.... a kind of reminder that things are looking up... you just have to stay on course and keep moving forward.... Annie: The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. But, then I made the magical jump to this song which is also from a movie (Perfect Pitch). When I watched the official video and loved it too and decided to go for it instead. Anna Kendrick - Cups - You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Hope you enjoy. |
Soundtrack Of My Life February 3 Today is the anniversary of my father's passing. He had a heart attack while in the terminal cancer ward at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital. I was 12. He was 44. That was 41 years ago. I have picked a couple of songs that always play at my heartstrings and bring tears to my eyes. The first is Luther Vandross: Dance With My Father Again. The second is Dan Fogelberg: Leader of the Band When I first heard this song I was 12 or 13. I was taking guitar lessons. My Dad was not musically inclined, but the song spoke to me. The line: 'his blood runs through my instrument' reminds me that his blood runs through me and I am his living legacy. It was something that kept me going through those not kind teenage years. |
Soundtrack of My Life Blog February 2, 2020 Happy Sunday. Happy Groundhog Day. Not sure if the groundhog saw his shadow, but it has been snowing a good 24 hours and we have been doused with another bunch of the white stuff. I canceled my trip to Guelph for my Goals and Accountability meeting and later the host of the event canceled the event. Better safe than sorry. I will send an email of my accomplishments sometime today. Today is also a rare palindrome that has not happened in over 900 years - 02 02 2020. Now that is a wonderful little geeky tidbit I thought I would pass along. As for today's song.... hmmmm. Well, as this month is all about discovery, I am going to take a weird turn here and give you a taste of some music I have been incorporating as part of my own self improvement. I have been doing Sahaja Yoga since last summer. And thought I am not consistent with my meditation practice I am trying. Today's video is a taste of calm music that can be used to settle myself into focused awareness. This one is 30 minutes. Feel free to give it a listen... maybe it may lighten your load. Just looking at the images is rejuvenating. Being a Sunday it is a good day to relax and remember we are all part of something much larger than ourselves. My spiritual journey continues.... Have a blessed day. |
